Re: Lynch sets record straight on Bowie dub
Well, they would have needed a new voice actor for the new scenes anyway, so in a way it makes sense to overdub the FWWM scenes too.Rik Renault wrote:https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/david-ly ... win-peaks/

Re: Lynch sets record straight on Bowie dub
Unless it was never intended to have Jefferies on screen. I see no reason Bowie couldn't have gone in to record dialogue even if he was sick. It all could have been knocked out in a day. And Bowie even recorded private demos within the last month of his life according to Tony Visconti. I really believe he just didn't want his voice to be in there like Lynch stated.mtwentz wrote:Well, they would have needed a new voice actor for the new scenes anyway, so in a way it makes sense to overdub the FWWM scenes too.Rik Renault wrote:https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/david-ly ... win-peaks/

Re: Lynch sets record straight on Bowie dub
is this the first time we've heard that he was doing a Louisiana accent?

Re: Lynch sets record straight on Bowie dub
Bowie's accent was not authentic obviously, but it wasn't meant to be. I mean you don't hire David Bowie and ask him to speak in a Southern accent for authenticity. It's too bad he felt bad about it (if that was the case). I wonder if he thought hiring an actor from Louisiana would make it more authentic? The end result was an actor from Louisiana imitating an inauthentic Louisiana accent.
