NON SPOILERS: Twin Peaks: Season 3 on Showtime Thread

[Mr. Reindeer]

A lot of interesting stuff from DKL. He, like Mark, didn't bother to rewatch the original show at all. Huh. I had my faith in DKL (who tended to be the keeper of the light as far as the 1989 date goes), but it sounds like we definitely might be in for some rocky continuity.

He seems to have a sense of humor about MJA not returning, and even drops a vaguely spoilerish comment cryptically confirming a recast (or, perhaps more likely, a completely change in physical form).

It's interesting that he repeatedly says he's not "allowed" to talk about certain things in these interviews. I wonder if he's honoring some sort of personal or spiritual code? Or did he sign a NDA too?

Definitions with DKL: A film can be released in 18 parts aired over many weeks. A FEATURE, however, is max 3 hours and is released in theaters.

He also comes across as much more open to continuing the series, saying it depends how it "goes over." I'm hoping for a closed ending, but that definitely sounds like there could more story to tell.

Interesting comment in there from Lynch himself about S2.

"Mr. Lynch said in a phone interview, explaining that his work on the film “Wild at Heart” pulled him away from the show after the first season."

Oh David, don't you remember you were doing Wild at Heart while making the first season, not the second? It was shown in Cannes two days after (or a few days before - wikipedia says May 25th, imdb says May 19th) the last episode of the first season of Twin Peaks was aired. There is no way Wild at Heart "pulled him away from the show after the first season."

One of the members of this Board stated way back in 2015 that he met Lynch on set and Lynch could not confirm whether he was playing Gordon Cole or not (at the time) because it would violate his NDA. Don't remember who the poster was.

Lynch did say he'd signed an NDA in an earlier interview.

He must have watched the original series when doing the Blu-ray, right?

Don Murray.

Another Jean Renault?

I am hoping Don Murray has a fairly sizable role.

I recall him saying in some interview(?) a year(?) or two(?) ago something akin to "well, there is this thing called the NDA" when someone tried to ask him about Twin Peaks.

Lynch organising an NDA for himself as an excuse not to reveal anything is the most Lynch thing ever.

All this press and marketing. . .

. . .still no Ray Wise.

I'm far from convinced neither of them went back and looked at at least some of the show.

[Mr. Reindeer]

So DKL stopped watching the show when it was originally airing, and didn't watch it when he made the Return. When asked why, he goes back to talking about how the Pilot is the purest version of TP for him.

He must have watched the original series when doing the Blu-ray, right?

I think on those type of projects a lot of delegation is involved, and especially on a TV series, a producer might just watch key scenes to get a sense. Particularly since DKL was busy on TMP at the same time, I doubt he sat there and watched every second of every episode.

[Dropout]

In regards to either Frost or Lynch rewatching the original series. I think they could get away with a lot with the 25 year gap. Especially with the dreamlike nature of Lynch's stories.

But I bet they also had someone on set that focused on continuity. Or would look things up I'd they were referencing things from 25 years ago. It's not hard to find detailed descriptions.

I read in a recent piece (can't remember which) that certain actors aren't even allowed to discuss the show until AFTER all 18 parts have aired - presumably due to the nature of their respective roles. Whether this is common knowledge here or if I've read/interpreted that wrong I don't know, but it stands to reason that Ray Wise is one of those people. It would make sense given his character.

[Dom834]

She's 26. Yes, she'd be too young to be TP, but as you've pointed out, Cooper was too young as well. Are we sure she's TP? Isn't this something that is still highly speculated? Wasn't the most recent fan belief that TP's likely to be Chrysta Bell? I think it's also possible that TP is one of the many other actresses.

I have less problem with the cheat of having someone be Special Agent at 26 y.o, than I have with the notion that Mark Frost gave a 26 y.o. agent a career of at least seven years in the FBI. I've no idea where the speculation about Shiels (or about Chrysta) as Preston comes from. Others have speculated that Preston ought to be between early 30s and early 50s to fit the clues from the book. I've seen many mentions of Madeline Zima, 31, as a candidate for Preston since we've seen somewhat formally dressed in a teaser saying "Try me". That'd be like Cooper.

Of course some wonder if Frost did introduce in the book the "new Cooper" of the series with Tamara, or more like a new Chester Desmond...
