That gum you like is going to come back in style: Kyle MacLachlan and David Lynch are likely to be involved in the new “Twin Peaks” project, and Michael Anderson (far right) would definitely be a must for any Black Lodge scenes.
When “Twin Peaks” began airing on ABC in the early 1990s, director David Lynch seemed to know he was sowing the seeds for something that would continue to bloom for the rest of his working life.
More than two decades later, the director is reportedly filming more footage for the series that redefined the notion of a “cult favorite.”
And why shouldn’t Lynch return to this weird Northwest logging town? In a dream sequence in the final episode, Laura Palmer — the series’ mysteriously murdered centerpiece — tells Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), “I’ll see you again in 25 years.” Granted, she tells him this in an alternate reality known as the Black Lodge, and she says it kind of backwards, but hey, it will soon be 25 years.
According to the fan website Welcome To Twin Peaks, a casting call went out on Facebook from Sande Alessi Casting last week (the post was allegedly only up for a few hours) and filming is beginning today (Jan. 7)! This was the message:
TWIN PEAKS PROMO. Directed by David Lynch. Shoots in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Prob a 6 hour or less day. Rate is 150/8. You must live in LA to submit. I don’t think SAG has jurisdiction on this, so SAG and NON can submit. I have called SAG to double check this and I am awaiting a call back to confirm this though. HOT Caucasian girl – BRUNETTE OR REDHEADS ONLY to play waitress. Age 18-27. MUST have an amazing body. Busty, very period looking face. Please submit two current color photos (one body shot, one face shot), your sizes, union status and contact info to: SandeAlessiCasting@gmail.com. Subject line should read: TP Promo
While the posting reads a little bit like a personals ad on Craigslist, the description does seem to be in keeping with Lynch’s weird quirks. Not that he’s ever said, “I love HOT Caucasian girls” or anything (or that saying that would even be weird… actually, it would) but the busty and period-looking face seems like it would be something he would demand of an actress.
At the height of its popularity, “Twin Peaks” products outside of the television show included a diary of Laura Palmer, a cassette recording of all of Cooper’s dictaphone messages he left for himself (or for “Dianne,” rather) and of course, the weird-ass prequel feature film “Fire Walk with Me.”
