David Lynch: Celebs Rumors

Keeping up with the subset cult around whispering David Lynch rumors can be a little taxing and trying, but as we know, the filmmaker hasn’t released anything since the transformative “Twin Peaks: The Return” series in 2017. But as it turns out, there appear to be some truths to some of the rumors and speculation circulated over the last five years.

Kyle MacLachlan has shared a list of 10 films that he thinks would be his Twin Peaks character Dale Cooper’s favourites – check out the list below.MacLachlan played the FBI agent Cooper in David Lynch’s cult show Twin Peaks in its initial run in 1990 and 1991, its 1992 spin-off film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and its 2017 revival, Twin Peaks: The Return.The eccentric investigator is assigned to the town of Twin Peaks in the show to look into the brutal murder of the high school student Laura Palmer, although he is often more interested in the quality of the coffee and a good cherry pie than anything else.Now, in a post on the film social networking site Letterboxd, MacLachlan has posted a list of films that he has described as “Dale Cooper’s picks”.The list includes the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic Rear Window, the subversive 1977 Italian horror film Suspiria and the satirical 1979 Peter Sellers comedy-drama Being There.It also includes a couple of noir classics – 1944’s Laura and Double Indemnity – as well as Ingmar Bergman’s arthouse gem Persona, the James Stewart courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder and the 1981 sex comedy Waitress!In a moment of meta self-reflection, the list is rounded out by Blue Velvet, Lynch and MacLachlan’s previous collaboration, and Fire Walk With Me itself.MacLachlan is currently starring in the highly anticipated television adaptation of the video game franchise, Fallout, which arrived on Prime Video earlier this month.And the actor, at the request of his Fallout co-star Ella Purnell, recently sent the “sweetest” video to a Twin Peaks mega fan.Speaking to NME, Purnell revealed that she’d left it late to get her friend – who was a huge fan of the David Lynch show – a Christmas gift and so

Well, well, maybe David Lynch hasn’t “retired” from filmmaking after all. The iconic surreal filmmaker declared in 2017 that he would never make another film again, the same year his Showtime series, “Twin Peaks: The Return” aired.

David Lynch‘s “Blue Velvet” continues to cause a stir nearly four decades after its release, with the film having just as many detractors as it does champions. And in a recent interview with IndieWire, actress Isabella Rossellini had a chance to respond to one of the film’s harshest critics: the late Roger Ebert.   READ MORE: ‘La Chimera’ Trailer: Alice Rohrwacher’s Latest Drama Stars Josh O’Connor, Isabella Rossellini & More Ebert infamously trounced the film upon release in 1986, particularly how Lynch treated Rossellini in her performance, deeming it exploitative.

Patricia Arquette built a career by showing up in eclectic, high-profile 1990s flicks like “Ed Wood,” “Bringing Out the Dead” and “Holy Matrimony.”But there was one film that the Oscar winner, 55, appears to have found a little bit too weird — the mysterious 1997 thriller “Lost Highway.”Arquette recently opened up about her experience on the cult-fave David Lynch project — and why filming an iconic nude scene was actually a “terrifying” experience, Variety reported.Arquette portrayed the dual role of Renee Madison/Alice Wakefield in the drama, alongside an ensemble cast that consisted of Bill Pullman, Balthazar Getty, Gary Busey, Giovanni Ribisi and Richard Pryor.During an appearance at the Series Mania Festival in France on Thursday, Arquette noted that at the time, she was “so extremely modest.”“I would take a bath in the dark,” she said. “The scene when my character had to strip was terrifying to me.”The “Boyhood” star added that the cast and crew would say degrading things to her when she had to peel off her clothes.

Dune sequel has been found, teasing what could have been had the director’s plans for a trilogy come to fruition.Max Evry, the author of ‘A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History,’ unearthed the script in July of last year while working on his book, finding it in Frank Herbert’s (the author of Dune and its five sequels) archives at California State University, Fullerton.In an article for WIRED, Evry spoke highly of the Lynch’s script, saying: “He also cracked a way to tell the complex story of Herbert’s 1969 novel Dune Messiah, easily the least cinematic book in the series.”“It may ring of sacrilege to some, but Lynch’s Dune II would have bested Herbert’s book — and been one hell of a movie,” he added.Evry noted various intriguing details about the script, including how it opened with a new set of scenes that don’t feature in Herbert’s novel, picking up in the aftermath of the Harkonnen’s attack on Arrakeen that saw Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan) killed in action.Lynch’s Messiah would have also revealed that Leonardo Cimino’s mysterious doctor from the first film was actually a major figure from Herbert’s novels: Scytale, a “face-dancer” of the sinister genetically enhanced beings known as the Bene Tleilax.Following the assault on Arrakeen, Scytale takes Idaho’s body and attempts to resurrect him as the clone “Ghola” Hayt.

Todd Gilchrist editor When Julee Cruise died last year on June 9, David Lynch fans lost another of the essential, even inextricable collaborators who became a part of their lives as a result of being part of his art. Her ethereal singing is synonymous with both “Blue Velvet” and the many incarnations of “Twin Peaks,” the latter of whose title theme she performed. If Cruise’s absence from the physical plane runs the risk of dimming her star in our collective memories, Sacred Bones’ vinyl reissue of her 1989 album “Floating Into the Night” offers a welcome opportunity to restore it to its full luster by letting listeners experience her work anew — carrying the legacy of her and Lynch’s historic collaboration, but unencumbered by the images he paired with her music.

David Lynch has opened up about the state of cinema in a new interview.Speaking to Cahiers du Cinema, Lynch said a number of factors have caused cinema to struggle – including the coronavirus pandemic, changes in the way people access films now (via streaming, for example) and the increase in the number of television series.Last November, Britain’s second largest cinema operator, Cineworld, forecasted that admissions would remain below pre-pandemic levels for the next two years. While UK and Ireland box office sales hit £690m in ticket sales last year, that was still 30 per cent below for the same period, pre-pandemic in 2019 (via The Guardian).Lynch said “coronavirus has put a stop” to watching films in cinemas, adding: “Feature films are in a bad place, series have taken their place…You could sit down and actually have the experience of stepping into a whole new world.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.In the latest issue of Cahiers du Cinema, Lynch praised how good a “revenge movie” the film is.He said: “Tarantino’s [Once Upon A Time in Hollywood] shows how real life events could have turned out very differently.
