Wow.
What? This really is surprising. I'm definitely concerned with almost every aspect of it, but I still don't think I could even form an opinion until I've seen it.
But, really. Wow.
I'm really surprised MacLachlin is the one to want to do it, too. I had always heard he was super hesitant about doing Fire Walk With Me.
I'm not sure if I think Lynch's style has changed all that much, though. While humor seems to be less and less a crucial part of his work, I think his nightmare vision is still the very same that we saw in Eraserhead. You watch a dream sequence from Twin Peaks, or the diner scene in Mulholland Drive, or really any part of Inland Empire, and so on, and it still gives off that confusingly perfect translation of nightmare logic and his mood is always spot-on. I think his filmmaking heart is still in the same place that it was in 1990, or even 1970 for that matter. I'm worried this Twin Peaks would lose something in his non-involvement.
However, if they don't actively try to make it like the television show and try to make it more of its own thing, then I think they might have something. Either way, you're definitely right when you say that there are millions of stories left to be told in this universe.
I don't know. I'm going to throw up my hands on this one and just wait.
