STILL wrapped in plastic?! DAVID LYNCH revives long-dead cult classic TWIN PEAKS.
The water cooler 1980s fave is returning as an all-nudes-bared cabler for Showtime as a limited 9 ep mini-series.
David Lynch and co-creagtor Mark Frost issued a joint statement saying, “ The mysterious and special world of Twin Peaks is pulling us back. We’re very excited. May the forest be with you.”
They both teased a possible return last Friday on Twitter igniting a plethgora of log lady wanna-bes.
Showtime prexy David Nevins enthused, “To quote Agent Cooper, “I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling will be a place both exciting and strange.”
For those not in the know, the original series with murdered daughters, whorehouses, dancing dwarves replete with eerie Angelo Badalamenti orchestrations was the granddaddy of LOST-like TV serials — full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. The show aired on ABC from 1990-91 and spawned a feature film “Twin Peaks; Fire Walk With Me”.
It is unclear at this point if ANY of the original cast will appearing but expect new blood (i.e. hot young bods) and surprise cameos — from both the living and the dead.
Laura Palmer, we hardly knew ye.
