David Lynch on Twin Peaks Season 4: “Never Say Never”

Published

on

The second coming of Twin Peaks was either a blessing or a curse for most viewers, with many lamenting the finale. The show’s return was very, very different than the prior two seasons – to say the least – and many felt let down or angry with it. Still, there were some who thought it to be everything they had ever hoped for.

Both parties may be thankful, then, that David Lynch has recently given an interview with THR in which he gives hope to those either looking for a continuation because they love the show or looking for a resolution that they feel is worth it. When asked what it would take for him and Frost to return to the world of Twin Peaks, Lynch said:

I don’t know. It’s too early to say that right now.

A scene from the immortal Dumb and Dumber immediately comes to mind…

He continued:

I’ve learned to never say never.

These statements really don’t sound like anything definitive – cue the Carrey quote again – but the end of the interview brought up some interesting points. It also gave us a glimpse of Lynch being, well, Lynch.

Going back to the feelings you’re having about TV, have you started thinking in terms of long-form storytelling more often in your mind?

Yeah, it’s thrilling to me. Continuing story. It’s absolutely thrilling.

And do you think that TV is generally ready for the kind of stories you want to tell, or was Showtime a special case?

No, I think they’re generally ready. And I think it’s what’s happening. All these things go in waves. But right now, it’s a very friendly environment for a continuing story.

Does that make you want to dive in aggressively? Does it make you want to go, I want to catch this wave while it’s still cresting?

In some ways, yes. (Pauses.)

And in other ways?

No. (Laughs.)

Will Twin Peaks season 4 ever happen? If David Lynch knows, he’s not telling. At least not yet.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
