I see Lara Flynn Boyle has been in the press today - not looking very well sadly .Made me think of Twin Peaks. I miss that show ! I liked Lucy , played by Kimmy Roberston , oh and cherry pie
There's likely to be a blu-ray set of the series & FWWM next year, and it may have the near legendary 45 minutes plus of deleted Fire Walk With Me scenes, including a longer version of the 'How's Annie?' scene that was shot for the film.
Fingers crossed that FWWM plus deleted scenes is on the UK release... or that the US release is multi-region! (Universal vs Paramount issues, apparently...)
There's been some fun and games with this one of late.
After the Amazon listing went live and pre-orders started going in Amazon cancelled them and withdrew the listing. Then there was a Twin Peaks-related casting call going out to do some sort of promo for the show's anniversary. That was then denied.
Luckily, Ray Wise was on hand during an interview with Fangoria to set the record straight;
Channel hopping at 14 and happening upon by chance the Red Room during a showing of FWWM on BBC2 one night, got to say it warped my mind and I got obsessed. Lynch is just Lynch, as in you can't neatly categorise his work. I'd never felt curiosity and fear at the same time for a fictional piece of work.
Just finally completed watching the gold edition box set....WOW! Just WOW I loved it first time and adored rewatchinv it many years on....while in so many ways i wish the show did go on for more seasons....WOW!
I also have to say that while the Palmer mystery was exceptional...i found the Earle mystery in season 2 more intriguing and psycho and insane...would have loved to have seen where the show was heading after season 2 :-) so many questions still up in the air....ordered FWWM on DVD to watch for the very first time....very excited about watching it.

They have Twin Peaks festivals if you happen to have the dosh !! they are held in the U/S where it was filmed and are very popular still .
Just started watching the Gold Box Edition, I forgot how good this show was. I loved Dale Cooper, obviously, but apart from him my favourite character was Audrey. I love the music too, it's making me feel all nostalgic for my teenage years.
Anyone else a fan?
Sherilyn Fenn is divine.a real treat.I often wonder why she didnt go on to become a big Hollywood star.
Oh how i would lvoe to go...see what i do not understand is the fact the show is so popular still and definitely cult by definition....Lynch and Frost could easily dream up something beautiful and revisit Twin Peaks again with the cast....remember what Laura said "25 years from now..." still relevant.
And yeah speaking of Audrey.....that cliffhanger scene in the finale! wow....so well shot....i felt where is this going? then literal BAM...just hope if they did do a third season that she would be a part of it still Audrey is electric!
Dale
Audrey
Lucy
Andy
Catherine
were my favourite characters across the show.
And my gosh the talent that was Sheryl Lee as both Maddy and Laura in the show and film...she really is out of this world!
Speaking of the film i also wished they did a trilogy as planned ...the response was so unfair Stateside, the movie is ingenius and so beautifully made.

Id love Catherine to return in a series 3 but the actress is about 84 so is it likely?
;-) It's funny you mentioned Lucy , my son was married to the actress who played her but it only lasted a year .Ah , Hollywood marriages .( I hope my son doesn't read this site )
Realistically I think all we can hope for is that the rumours swirling about for some added Lynch work may be added to the forthcoming blu ray .:( new or unseen bits ??
Yeah I mean i am sure he never wants to repeat the studio pressures he had whilst on the show....the conflicts with Frost as to whether revealing the killer or not etc...
But he could do it...the fanbase is out there and with great marketing it would be a success :-) it is a show/film/legacy translated worldwide :-) really would love a revisit or something special revealed as to where the next two films would head and where the new mysteries would have taken the characters ...i mean Audrey, Leo etc where were their stories headed next? and what about the "Hows Annie?" climax...where that was headed...MANY great speculations but darn i would love an official follow up :-) a genius world created.

I would imagine it's the deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me in 1 form or another. The first cut of FWWM was 4 hours long, 17 scenes were deleted to get it to it's released run time. The following characters were in the never seen long cut of FWWM, but not the short version:
Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Deputy Tommy 'Hawk' Hill, Doctor Jacoby, Dr Will Hayward, Josie Packard, 'Big Ed' Hurley, Benjamin Horne, Silvia Horne, Major Garland Briggs, Deputy Andy Brennan, Lucy Moran, Eileen Hayward, Pete Martell, Nadine Hurley, Jerry Horne, Johnny Horne, Betty Briggs.
When Jack Nance died Lynch was rumoured to want to put a cut comedy scene where Nance's character Pete Martell has an argument with the bank manager from the final episode back in the film, but it never happened.
In any case I'd imagine the scenes will be released at some point now.
Comments
A 720p version of the series has been available from iTunes for a while, and from memory I think this was upgraded to 1080p last year.
The series looks very nice in HD.
Just wish they'd get around to releasing The West Wing now, another one that's had a HD transfer done for ages with no sign of a BD release
Fingers crossed that FWWM plus deleted scenes is on the UK release... or that the US release is multi-region! (Universal vs Paramount issues, apparently...)

Bottom line - Yes there was a promo shot, yes David Lynch directed it, yes there's a Blu Ray set coming out.
Thanks Ray.

I found the concept of Nadine Hurley intriguing.
who wouldnt wanna marry her
but yeah i would love Lynch to make a film or mini series (6 episodes maybe) to round off the universe and revisit characters...would be beautiful.
