Lynch enlivens ‘Peaks’ enigma
“Twin Peaks” fans who’ve been waiting more than 25 years to find out what happened to Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) will have to wait just a bit longer because answers were in short supply Monday.
Filmmaker David Lynch made a surprise appearance to discuss the much-anticipated continuation of the cult series, which will have a two-hour premiere May 21 on Showtime.
The series will consist of 18 episodes, all directed by Lynch and written by Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost.
He was followed by a panel featuring returning cast members MacLachlan, Kimmy Robertson (Lucy) and Madchen Amick (Shelly), as well as two Lynch veterans, Laura Dern and Robert Forster, who are technically new to the “Twin Peaks” universe.
The director, dressed in his signature blazer and tieless button-down, was in quintessentially Lynchian form, responding to hopelessly specific questions with what sounded like Buddhist scripture.
As for possible future seasons of “Twin Peaks,” Lynch said he had no plans for anything more — at least not right now.
“Before, I said I wasn’t going to revisit it, and I did,” he admitted. “I never say no.”
