Just spotted:

Dear Twitter Friends, Showtime did not pull the plug on Twin Peaks.

— David Lynch (@DAVID_LYNCH) April 5, 2015

After 1 year and 4 months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done.

This weekend I started to call actors to let them know I would not be directing. Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime.

How stupid can they be?

Hire David Lynch then try and make it less like a David Lynch production

I know nothing of Twin Peaks, but someone who holds a show to ransom like this, rarely results in a good long term product.

David Lynch is a "quirky" individual and Twin Peaks was a quirky show.

The fact that he held the studio to ransom does not surprise me at all, but people will expect a great deal of this...it was popular, but not "Game of Thrones" popular.
I'd be worried if I was the studio...Lynch is notoriously hard to work with and the results could be anything from brilliant to downright bizarre nonsense.

Whoever think they may watch the new one I strongly suggest watching the first two seasons.

Well that was kinda my point really. Sometimes it's better to leave sleeping dogs lie. I'd say for most people they would rather remember something they enjoyed, than see it remade and destroyed.

HaH! What makes you think that watching the first two seasons would help anyone understand the show?? LOL

watching seasons 1 and 2 plus the film fire walk with me will only add to the frustration and confusion of this show.

that's why fans loved it.

I don't care about understanding.

I just want to see red dwarves speaking in tongues and lewd fat men speaking in subtitles in night clubs.

What a brilliant idea.. subtitles in nightclubs!
