The Empire Strikes Back
Posted on Thr, 12-May-2005

Dressed in a 'Blue Velvet' suit, David Lynch hopes a car to 'Twin Peaks' - deciding the 'Mulholland Drive' route is the quickest and easiest way to get there. Unfortunately, the car slides off the road, and into a 'Dune'.

Yup, obvioulsy someone bows at the funky flip-flops of David Lynch.

Reason to celebrate Lynch-ites, the wicket-keeper of weird is returning to what he does best. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lynch's next film will be unveiled at Cannes this week.

Details are sketchy - even the posters in Cannes for the film have been covered up, until the announcement - but "Inland Empire" is said to be typical Lynch. "It's about a film within a film. There's nothing to see, there's no script," one top international buyer said.

Believed to be involved in the film - which has been shooting scenes for two years now - are Lynch faves Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton, as well as acclaimed actor Jeremy Irons.

A few months back we mentioned that Australian actor Kick Gurry was making a movie with David Lynch. This could very well be the same movie.

"It's about a woman in trouble, and it's a mystery, and that's about all I want to say about it," Lynch tells Variety. The title refers to the bleak residential area on the edge of the desert near Los Angeles".

French sales and distribution company StudioCanal is backing the project, which they've been trying to keep under wraps for a while now.

how the hell do you make a film with big names like that and not a single person in the world leaked it..i google my favorite artist (wendy and lisa, lynch and a couple others) to see if any word of new work will be coming out....i find more articles about whats up with wendy then i have with lynch the last few years.....


i am shocked!!!

okay, so we have more info now and this is what is shocking to me...this film is complete and being released to Cannes *this* week.

now, with our current cultural climate we usually get some type of heads up when i a film is being worked on....when i first read that this was coming out i figured it was still a work in progress....till i found this:




i am shocked!!!

i heard the title 'inland empire' getting knocked around for a while, but nothing much else. for some reason, i seem to remember crispin glover mentioning it in an interview, about possibly having a small part in it (unless that's just my wishful thinking gone into overdrive)...but that title certainly rings a bell. awesome. i'm ready for a new lynch film.

Yay! Another pretentious film where all meaning is obscured by layers of symbolism. Where do I stand in line to buy my ticket?

Filmmakers making films about filmmakers is just as dull as authors writing books about authors. A little more creativity please! Still, I'm looking forward to it. Although not always good, his work is always interesting.
