Honestly, it's 2015. You get the people who did True Detective to do Twin Peaks, and they're going to do it better than Lynch wants to.

I said this on twitter, but mark my words - this show will not happen. this stuff with Lynch was just the beginning of the trouble.
What are you thinking? Is this gonna be like Jodorovsky and Dune? Keep looking for that perfect situation until the whole thing just pops under pressure?
I think that their fallback is a Jodo/Dune scenario tbh - way to recoup the inevitable loss this is going to take. Put it this way - a good portion of these actors haven't worked with any regularity since the 90s. There were so many issues with cast members the first time around, I find it hard to believe that everyone is going to settle back in, hunky dory. I think one of the reasons why the show went for as long as it did is that Lynch DIDNT direct the majority of it. It allowed some of the less talented, more method actors (face it - like 3/4ths of the cast) to sort of not have to take on so much responsibility in the show. Not to mention, BOB, Jack Nance, and Major Briggs are dead. Those are three key characters/actors who really added a LOT to the show.
I'm saying this 100% as a Lynch fan, major TP fan, etc. - I just really don't think most people (including the actors themselves, and Showtime) want "Fire Walk With Me: The Series." It sounds good from the sidelines and I'm sure a lot of them are hyped to have work again, but my faith in seeing this project come to term is waning.
To be honest, I would rather Lynch was making something original than this revival, but I just need him to be making something other than music. Whatever it will be, it will be new Lynch. And that will be amazing in some way.
I didn't know there was a doc on Nance! Anyone have it?
I'm standing by the notion that anybody OTHER than Lynch should be directing this.
