I am privy to knowledge that *something* Is very close to being a deal and/or announced. Covid isn’t helping but it’s been in the works a while. I have my fingers crossed, and think y’all would be excited. This something is obvy not TP.

Not sure what you can say, but I wonder if this is something only Frost related or Lynch too?

Well, Brad quoted Jerry's post specifically asking about Frost, but I hesitate to read too much into that.

Let's see, what would be Mark Frost's dream project that has nothing to do with TP? Perhaps a show or film about Theosophy/occult/etc.

Then again, Lynch and Sabrina Sutherland have hinted at something, so maybe Lynch and Frost have separate projects in the works at the same time, or perhaps they've got a joint project that isn't Twin Peaks, though the latter doesn't seem very likely.

Why don't we ask him?
Brad, is it a Frost project or is Lynch involved as well?

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd rather see Lynch and Frost collaborate on a new, original project than more Twin Peaks (though I'd be very happy to see either).

Not sure I'd be super excited about a Frost film/television project that didn't involve Lynch, though I'm very interested in Jiddu Krishnamurti so I'd be interested to see what Frost does with that. That's probably not a project Lynch would be involved in, as Krishnamurti did not have the kindest things to say about Lynch's beloved Transcendental Meditation organization.

I think it's worth taking into account that following Twin Peaks, Frost utilized the production arm they'd set up at Lynch/Frost to make the anthology documentary series American Chronicles, and the comedy he & Lynch both worked on, On the Air. With the clout they have now, perhaps the next thing they use that banner on will be something we would have never expected in terms of intent & tone.

Are we not going to talk about how Lynch just put up a new short that features golden orbs, Judy facial features and frog moths coming out of an egg?

That's not new actually. Around 50% of the shorts he's been posting are old, either from his old paysite or even obscurer places, such as this one. It's from 2010's short film anthology 42 One Dream Rush, which is notable for also having a Harmony Korine short. Prior to when Lynch posted it, you could only see it in the film in a somewhat dubiously sourced avi file through torrenting, as it was never released on DVD or streaming. This version, like some of the other old material, is in way better quality than prior.

Thanks for clearing that up, otherwise it could have been a very promising development.

What's up with the jar?

So far the NBA and NHL seem to be having success with their isolation bubbles. This probably will be the most successful model for resuming film/television production before a vaccine. It's hardly ideal as all cast and crew would have to be sequestered away from their families for the duration of the production, but there will be no ideal solutions for a while.

With enough $$$$ they could do a bubble.

On a Lynch production, those people don't get paid enough to agree to a bubble. It's different when people are making multimillion dollar salaries.

That's true only if they weren't paid a lot like last time. But with enough money they could do a bubble. Money is probably the most important thing to getting more Twin Peaks. Also, the past has shown us that most actors/crew will take less pay to be in a Lynch production. Sounds like a cool bubble to be in.

I sure hope we get some Twin Peaks news of new material on the horizon. That would really brighten things up during this covid gloom.

Well for one thing, in these sports bubbles there's a ton of people who are not multi million dollar athletes. There are television production crews who I imagine make salaries similar to film production crews. And that's not to mention food service workers, the hotel staff housing the sports staff, etc.

People are not monolithic. Some would agree, some would not. They'd just have to crew with people who agree. The fact of the matter is, if bubbles are the only way film productions resume, people could be faced with the choice of not working at all or working in a bubble.

Also the whole point of the bubble is safety, which should be an incentive to work in a bubble. In an out of control pandemic being inside one of these bubbles with regulation and testing is one of the safest places to be. Any film production that resumes before the pandemic is under control, if they are not taking extreme measures like an isolation bubble, is not going to be safe. So I'd question the logic of money being the only motivating factor people can have for working in a bubble.

I agree though that this will increase production costs and may price out a Lynch production. I'm not just talking about a Lynch production, but film and television production as a whole. It's definitely bad news for any lower budget productions, but that's how it goes... film and television production is hardly the only field that the pandemic has effected this way. Most people are being forced back to work in unsafe conditions. The main reason this is not likely to happen with film and television production is because of the high priced talent in front of the camera. Sad, but that's the way things are.

I don't recall jars featuring in other Lynch productions - maybe others remember...? But in this instance, it only makes me think of SCORCHED ENGINE OIL. Clearly Lynch knows the fans will associate it with that.
