He hasn't even issued a denial, in the strict sense of the term. Not in the proactive way of issuing statements via Twitter or Sabrina. He's doing the press rounds for Inland Empire's new theatrical run and it happened to coincide with the Variety story. He was asked about it in those interviews and...

yeah, I hear ya enumbs. This past weekend, I read a whole bunch of Aftab's reviews , articles, interviews. They aren't too detailed film criticism wise, or anything too expansive journalism wise. They tend to be pretty brief pieces. At least what I saw. I listened to an interview with him on you tu...

"But there’ll be something new from somebody else. It wasn’t me, though. It isn’t me.” :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Everybody read that aloud in Gordon Cole's voice. This one is even better in Cole's voice: I have NO new film coming OUT . That's a total rumor . So there you are . It is not happenin...

I believe the Spielberg is unlikely. But one never knows. Edit: Although, Lynch knowing that somebody else has something coming could indicate it is Spielberg. Considering Lynch has no interest whatsoever in modern cinema usually this would make some sense. That’s why his harping on this “new film”...

One thing I'm trying to find precedence on (via historical case studies or via Cannes rules) is submissions under pseudonym (or someone else's name).

Oh!

What what what!

That sounds very exciting

Now that I've slammed my head into the mirror and calmed down, just want to say - I admire the optimism guys but what would Lynch gain by outright lying to EW to keep a surprise a couple of days to a couple of months away? Wouldn't it be better to say nothing, let it bubble away as a rumour, or per...

Lol - sorry but this is hilarious, especially the comment: https://twitter.com/fatecolossal/status/1513997812769374216 The irony of posting one last Wisteria post in this thread - but this struck me as funny. Did you hear me? I SAID IT STRUCK ME AS FUNNY. Jesus Christ we'd moved on from that last y...

Counterpoint: as much as I consider myself Team Optimism and really really want there to be a new Lynch film in the works, I wonder at what point the buck will stop and a denial will truly be the end of it. I mean, at a certain point the cat would have to get let out of the bag if there was a new w...

The festival declined to comment. That seems the most telling to me. If it was indeed some big mix-up or hoax I'd assume they would firmly put a stop to the rumors with a concrete denial. Especially when those (presumably) same sources did clarify Lightyear would probably be an unofficial screening...

https://deadline.com/2022/04/cannes-lightyear-disney-pixar-festival-movies-1235000520/ There has been a lot of social media speculation this past week about a new David Lynch movie potentially debuting on the Croisette. The festival declined to comment. I too don't think any artist would go to a pre...

Other than Kaleem Afta, who else is saying there is a 'surprise' film at cannes ? DL does acknowledge there is some secret surprise film at least. Yeah that's what I find most bizarre about his quote. What possible interpretations could stem from that? Films he has produced (loosely defined) are no...
