Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me background creation
2021-12-09 08:01
When David Lynch announced that it would co-produce "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" with the French CIBY 2000 film company, the TV series "Twin Peaks" co-produced by Lynch and Mark Frost had just been suspended for a month. Lynch said when talking about the reasons for shooting the film: "I can't let myself out of the world of "Twin Peaks". I am deeply obsessed with the protagonist Laura Dern Palmer and her inner contradiction. She looks sunny and healthy. But my heart is devastated and is on the brink of desperation. I want to see everything she had in her lifetime, and this story is far from over." This film should have been the first of three films that Lynch signed with CIBY 2000 to shoot, but Because Kyle MacLachlan, who starred in the series, refused to continue to play the role of agent Dell Cooper in the film, the filming plan nearly died. On July 11, 1991, Lynch/Frost Productions CEO Ken Scherer declared that the film would not be on the big screen. A month later, McLachlan finally changed his mind and the filming could take place.
