Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

Portland's more diverse than the surrounding environs

also not as far north as TP

of course it is, tho that is saying v little. think most of the nazis had driven in from the environs.

Bummer but I can see Robert Forster totally owning that role.

I doubt we're getting Lara Flynn Boyle back, either. Or Moira Kelly, for that matter. It's really kind of amazing that so many of the cast members from the original are still around and onboard.

yeah, ontkean coming back would have been so great tho

Ontkean weirdly showed up in The Descendants in a non-speaking role. They could have brought him back in that capacity. I would've been cool with just having him mill around in the background of scenes.

from what I read, he pretty much only agreed to do that because they were filming on his doorstep in hawaii

Ontkean supposedly was on board for the revival until just recently and even spent a ton of time trying to track down the same type of jacket he wore on the show. No idea what happened.

he couldn't find the jacket

lol

Surely Harry would be wearing a North Face fleece by now.

Why wouldn't Moira Kelly be back?

I don't know that she won't be. I'd just be (mostly pleasantly) surprised if the actors who were only in Fire Walk With Me transitioned into the new series.

I only found out about that getty thing today on a twin peaks site (I've never read the dfw piece on lynch)

Holding out hope for Agents Chester Desmond and Phillip Jeffries.

this is a bummer, but c'mon Forster's a great choice as a replacement

Yeah, Forster is a great replacement, and certainly a better actor, but that is a bummer. Harry is kind of the honest good soul of the show, and Ontkean nicely underplayed the role.

Also he's so pivotal to resolving that cliffhanger (which is the one thing I really want to see, even more than an entire new series).

maybe Bob goes into Harry and turns Harry into Robert Forster

I would prefer Forster straight-up playing Truman as opposed to a new character shoehorned into place tbh

is it like when bill pullman turns into balthazar getty

Well it is 25 years later right? I can imagine not everybody stayed in that town for 25 years.

I was happy with the ending the way it was but yeah def feel like any resolution has to include Truman which is prob why they recast rather than just write the character out

Would really have loved to see ontkean & maclachlan again tho, he's retired af if he won't come back for this. Ah well, it's not the first time a major role's been recast in twin peaks

The population of Twin Peaks is 51,201

to be clear, it is not confirmed that Forster is playing Truman:

Rumor has it that veteran actor Robert Forster has stepped in to replace Ontkean as the town’s top lawman, although it’s unclear if he will be playing Truman or a new sheriff.

xp

Also Harry was covertly the best-looking dude on the show

eh he was clearly intended as the hearthrob, that's why he got that whole stupid Josie love affair plotline

I don't know that she won't be. I'd just be (mostly pleasantly) surprised if the actors who were only in Fire Walk With Me transitioned into the new series.

my dream opening is chris issak bewitched-style popping up in the black lodge finding cooper.

haha

side note, this may be common knowledge but i only recently learned that Klaus Kinski's daughter had a daughter with Quincy Jones, and this is that daughter:

Holy wow.

Quincy got good genes.

i went to twin peaks fest 2 years ago (which was p kewl. i met mz fenn and a bunch of other cast members) so i made friends with a bunch of the "superfan" community, so a lot of my fb feed has been pictures of them just HANGING OUT by the set all day together taking selfies. it's making me irrationally angry, like wtf let the people work you don't have to be there while the thing is being filmed. i couldnt imagine just hanging out all day while john cassavetes was making a movie taking selfies. this goes into a deeper conversation about how fans of things think they own the thing they are a fan of and they are special snowflakes that should get to be there while the thing is being filmed because they are the most passionate or w/e but god it makes me mad.

I have a feeling that people who are that precious about it are bound to be huuuuugely disappointed by whatever insane thing Lynch ultimately puts out.

a deeper conversation about how fans of things think they own the thing they are a fan of and they are special snowflakes that should get to be there while the thing is being filmed because they are the most passionate

This so much, with everything.

fans of things today are basically intoxicated with access, it can be p nice but it can be v gross

Was really looking forward to more scenes with Truman and Albert Rosenfield and then thought - has Miguel Ferrer been spotted?

It just occurred to me how admirably Miguel Ferrer has avoided cashing his chips and riding his cousin's coattails to a William Mapother-esque career.

Mad respect for Ferrer that's one biography i want to read.

Guess he's in! https://twitter.com/Miguel_J_Ferrer/status/599622511588835328

it's kind of weird how no one aside from McLachlan has really been confirmed for this; if shooting started already aren't people being seen in the area? Are they hiding out in disguise? Have no actual actors shown up yet?

I hope the series starts with Donna's funeral
