Subject: 'Peaks' Movie From: FURESZ@KIDS.WUSTL.EDU (TODD FURESZ) Date: 1991-07-02, 08:19 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks I found this in my AM paper today (STL Post-Dispatch). BIGGER BUDGET SET FOR 'PEAKS' MOVIE Production of a "Twin Peaks" theatrical film will begin in August, says co-excutive producer Mark Frost. The movie, fiananced through foreign syndication of the series, will have a bigger budget than the weekly episodes and will shoot more on location in the Pacific Northwest, he said late last week, adding "If the movie works, I suppose there's an opportunity to do one every couple of years, like 'Star Trek,' if that's what we want to do." While co-creator David Lynch and "Peaks" head writer Bob Engels have been working up the movie script, Frost has been in New Orleans directing his first theatrical feature, "Storyville," a political drama. In addition, Frost and Lynch have a six-episode commitment from ABC for "On The Air," a sitcom about an early-1950's live-TV show, that will go into production in early fall. So the news is finally out and it is good. I can't wait for the movie to come out (this should give us plenty to talk about now). I also believe that Miguel Ferrer (Albert) will be the star of "On The Air." Todd PS Laurie thanks for the Post Card. It was great!
