Peaking. Fans of David Lynch's eccentric and enigmatic Twin Peaks,
starved for a fix since the cult series went off the air, may have
something to look forward to: A movie version is in the works.

But before he can direct a feature about his favorite town, Lynch
has to resolve the differences between Aaron Spelling, whose company
owns the television rights to Twin Peaks, and Frances Bouygues, the
French financier who recently signed a three picture deal with the
filmmaker. Both parties apparently are interested in backing the
project. And despite the rumors about moving the scuttled series to
cable or the Fox network, new television episodes of Twin Peaks won't be
forthcoming.

well a couple comments:

I don't like the use of these words "may have" "in the works" too
ambiguous, but hey any news is good news. At least people are still
talking and thinking
about it.

can you believe this? the tv people want in on the movie deal. why? when
they think that TP is such a failure and no audience wants to watch it,
and they've said all the sh*t about the plot being stupid after WKLP,
etc. What a bunch of jerks.

I believe that the cable and Fox network references can be directly
attributed to discussions on netnews.alt.tv.twin-peaks.

what do you all think??
