From the TV Guide's "TV News Update":

'More of Laura in "Twin" Film'
The new "Peaks" is a prequel. That's the early word from the set of the
big-screen "Twin Peaks" project, reportedly a look at the seven days
leading up to Laura Palmer's death.

This time around, Laura (actress Sheryl Lee) will be the main character,
not FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan). MacLachlan had initially
refused to take part in the project, which began filming in early
September in Seattle. But the actor's longstanding relationship with
director David Lynch induced him to do the movie. Officially called
"Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," the feature reunites cast members
Joan Chen, Frank Silva, Ray Wise, Peggy Lipton, Michael Ontkean,
Everett McGill, Grace Zabriske, Dana Ashbrook, and James Marshall.
New additions include: Chris Isaak, Harry Dean Stanton and David Bowie.
Among the major absentees will be Sherilyn Fenn.

With all these actors, however, the film, intended for 1992 release,
is still not guaranteed a major American release. So far, Spelling
International is handling foreign sales, but no domestic distributor
has yet been found.
