Listening to patrick stewart’s memoir Making It So and he just got to when he filmed Dune. He says that from when he first met david lynch, lynch wouldn’t speak to him or even look him in the eye. For the 6 months he worked with him, he never spoke to him directly or gave any direction beyond where to stand. When patrick asked a question, he’d answer to the group. Patrick had no idea why, and my first guess was that david developed an idea about him after watching some previous role he played and couldn’t shake it. Like when he had dinner with jon ham and elizabeth moss and called them don and peggy throughout.
When patrick finally spoke to the producer about it, he learned that he was cast in the role because david saw him play some shakespeare role where he was extra thin and had long stringy hair (wig), and when he showed up to the movie bald and fit, david knew the whole character he envisioned was gone and he never got over it lol what a maniac
A couple notes: Did Chris Carter take like 90% inspiration for Xfiles from this? I mean, even the fucking opening credits font is near identical.
Also, Cooper is one of the best TV characters of all time. Absolutely perfect in every single scene he is in. Excited to see how it turns out. Ive heard its weird as shit, but the majority of the first two episodes is pretty standard murder mystery/cop procedural fare
Everything I knkw about Twin Peaks comes from Who Shot Mr. Burns. Flaming cards, backwards talking, midgets. I havent gotten to any of that yet and feel like S3 would have been made way after that as its not even in the episode list.
It’s the one that was aired a few years ago on Showtime. Not really a season 3, more like it’s own series in the Twin Peaks universe. Called The Return
