The filmmaker had previously stated that Inland Empire was his last film. In a new interview, Lynch says that isn’t the case
Earlier this year, director-producer, composer and painter David Lynch reflected on the reception of his films in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. “Things changed a lot,” he said. “So many films were not doing well at the box office even though they might have been great films and the things that were doing well at the box office weren’t the things that I would want to do.”
When asked whether 2006’s feature film Inland Empire was his last, he answered, “Yes, it is.”
Fans of the filmmaker and those who’ve been waiting for a sequel to Eraserhead will be pleased to know that in an interview with Le Soir published yesterday (25 May), the creative polymath said that he won’t be quitting film. “My remarks have been misrepresented,” he explained. “I did not say I quit cinema. Simply that nobody knows what the future holds.”
He also addressed the return of Twin Peaks and whether it was planned. “In my unconscious perhaps, but certainly not consciously. In my mind, I had put an end to the series. However, I have always said that I would never stop thinking about Twin Peaks, asking myself questions about his plot and imagining what might happen to his characters.”
