Twin Peaks
First Aired in 1990
"She's dead. Wrapped in plastic."
Date: Friday, February 24:
Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer is found dead, washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic. FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called to investigate the murder of this young woman in the small town of Twin Peaks. What he doesn't know is, in town of Twin Peaks, no one is innocent.
Twin Peaks was created by TV veteran Mark Frost ("Hill Street Blues") and edgy filmmaker David Lynch (Four-Time Academy Award Nominee for The Elephant Man [2], Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr.). It was a monumental drama that aired on ABC from 1990 - 1991. The series, with a few exceptions, followed the interesting convention that one episode equaled one day in the town of Twin Peaks. This means that after 30 episodes, the series covers just slightly more than one month.
After Twin Peaks was cancelled by ABC, David Lynch went on to make the prequel. The story of the last seven days of Laura Palmer. Many of the critics/fans hated it, but the hardcore fans loved it! If you haven't heard by now, a lot of footage was cut from the film. New Line Cinema, after protracted negoations with David Lynch, declined to put the deleted scenes on their dvd. Cuurently, the French company M2K, who owns the rights to the film, is considering their own release of Fire Walk With Me, including the deleted scenes. It will cost a considerable amount of money for these scenes to be remastered, so let them know you want to see them!
