I'm just posting here to pimp my avatar. And yes, Twin Peaks rules like no other. I'm ending this post before I start a novel... |

I found an excellent site, with some well written essays on various parts of Twin Peaks . DO NOT go here if you haven't seen all the series and the movie. |

Hello, Lynchers! "Twin Peaks Season 2 on DVD in March? We've had several reports from Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands that Season 2 of Twin Peaks will be released in those countries on March 1, 2005. Apparently the packaging of the Season 1 sets in Holland now have a sticker on them announcing the release of Season 2 in March. And the Swedish online dvd site, gvg.se, has a listing for the dvd streeting on March 1. No other European dvd sites have any information about a new release though. But the first signs are popping up that something is on the way, at least in parts of Europe. Keep in mind that Paramount doesn't get the rights to Twin Peaks in the US back until September, so we won't see it here in America anytime before then. More details when they become available. Thanks to Niklas Pettersson and Ash for the information." |

i was thinking about twin peaks before i went to sleep last night :) how fantasticaly awesome this series was...they don't make any thing like that anymore :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Very true! Something like that would never get airtime these days. Its sad. Mulholland Drive as a TV series would have KICKED ASS, but it wasn't conventional enough to get airtime :( I bought Six Feet Under dvds yesterday. Its good TV, but its no Twin Peaks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I haven't seen any of these stickers (living in the Netherlands, I mean). just seen the season 1 sets freefalling in price rapidly. hope it is true, though. I e-mailed the Dutch contingent of Paramount about 3 or 4 months ago to ask them if they had plans to release season 2, and I was very surprised to get a straight answer - they said there were no such plans at the time. I could try mailing them again. (nothing about season 2 on the Dutch Paramount-site, btw) |

OK I think I have the latest news, from earlier this month. "Rumors from Paramount Germany Concerning Twin Peaks Season 2 on DVD I have just been informed by a contact close to Paramount Germany that IF all goes as planned, Germany will be getting Twin Peaks Season 2 split up into two installments. The first one is planned to be released in March 2005 followed by the second half to be released in June 2005. Following both releases will be a deluxe box set in September 2005. This will be the plan unless Paramount USA decides to hold back to do a worldwide release in September. While this is good news, I do have some bad news. While the DVD set will get a brand new audio transfer, unfortunately Paramount is screwing the pooch and will not be doing a new transfer on the video. In other words, according to my source, the quality of the transfer will not be done from the original negatives like they did with the Artisan Season 1 set. Sadly, when Season 2 comes to the rest of the world, they will most likely be using these same transfers. Although the quality will be better than laserdisc, it will not be the high crystal clear quality of the Season 1 set. At this point, all I have to say SHAME ON YOU PARAMOUNT for holding the negatives from Artisan and then not showing the courtesy to all the fans across the world to do the same high quality transfer that Artisan did. Of course we will buy the upcoming DVD set, but in the words of a guy named Steven, "I'm truly disappointed". Those wishing to ask that Paramount consider doing high definition transfers to match the Season 1 DVD set can send letters to the following address: Paramount Pictures Corp. Home Video and DVD Department 5555 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA 90038" |

hmm. sounds good, even if it's an old transfer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well it's a start at least. I hope they do a proper transfer though. Half assed releases suck ass. |

Funny this - I bought Twin Peaks Series One on DVD yesterday for half-price, too -- went home, watched it and was going to start exactly the same thread as Chris has here. Lucky I did a search first! I am also very impatient for series 2, as that was the one I had actually seen on TV all those years ago - used to come home from piano lessons and it would just be starting. I guess I will buy the prequel and find solace in that. |

I read some news, albeit vague, about the season 2 set a week ago, from : "Twin Peaks - It sounds like we're finally making progress! 1/10/2005 The last time TVShowsOnDVD had a Twin Peaks update was at the end of October, when we passed on Lynchnet.com's report that we're likely to see Paramount release the second season of the show in late-2005. At the time, we asked Paramount for a comment, and they simply replied that nothing was on the schedule...yet. From what we know of the Paramount official schedule, it's still Peaks-less at the moment, but that might only mean a date hasn't been chosen. New evidence has recently surfaced that this item is being worked on, and we have a Home Theater Forum reader, Mark Wilson, to thank for the heads-up on this. Extras aren't always a part of TV-on-DVD releases, but sometimes you can pretty much count on them for certain releases. Twin Peaks - Season 2 would be as close to a no-brainer for needing bonus material as you get, given the high level of fan anticipation for this title! And it looks like Paramount is delivering, with none other than Lancelot Narayan, the producer who brought supplements to such awesome Paramount releases as Once Upon a Time in the Old West and the remake of The Italian Job. Another slick new DVD in the works for Paramount is a special collector's edition of the film Event Horizon, and Narayan is also working on that release. In an online discussion at the IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase) message boards for Event Horizon, where the new DVD (tentatively scheduled for October 2005 in North America) is being discussed, Narayan made a side-remark that had to do with Twin Peaks: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"I'm currently pulling my hair out working on the Extras for Season 2 of 'Twin Peaks'. If it's at all possible, 'Peaks' fans are more exacting than Trekers [sic]! I really want everybody that buys it when it comes out to be happy. In the end, you can only do your best." We sincerely hope that our passing on and publicizing those remarks do not get Narayan in trouble, either with the studio, or with Peaks fans who might be upset at being called more exacting than Trekkers, or for that matter with Trekkers who might be upset at being called exacting (we Trekkers are, though...and we know it!). In the end, Narayan chose to make his remarks publicly, and we feel the responsibility to pass on to thousands of deperate Twin Peaks fans that there IS evidence that this release is in production right now, and that they should not despair! I think it's safe to speculate that we'll have this on store shelves before the year is over. That might just be wishful thinking on my part, but at least it's optimistic, and fans like me could use some optimism right about now. But not everything is optimistic about this project. Since our last update, there have also been rumors that the Paramount release might look inferior to the Artisan release of the first season, because the negatives will not get remastered in the same fashion that the other studio provided for. Our take on this right now is that this is unsubstantiated, and cannot be verified at this time. Consumers should feel free to politely pass on to Paramount what they want to see, but should keep in mind that the studio is aware of the high level of interest in this title, and the super-high level of scrutiny it will receive upon release. We find it hard to believe that they will fail to bring this in at their usual well-done standards. |

Only time will tell, though. And for now, Paramount isn't telling. So we can only play this rumor mill game for now, and wait for official word from the people who really really know. Once we find out, we'll be quick to pass it along. Stay tuned!" |

I've also been waiting impatiently for Garth Merenghi's Darkplace! God, you can get two series of Sorry! on DVD, so why not this fantastic show?? |

This is a bit old now but I just found it. Thought I'd update the thread. "I have just received information today that has confirmed that Paramount has decided to go with new video transfers for Twin Peaks: Season 2 DVD set. It appears that the information I had received from Paramount Germany was old information, as they had planned on releasing the Series on their own shortly after their release of Season 1 on DVD. Now that Paramount is doing a worldwide release, all territories under the Paramount branch will be using the same transfers for the Season 2 box set. Great news indeed!!! Now we'll just have to wait and see if the new transfer is up to the same quality as the Season 1 set." So there will be new transfers... hooray! Sounds like it will be a perfect boxset if all goes to plan. And just in time for my birthday aswell. |

Sorry, forgot this bit: "Leonard Krantz sends me an email today stating that Paramount will be releasing the Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD set split up into two box sets containing 4 discs each. The first to be released on September 22nd, 2005, and the second half on October 20th 2005. The set is supposed to contain new video transfers, 5.1 newly re-mastered audio, and extras to be announced. I'm looking into this rumor, but so far, it sounds pretty dead on. Eventually a US release will follow." |
||||||||
|

|

Awesome update clint. Thank you very much. Shame they're splitting htem across two boxsets. I don't see a need for that myself but it's better than not getting them at all :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought you'd be pleased :) The second season is a lot longer than the first one so I suppose its okay. I imagine they'll start selling them in a boxset boxset after a month or two... But whatever I can't wait. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I love the idea that they'll be released overhere in Europe first.. HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!! |

Oh my, that is good and I am happy, yay. |

Wahey. :( |

| |||||||||
|

get the shortfilms. now! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the dvd is too expensive. or well - the dvd isn't, but the costs for davidlynch.com to send it to you are almost exactly as much as the price of the dvd itself. and I don't want silly rips. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want that DVD so badly. I have a Lynch question: does anyone know if Mulholland Drive was shot in widescreen originally, or the 16.9 thats on the DVD? I'd like to see a widescreen release if that's how it was shot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok thanks :) I'm not too hot in this area... is 1.85:1 the usual cinematic ratio? I was wondering if it was shot differently because it was made originally for tv. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well there are lots of usual cinematic ratios: 1,66:1 , 1:1,85 , 2,35:1 (cinemascope) and i believe there is 1:1,60 or so that is closest to tv's 4:3. 1:1,85 is tv's 16:9 and Mulholland Dr. was originally shot in this format. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok thanks. I think it was the cinemascope one I was hoping for. Ah well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll be ordering this up as soon as I see it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah same here. Ive watched the first season to death, and Ive only seen the second season once (just to see what happens) but it was poor rips with Swedish subtitles. I cant wait to see the Red Room of the final episode in all its lush colourful DVD glory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been holding out trying to avoid reading about what happens so I can enjoy it in lovely DVD. After the first season I don't think I could enjoy it at a lower quality. |
||||||||
|

Also, there is hope for Fire Walk With Me to be realesed on DVD in Europe later this year with 17 (or more) deleted scenes (including the great scenes with David Bowie as Philip Jeffreys "lost in time" in Buenos Aires !). So, guys - if you wanna help this thing happen - please e-mail MK2. The french company that owns the copyrights for this movie in EU. The origibal script is wicked and has a lot of material that probably was shot but have not been used because producers did not agree (originally first director's cut of TPFWWM was about 5 hours long). original script |
||||||||
|
|

Fan fucking tastic. |
||||||||

yeah :) write an e-mail to mk2 :) there is a tutorial on |

|
- how to write a FRENCH LETTER to mk2 ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
already mailed MK2 over a year ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, me too. Lynch was asked about possibility of realising deleted scenes, edited in a kind of "extra feature" for DVD. He said: "I would do it for sentimental reasons" (because his friend Jack Nance was killed after they shot "Lost Highway" and he played in some of these scenes in FWWM and it would be kind of tribute to him). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These are scenes that might be appear as extra feature on DVD: Fight scene between Chester Desmond and Sheriff Cable Shelly, Norma, Ed, Nadine, Laura, and Heidi in the RR Diner Sheriff Harry Truman Singing to Josie Packard Johnny Horne's Birthday Party Extended Phillip Jeffries Scenes in Buenos Aires Major Briggs reading from the Bible to Mrs. Briggs Doc Hayward performing magic tricks for Laura and Donna Laura Visiting Dr. Jacoby Sherrif Truman, Andy, Lucy, and Hawk at the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Station Pete and Ed at Big Ed's Gas Farm the Palmer Family Speaking in Norwegian Big Ed watched Nadine Skin a Deer (ala Industrial Symphony) Chet and Sam talk to Irene outside of Haps Cooper and Stanley in Sam Stanley's apartment Laura meets Ben for Drugs Laura and Sarah share a cigarette Buck, Tommy, Laura, and Donna do Drugs and make out on the way to Partyland the Log Lady Howling at the moon/her tattoo turns beet red the One Armed Man extinguishes the 12 candles Teresa Blackmails Leland Golf balls at the Fat Trout Trailer Scenes taking place after the final episode of the series that involve Agent Cooper and Annie Blackburn An off screen appearance by Cooper's secretary, Diane also reported scenes unscripted of: Dell Mibbler and Pete Martell arguing over 2x4's An Extended Truly Lynchian Scene Above the Convenience Store Phillip Jeffries in the Black Lodge a Scene that relates to Ronnie Rocket Big Ed and Norma in Big Ed's Truck. So people! If you wanna see this stuff |

Oooh... the first part of this link has been posted before, but check out this new nugget: British production company Phoenixmedia is believed to have sparked the planned Twin Peaks reunion, having been working on a new 'Twin Peaks' prequel, which will be titled 'With A Thousand Angels'. They have however so far failed to get permission to go ahead from director and co-creator David Lynch. :-S |
