Lynch has directed, what, 30 hours of stuff in his whole career? And he's claiming he can do 18 in a year or so? Plus what will he be by then, 70? I guess Bergman did Fanny and Alexander at a similarly advanced age, but that was just five hours. And presumably involved fewer special effects and aging prima donnas.

Nooo way. They'll split the "season" a la The Sopranos, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, surely. Or he'll delegate.

Though if the scripts are truly already written (18 hours of them?!) that at least makes things easier. Still, a lot of transcendental meditation will be required. Human potential in through the nose, universal oneness out through the mouth.

Everything about this revival has sounded insane from the start. But I guess so was everything about the vival.

It may have helped Bergman that large parts of Fanny&Alexander were filmed by Peter Schildt (Bergman was ill like everyone else). So, maybe if Lynch...no.

Disaster-scenting documentarians must be circling Lynch like sharks.

Fully doubt and fully confident this will be good. What has he been doing the last ten years?

Writing thousands of pages of Twin Peaks apparently.
