These have been eventful
times for fans of writer/director David Lynch and Twin Peaks. After news got
out that Showtime was on the verge of reviving the show with the original cast,
and Lynch back at the helm, now it seems that things aren't as simple as that.
Lynch, who co-created
the show with Mark Frost has announced via Twitter that he won't be back to
helm the third season of the series due to budget issues, and that unlike
recent rumors, Showtime did not pull the plug on the series.
Dear Twitter Friends, Showtime did not pull the plug on Twin Peaks.

After 1 year and 4 months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done.

This weekend I started to call actors to let them know I would not be directing. Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime.

I love the world of Twin Peaks and wish things could have worked out differently.

Meanwhile Showtime as issued a response to Lynch's public revelations.
We were saddened to
read David Lynch’s statement today since we believed we were working towards
solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. SHOWTIME
also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can
bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David
Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.
A Lynch-less Twin
Peaks is like a Firefly without out Nathan Fillion. The director is as part of
the series mythos as Special Agent Dale Cooper, or Donna, so it will be
interesting to see not only how things play out, but also who the network chooses
to "replace" the director.
