The David Lynch announcements are never what they seem. Diane, 6 PM, 27 May. David Lynch has announced a new project via a cryptic video message on the social media platform X.
Wearing his trademark Wayfarer shades despite being in a very dark room, the 78-year-old said, "Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along for you to see and hear, and it will be coming along on June Five." June Fifth is henceforth known as June Five. Despite the sparse information given, Lynch fans have already begun to speculate.
The "see and hear" aspect suggests something movie or TV related, and if so - huge. But you can never be too sure when attempting to decipher a Lynchian tease: Are we getting an sequel, or a tutorial on how to build a wooden barn (again)? Aside from his (adorable) daily weather updates and number readings on YouTube, we haven't had a new creative project from David Lynch since 'Twin Peaks: The Return' in 2017, the third season of his 90s cult classic TV show about a town infiltrated with dark forces following the murder of a teenage girl. Known for his dark surrealism and ability to capture uncanny, subconscious states of mind that corrupt idealistic spaces with dark anxieties, Lynch has always stayed true to his unique creative visions, building a weird and wonderful filmography sparked by the success of in 1977.
His last movie, however, was in 2006, which stars Laura Dern as a Hollywood actress re-making a cursed film. In the eighteen years since, he's passed the time.
