David Lynch hints he's made his last feature film

  • 06/05/2017

David Lynch, the director behind beguiling classic films like Wild at Heart, has suggested he won't make another feature film.

When asked if he has made his last feature film in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, he said "yes".

Lynch spoke about the making of his last film Inland Empire in 2006, and the changes in film style and audience taste over recent years.

"Things changed a lot. So many films were not doing well at the box office even though they might have been great films and the things that were doing well at the box office weren't the things that I would want to do."

The filmmaker is not revealing much about the return of one of his most famous creations - the quirky small-town thriller 90s TV series Twin Peaks - but says his love for the show's world, its characters and possibilities drew him and co-creator Mark Frost back in.

"We sat and we talked and it did happen to be not quite 25 years later," Lynch said.

"We started talking and more things started coming out and then, at a certain point, enough came out… There must not have been a lot of cons, because we did it."

After two seasons in the early 90s which ended abruptly in confounding mystery, Twin Peaks is making its highly anticipated return on May 22.

US TV network Showtime has released a teaser trailer showing the faces of the series' main characters, but giving no indication of the plotline.

Lynch says showing plot before a release "completely ruins it".

"People want to know up until the time they know, then they don't care. So, speaking for myself, I don't want to know anything before I see something.

"I want to experience it without any purification, pure." He says he wants to go into a world and let it happen.
