Aftab then retweeted the Variety article, acknowledging that he was indeed talking about Lynch: This kicked the Lynch rumors up a notch further and then film Twitter went into a frenzy. “According to two well-informed sources, there will even be a David Lynch feature film which has been completely off the radar and stars Laura Dern - either as a cameo or a supporting role - along with some other Lynch regulars.” The following day, Variety published an EXCLUSIVE that there was going to be a new David Lynch movie at Cannes according to “two well-informed sources” (I wasn’t one of them and neither was Aftab): Aftab had hinted to me that it was Lynch on Twitter, and I was almost hopeful that he was indeed talking about Lynch in his tweet. I then emailed a Lynch contact who responded in a cryptically Lynchian fashion to my email: “Do YOU believe there is a new David Lynch movie?”Ī confirmation was needed. some even doubt it exists!”įine, this kicked off an onslaught of guessing games, most of which came back to Lynch possibly having a new secret film ready for Cannes.

In a recently published interview, Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux refused to confirm or deny that a new David Lynch film actually existed, instead smiling coyly when the question got asked.
