“Twin Peaks” May Have to Premiere in 2017
Update: Peter Sarsgaard has confirmed that he will not be appearing in “Twin Peaks”.
Sad news for those who were expecting to see Showtime’s third season of “Twin Peaks” in 2016. CBS corporate chief Leslie Moonves has stated that the limited series won’t be hitting the airwaves until 2017. CBS owns Showtime, so this announcement basically comes from one of the main bosses. According to Variety, Moonves explains that the network might use it, “…as a property that will likely drive subscriptions of Showtime’s newly launched standalone broadband offering.”
The original announcement came last year and was met with an explosion of interest and excitement from fans of David Lynch, who is confirmed to be directing all episodes of the revival. The original 2016 premiere date gave Laura Palmer’s statement, “I’ll see you again in 25 years“, which is also exactly 25 years after the original series ended, a strange sense of prophetical forethought.
However, a disagreement between Lynch and Showtime surrounding the budget needed to make the new season not only a reality but something that is on the same level as the original meant that production had to be pushed back.
Filming is currently happening in Washington with Kyle MacLachlan, Balthazar Getty, Robert Knepper, Amanda Seyfried, and Jennifer Jason Leigh all confirmed to appear.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
