David Bowie Was Going to Be in “Twin Peaks: Season 3”
There’s yet another reason for us to mourn the loss of iconic musician and actor David Bowie as it seems that he was going to have a cameo appearance in season 3 of Showtime’s “Twin Peaks” revival. This news comes straight from the mouth of Harry Goaz, who is reprising his role as Deputy Andrew “Andy” Brennan, who was interviewed by Dallas News. Bowie was apparently going to reprise his role as FBI Agent Phillip Jeffries, who appeared in the prequel film Fire Walk With me.
In talking about the process of filming the third season, Goaz reveals just how secretive and paranoid the filmmakers were. “We only received our lines the morning of shooting. We didn’t even receive lines for our entire scenes, only our sides,” he explains, adding that once they were done shooting for the day, the actors would hand their scripts to an assistant who would shred them, all under the watch of a witness.
There isn’t too much more in terms of information in the interview but there are some lovely anecdotes that are certainly worth reading.
Bowie passed away on June 10th, two days after his 69th birthday. He had been fighting a long battle with cancer.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
