‘Twin Peaks’ cast members announce new tour
The cast of David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its premiere with a US national tour.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan), and Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran) are joining Twin Peaks: The Return executive producer Sabrina S. Sutherland for the 18-stop tour.
Twin Peaks: Conversation with the Stars will see the previous cast members “share their experiences on the series and swap behind-the-scenes stories at the ticketed events.” Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) will also appear at specific tour stops.
On October 18th, at an event that is already sold out, fans can tour the house in Everett, Washington, that was used as the infamous Palmer residence. Following this, Lee and Wise will visit the Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington, where the interiors of the Great Northern Hotel and the Martells’ home were filmed.
Though this tour will inject a new life of sorts into the series, it is perhaps not quite what Lynch had in mind when his co-collaborator teased, before the director’s death, that more would possibly come from the universe, stating, “I personally hope there will be more. As for the intention, I don’t know. I know that David has more ideas for another season, but I don’t know about Mark.”
However, Sutherland said that Lynch was made aware of this tour before his death and fully supported it. She adds: “David was very happy that we were going to have this cast tour to celebrate Twin Peaks with the fans all around the U.S. It’s sad that I won’t be able to call him each night to let him know how the show went as I had promised.“
After Lynch’s sad passing, Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan paid an emotional tribute to Lynch, writing, “David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big-budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.”
