David Lynch, Visionary Director of Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, Dies at 78

David Lynch, the writer-director whose films and TV series including Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks portrayed a seemingly bucolic America, only to reveal it as teeming with the mysterious and macabre, has died. He was 78.

Lynch’s death was announced on his Facebook page: “It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ … It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”

In August, he revealed that he was suffering from emphysema after many years of smoking and that he couldn’t leave home for fear that he would get COVID-19.

Nobody who saw Lynch’s works could mistake them for anyone else’s. Unlike other leading auteurs, he didn’t belong to a movement or fit easily into a genre; while his pictures echoed the mindset of a Luis Buñuel or a Salvador Dalí — critic Pauline Kael called him “the first populist surrealist” — and were influenced by such film noir landmarks as Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd., they were sui generis; his creations, in fact, appeared timeless, strangely disconnected from any particular era or place, which made them all the more startling and disturbing.

These were horror stories that mixed the monstrous with the mundane, that emerged from a landscape of dreams or nightmares, their happy endings doing nothing to erase the discomfort they left behind. They were as perplexing as any drawing of M.C. Escher, as haunting as any Grimms fairy tale, only far harder to decipher — which sometimes led skeptics to wonder whether even Lynch had the key to unlocking them. Few doubted the power of his vision and imagination, though naysayers questioned his logical thread.

While the filmmaker could occasionally descend into self-parody, critics’ groups included his major pictures on lists of the most important movies of the past century. In a 2012 poll of nearly 900 experts, Sight & Sound magazine ranked Mulholland Drive (2001) at No. 28 and Blue Velvet (1986) at No. 69.

There was, however, a notable discrepancy between Lynch’s international standing and his domestic reputation: none of his films is featured in the American Film Institute’s most recent ranking of the 100 greatest movies, published in 2007.

Nor was the Academy always supportive: nominated for four Oscars (as director for Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and 1980’s The Elephant Man, which also garnered him an adapted screenplay nom), Lynch was finally accorded an honorary Academy Award in 2019.

Like the only other modern American filmmaker to rank above him on the Sight & Sound list, Francis Ford Coppola (whose Apocalypse Now ranked 14th while The Godfather came in 21st), Lynch was that rarity in Hollywood: an artist who eventually turned his back on the art form he had mastered.

While he revisited his celebrated 1990-91 ABC series Twin Peaks with 2017’s disappointing Twin Peaks reboot for Showtime, his filmic output sputtered in the final decades and seemed to halt for lengthy stretches following his last feature, Inland Empire (2006).

Later in his life, Lynch drew more attention for a 17-minute short, 2017’s What Did Jack Do?, in which he played a detective interrogating a monkey, than for anything else he had done recently on film. That endeavor seemed as much a sly joke as an artistic statement.

Instead, after the panned Inland Empire, he devoted himself to his paintings (an interest that had preceded film) and two other primary endeavors: a coffee-making business and transcendental meditation, the Buddhist practice he had embraced in his late 20s.

 
Ryan Gosling in Talks to Star in Shawn Levy's New STAR WARS Film

Ryan-Gosling-and-Shawn-Levy-Split-Getty-H-2024.jpg


Ryan Gosling is headed to the great galaxy far, far away. The three-time Oscar nominee is in negotiations to topline the Star Wars feature project that will be directed by Deadpool & Wolverine filmmaker Shawn Levy.

Details on any Star Wars project are harder to acquire than plans for an orbital planet killer, and this one is no exception. Levy has been developing his Star Wars feature since 2022 and Jonathan Tropper, who collaborated with Levy on films such as This is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project, has been working on a script for over a year. Levy is also producing the feature via his 21 Laps banner, joining Star Wars stewards Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm.

It is unclear when Levy’s project is set. Star Wars stories have run the gamut of hundreds of years, detailing the goings-on of a galactic republic-turned-dictatorship-turned-rebellion. It’s also unclear if it concerns Jedis and their enemies, The Sith. It is, however, to be unconnected to the so-called Skywalker Saga, the stories centered on well-established and beloved characters Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin.

It is meant to be a standalone movie, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Lucasfilm had no comment on any impending deal or the project’s details.

Sources say the Gosling development is a late-in-the-game move for Levy’s movie schedule. The filmmaker was eyeing to direct a boy band movie set up at Paramount, which would have reunited him with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. But Gosling’s interest and involvement suddenly shifted the Star Wars project into hyperspace. If a deal makes, the project would continue to fly like the Millennium Falcon, becoming not only Levy’s next movie but also the next Star Wars movie to go into production, with cameras potentially rolling this fall. The Mandalorian and Grogu wrapped in mid-December and will be released on May 22, 2026.

Gosling’s boarding will mark a rare occasion that a Star Wars feature brings aboard an actual A-lister. The original trilogy featured up-and-comers and British veterans, turning actors Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher into household names. The prequels followed a similar model, although The Phantom Menace did bring on Liam Neeson to buttress the ranks following his Oscar nomination for Schindler’s List. The Disney era saw J.J. Abrams also introduce a crop of rising talent, even as it brought back the original stars.

In a bit of synchronicity, Gosling was name-checked for a Star Wars part back in 2013 when rumors spread online that he and Zac Efron were being eyed by Abrams for a familial part that may have eventually become Kylo Ren.

The actor, last seen starring in Universal’s Fall Guy, is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer. He recently wrapped on Project Hail Marry, another space-faring movie, which hails from Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

 


Saw this and was curious how good this director is, so I'm watching 'Barabrian' from 2022, and so far it's pretty damn good.
 


I'm out.
One of the good things about the Scream sequels (4-6) is that they never shit on the originals (1-3).
Making Stu alive when he was clearly killed off in the original.... its reminiscent of having Dr.Gordon from Saw1 be suddenly alive in Saw7/3D... which is one of the main reasons why the 7th movie completely shit on the entire series.

I'm sure it'll be a plot line that he lived, served a 30+ year sentence, released on bail and everyone suspects him to be a/the killer, and *plot twist* he actually saves everyone and kills the killers in the finale.

<LikeReally5>

I like Mathew Lillard, and wish he had a bigger career (he's actually quite underrated as an actor), and can't blame him for taking the paycheck... but this reeks of a lack of creativity and a movie series which sequels are overreliant upon the originals.

I really don't think he's alive. They cast Scott Foley and Emma Roberts is rumored to be in it as well. No way they're just having all of these killers survive.I'm wondering if it's just flashbacks or audio recordings of them. I'm guessing this one goes more podcast/true crime and they've unraveled new stuff about previous killers.

Let's hope so.
I've seen a few cast reunions of the original Scream cast from the last few years back and there were talks in the pre-productions of Scream 5&6 to have Mathew Lillard return, with Stu having survived the original and on parole after a lengthy prison sentence.

Put perhaps it'd be in a much more... less cliché... way as you theorize.

Keep in mind the horror genre is even more copy-&-paste as the superhero genre at this point, especially with series past their 4 or 5th sequels.

Scream5 was originally supposed to be the pass-the-torch entry, from Neve Campbell to Melissa Barerra and Jenna Ortega.
Even with Scream6 they brought back Courtney Cox.
And now with Scream7 Barerra and Ortega are gone and going back to Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and whomever else they can fit in from the original cast of characters to promise the fanbase a nostalgia-filled popcorn horror flick.

Courtney Cox is beginning to look like she's seen the arc of the covenant.
