'Twin Peaks' fans salivate as Lynch announces 90 minutes of deleted material
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Lynch is to release 90 minutes of deleted material for the 
special Blu-ray edition of the classic mystery drama Twin Peaks. The 
new disc, Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery - which also includes the 
spin-off feature film Fire Walk With Me - will be released on July 29.

Twin Peaks, created by Lynch and Mark Frost, was a surreal crime 
thriller set in a picturesque American town ripped apart by the murder 
of girl next door Laura Palmer, who was found dead, wrapped in plastic 
and left on a riverbank. It became an instant international hit, with 
a global marketing campaign asking the question on everybody's lips: 
'Who killed Laura Palmer?'

It starred Kyle MacLachlan as FBI special agent Dale Cooper, the 
caffeine-addicted investigator who is tasked with smoking out the 
town's murderer. 'During the last days in the life of Laura Palmer 
many things happened, which have never been seen before,' Lynch said 
in a statement announcing the new footage. 'They're here now alongside 
the new transfer of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Twin Peaks the 
television series.'

The original series ran for only two seasons and struggled to reignite 
audience interest after Lynch was pressured by the US network ABC to 
reveal Palmer's killer. It was eventually cancelled. Nevertheless, the 
show lives on as a modern television classic and one of the first 
examples of high quality cinematic style television, which paved the 
way for The Killing, Breaking Bad and others.

Rumors earlier this year suggested Lynch was set to reboot the series 
after an ad from agency Sande Alessi Casting referred to a Twin Peaks 
Promo. The call was seeking a 'hot Caucasian girl' with an 'amazing 
body and very period looking face' to play a waitress. Mark Frost 
later downplayed the casting call, saying the rumors were baseless.
