David Lynch hasn't signed a contract - Is 'Twin Peaks' in trouble?
------------------------------------------------------------------
'Complications' involving contracts mean that the highly anticipated 
return of the cult favorite may not be a sure thing.

Looks like that 'Twin Peaks' reboot isn't as sure a thing as we thought.

In a series of public remarks, series creator David Lynch indicated 
that while he thinks 'it will be very special to go back into that 
world,' negotiations are still in the works for Showtime's 
resurrection of the hit cult drama, and there might be 'complications' 
preventing the show from returning, as promised by both Lynch, 
co-creator Mark Frost and Showtime.

The site Welcome to Twin Peaks has a full round-up of the rumors, 
which were born during an Australian tribute to the series this 
weekend, and followed up by this quote from Lynch from ABCNews24: 'I 
haven't returned yet and we're still working on the contract, but I 
love the world of Twin Peaks and I love those characters. And I think 
it will be very special to go back into that world.'

Showtime initially announced the return of the series last October, 
with a promise of nine new episodes, all directed by Lynch, to debut 
in early 2016 (the 25th anniversary of the show's finale). Early 2016 
might seem like a long time from now, but it's really only a year, or 
less, away -- and after five months, they still haven't signed the 
contracts.

If 'Twin Peaks' were to fall apart, it would not only be a major 
disappointment to fans, but an embarrassing blow for Showtime, which 
only in January brought original series star Kyle MacLachlan out to 
the TCA Press Tour, in character, to deliver 'a damn good cup of 
coffee' to network president David Nevins.

So it's not yet time to bet against 'Twin Peaks' happening - but maybe 
lower your expectations, or at the least prepare to wait a little 
longer.
