Ever since fans of the eerie 90s series found out that the show would be getting a revival, they've waited for news about every step of the production, as the new version is set to appear in Showtime; however, things look shady now that "Twin Peaks" David Lynch will not be a part of the production.
The new "Twin Peaks" David Lynch show, set to be released in Showtime at some point of 2016, is only one in a series of nostalgia-driven revivals, including Paul Reubens' classic children's character Pee-Wee Herman, the 80s classic cartoon "Inspector Gadget" and even reportedly a version of "Full House" featuring its all grown-up cast.
The director, known for his odd explorations of the human mind and what's underneath respectability, was a major part of the original show, co-creating it with Mark Frost; so, naturally, fans are puzzled on whether there's a point to even go through "Twin Peaks" without David Lynch.
Now, according to BBC, the "Twin Peaks" with David Lynch is not in the works anymore, as the festival favorite director left the project due to money clashes, as it appears the budget for the show isn't anywhere near enough for the script to be shot accurately.
"After one year and four months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done," tweeted the director recently, making the official "Twin Peaks" David Lynch announcement.
The Guardian reports that, while Lynch won't be the one directing the series, Showtime's still going through with the project, and they even hope to bring the famous "Eraserhead" director back on board, as the new version would certainly feel odd without him.
Following the "Twin Peaks" David Lynch statement, the subscription network made a statement of its own where they said that they "continue to hold out hope" that Lynch would come back to the project, according to Business Insider.
