Fans were similarly crest-fallen when rumors of a new Netflix-produced show called Wisteria disappeared into thin air. Lynch, however, deep in promotion for the restoration of Inland Empire (2006) (his most recent theatrical film, already sixteen years old), denied the rumor as baseless. In early April, news of a mystery project from Lynch and Dern set to premiere at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival made headlines. A recent announcement from Variety seemed to validate these hopes. They're wondering if the 76-year-old auteur will ever make another long-form cinematic work - be it a feature film, a television series, or the mythical fourth season of Twin Peaks fans have been salivating over since the third season's mind-boggling conclusion.ĭespite little to no confirmation from the filmmaker and his collaborators, Lynch's fans - experts of expecting the unexpected - have been clinging to rumors of an upcoming project for years.

Of course, when a David Lynch fan wonders with characteristic exasperation (a mixture of coffee jitters and smoker's shakes) if the artist is making something, they are not thinking of Lynch's lamps, desks, or tables, nor even his paintings or short films. "He is never not making art," frequent collaborator Laura Dern said of Lynch in an interview with Elle.

To wonder if David Lynch is working on something is absurd - the critically acclaimed filmmaker is known to be working on something at all hours of the day, be it painting, sculpting, carpentry, photography, music, weather reports - the list goes on.
