For the actors, that strangeness and unpredictability make for some challenging work. \u201cIn his world, you get two takes, so you want to be really good really fast,\u201d explained Matthew Lillard, who plays a new character, William Hastings.<\/p>\n
But would they ever say no to Lynch? \u201cWhen David calls, we answer the call,\u201d said McLachlan. The visionary director\u2019s reputation is such that even folks like Tim Roth, who never saw the original series, were eager to sign on for the return.<\/p>\n
Amidst all the praise at the panel was a special video message from Lynch himself, who seemed to be caught up in a series of dramatic accidents off-screen – his message was frequently interrupted by the sounds of falling elevators, crashing cars, and sundry other tragedies before cutting off into mysterious static.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s that sort of enigmatic intrigue that made TWIN PEAKS <\/em><\/a>such an underground smash and inspired numerous TV and filmmakers in the years that followed. Panel moderator Damon Lindelof is known for several popular projects but first came to prominence with LOST<\/em>, another mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a puzzle that dazzled audiences for several seasons.<\/p>\n

We never would have had that island-set drama rife with polar bears, conspiracies, and mystic prophecies if it hadn\u2019t been for the inspiring force of Lynch and TWIN PEAKS<\/em>, as Lindelof explained: \u201cI owe my entire career to this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am humbled,\u201d said Lillard in a video for fans posted on Twitter. \u201cBecause of the legendary sort of status of this cast, and working with somebody as remarkable – truly one of America\u2019s greatest artists – as David Lynch.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a fan, there\u2019s nothing better than getting confirmation that the cast and crew love the show as much as you do – and love the fans back just as much. James Marshall (James Hurley) was all smiles as he thanked the \u201c7,000 fans\u201d that packed Hall H for the panel, while producer Sabrina Sutherland warned those lucky enough to preview Episode 11 to not spoil the surprises for everyone else.<\/p>\n

The panel wasn\u2019t the only treat for fans – Entertainment Earth also had the cast for an exclusive signing at booth #2343. A lucky few got to momentarily rub elbows with McLachlan, Lillard, Marshall, Roth, Naomi Watts, and others, securing a bevy of autographs on their DVDs, and TWIN PEAKS<\/em> merchandise<\/a> while debating the merits of apple pie and damn fine coffee.<\/p>\n
If this year\u2019s SDCC proved anything, it\u2019s that true fans are diehard and even a show that ran for a mere two seasons over twenty years ago can still make crazy waves – just by being crazier than everything else.<\/p>\n
