Inland Empire
 

I'm excited. I really don't know too much about it yet but I can't wait.

I'm pretty psyched. They were playing Blue Velvet at a local theater for the 20th anniversary, and it started April 14th for what was noted as "one week only", so I assumed that meant Fri---->Fri. But it was actually just 7 days, so Fri---->Thur. Last friday was the only day I could go, but it was done by then. So I was pretty bummed out.

What you guys talking about...

New David Lynch movie with Laura Dern and Justin Theroux premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.

Any info on release dates yet? I'm a big Lynch fan...Waiting for Season 2 of Twin Peaks on DVD and Lost Highway on DVD.

Okay. I was confused there is a place in California called the Inland Empire...

The movie is about that place.

As far as I know this is the latest...

More Inland Empire News

Cineuropa.org has an update on the latest with Inland Empire. According to the article, Lynch is back in Poland for filming, and the film is still scheduled to premiere at Cannes. Thanks to b/a for the link. Here's the full text:
Shooting – Pologne
Lynch at Lódz
David Lynch arrived in Poland to complete filming on Inland Empire, his new film whose screenplay is still shrouded in secret. The title does not give much away – referring to the four neighbourhoods of Los Angeles close to the Californian desert. "It’s the story of a woman in deep trouble. The story also has a hidden mystery, that’s all I will say on the subject," declared David Lynch with regard to his film.
The first visit by Lynch to Poland was in 2000 when the director was invited to the Camerimage festival at Lódz. His fascination since then for this town, headquarters of the famous film school, brought him back two years later. That’s when the project began – in a little bedroom painted green, the first images were taken.
Many Polish actors are in the cast, notably Karolina Gruszka, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Leon Niemczyk, Piotr Andrzejewski. But the main roles are taken by Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Jeremy Irons, Harry Dean Santon.
This time the crew is filming in the Lódz hotels and in Manufaktura, former factories transformed into a modern commercial-cultural complex.
Production on Inland Empire was not officially announced until the last Cannes festival, by Studio Canal – one of the co-producers of the film. The Polish end of the production is being handled by Marek Zydowicz, director of the Camerimage festival, in coopération with Fundacja Tumult.
The film’s première is scheduled for the next Cannes festival. In Poland, the film will probably come out in the autumn, and Kino Swiat will be the distributor.

Edit... I just checked out the Official Selection for this year and it's not there... http://www.festival-cannes.org/index...6002#selection

I assumed naturally, but at first I didn't know if you were talking about living there, or maybe there was another place somewhere that as called the Inland Empire. It was just a bit strange.

Isn't he filming it all digitally?

According to imdb, Kyle MacLachlan is in it.
Yes, it's digital

Here's a potential scene:

I wish i lived somewhere cool where the cinemas play cool movies and such. I would love to catch any of the Lynch films on the big screen.

Yay!

What was that?

Yeah i saw that, I'm not convinced it's a scene from the movie though. But it is interesting...

It might not be, but that weirded me out, especially the part where the girl's eyes just disappear. Lucky for me I wasn't tripping, or i would have ended up like Syd Barret.
