David Lynch took to social media to tease one thing for June 5.
In a cryptic put up shared on X, the micro-blogging platform previously referred to as Twitter, the filmmaker shocked his followers with a video announcement.
“Ladies and gentlemen, something is coming along…. for you to see and hear,” Lynch stated within the video posted on Memorial Day, May 25. “And it will be coming along on June 5.”
The director’s final tv sequence, Twin Peaks: The Return, wrapped in 2017 on Showtime.
Lynch didn’t point out what he was speaking about, however earlier this 12 months, he instructed Deadline that he hoped to search out backers for an animated undertaking.
Lynch started engaged on the script for Snootworld twenty years in the past with former Tim Burton collaborator Caroline Thompson, who wrote tasks together with The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and the 1991 movie The Addams Family.
“Just recently, I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this, so I presented it to Netflix in the last few months, but they rejected it,” he instructed us.
Lynch stated Snootworld is “kind of an old-fashioned story, and animation today is more about surface jokes. Old-fashioned fairytales are considered groaners: apparently, people don’t want to see them. It’s a different world now, and it’s easier to say no than to say yes.”
The Mulholland Drive director described “The Snoots” as “tiny creatures who have a ritual transition at age eight, at which time they get tinier, and they’re sent away for a year so they are protected.”
At the time, Lynch stated he hadn’t determined whether or not to direct the animated undertaking however remained open to the chance.
