Yes, this is a TV show, not a movie. But it's really interesting news, and it deserves to be in a forum that people actually read on occasion.

Diane,
It's June 17, 2009, and I'm coming back to Twin Peaks.
How's this for a shocking piece of news: Seventeen years after Kyle MacLachlan last appeared as Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, WENN reports that the actor wants to resurrect the legendary show on the Internet. The actor says: "I have a crazy idea to bring back Twin Peaks on the net as five-minute webisodes." Should this become a reality, it will be without David Lynch, whose "focus is more on transcendental meditation now."
To be, or not to be ... I can't decide. At the very least, the idea doesn't fill me with revulsion or dread, but rather curiosity and a whole lot of questions. Would Cooper still be the same without Lynch molding him? And what of co-creator Mark Frost -- would he be involved? Even if the other quirky half is too busy meditating, Peaks webisodes are a much more worthy project than Frost's recent stints writing the Fantastic Four movies. Would these just be more tapes to Diane? Would other faces come back? Would it matter? *Spoiler Alert*
There's not many faces that could come back -- and definitely not many of the more desirable ones, unless MacLachlan is looking to dip into the Black Lodge more. Okay, should this get a little bit evil -- I'm sold. Who wouldn't want to see Bob's wicked control of Cooper, plus more Laura, Leland (Ray Wise!!), and of course, The Man From Another Place?
I'm pretty torn on this. As much as I'd love love love to see more of this fantastic world and wonderful characters...would it still work? I'm not even so concerned about Lynch not being involved - his style has changed drastically since those days anyway - but more about the characters.
Even if they could get more original cast members to return they've all aged nearly 20 years (plus, Jack Nance was killed back in '96). Would we still be interested in Audrey Horne pushing 40? What about a geriatric Sheriff Truman? Kyle MacLachlan hasn't aged too badly, but it would sure take some fancy makeup even to get him back in character.
Still...there are millions of stories left to be told in this universe. Would it be worthwhile to pick things up again, even with the necessary changes in cast + character?
I know we've got lots of fans around here...thoughts?
