Either not much has changed in Twin Peaks or the owls are not what they seem, based on these shots taken on the set of the revival. 1 Shelly (Amick) and Norma (Lipton) are still working at the Double R Diner. 2 Gordon (David Lynch) and Albert (Miguel Ferrer) are still in the FBI. 3 Andy (Harry Goaz) and true love Lucy (Kimmy Robertson) are still working at the sheriff’s department. 4 So is Hawk (Michael Horse). 5 But is Denise Bryson (yep, that’s David Duchovny) still a DEA agent or practicing law in another fashion? Our theory: They’re stuck in the Black Lodge, living in a nostalgia-trap simulacrum of Twin Peaks.

because he sure ain’t spilling many beans about Showtime’s hotly anticipated Twin Peaks revival (premiering May 21). Why did he want to revisit the show after 25 years? “I love 1 the world, I love the people,” Lynch says with his pleasing nasal twang, and leaves it at that. Will there be coffee, cherry pie, or any of the other foodstuffs Twin Peaks famously fetishized? No comment. “People want to know right up until they know,” he says. “It’s really beautiful when you go into another world not knowing what you’re going to find.” For the spoiler set, this coyness might be pure garmonbozia. (That’s Peaks-speak for “pain and sorrow.”) But for others, the revival is best kept wrapped in plastic until its premiere, so they can enjoy its surprises and revelations in the context of what will surely be an unusual experience. “It’s a feature film in 18 parts,” says Lynch, who co-wrote the new show with Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost, 63, and also directed the entire thing. Each “part”—Lynch insists on the term, as opposed to “episode”—will be about an hour long. Will it resemble the serialized soap opera of the original or the fractured, abstract

Adds president of programming Gary Levine, “There’s a very compelling spine through the story, yet there are diversions, tangents, fantasy.” If the first Twin Peaks was black coffee, the second coming sounds like a fancy latte.

Yet the new Twin Peaks shouldn’t be some ordinary thing, because Twin Peaks was never ordinary TV. Made for ABC when Lynch was buzzy from the success of Blue Velvet, and the network was sucking wind and open to experiments, Twin Peaks transmogrified Velvet’s Americana- skewering small-town noir into a perpetual mystery machine wired with the director’s personality and cinematic panache. It contained multitudes, amped to the extreme. Rhapsodic teen love. Sinister supernatural horror. Absurd comedy. Meta winkiness. Simultaneously sincere and subversive, Lynch’s expressionistic melodrama often played like a parody of itself. But Twin Peaks contained that, too—in a show-within-a-show called Invitation to Love, a kinky, kooky soap. The quaint, timeless setting was a hub of postmodern lunacy and ancient evil. Twin Peaks was a misty mountain lumber town where kids dressed ’50s and grooved to mournful jazz, blues, and doo-wop. Odd- balls abounded: from Nadine (Wendy Robie), an eye-patched strongwoman fix- ated with inventing silent drape-runners, to a lady (Catherine E. Coulson) who walked around cradling a log. They called her the Log Lady. Obviously. Everyone had a secret—or 20. No one had more than teen beauty queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Her whodunit murder brought to town Agent Cooper, a suave and mystical Sherlock with the demeanor of a Boy Scout who recorded notes for a never-seen Diane via tape recorder.

LAURA D

A second-generation Oscar nominee, Laura Dern has a Hollywood career that spans decades, the biggest blockbusters, the artiest independents, TV history, cinema heaven. She met Martin Scorsese and Alfred Hitchcock when she was just a kid. (Or: They met her.) She has been a professional actress since she was old enough to pretend to be a teenager. As Big Little Lies winds down, the 50-year-old is working more than ever. Dern’s in theaters this week opposite Woody Harrelson in Wilson, adapted from Daniel Clowes’ acclaimed 2010 graphic novel. Coming soon are Twin Peaks and Star Wars: The Last Jedi,two projects she can’t talk about. But she told us about everything else.

34 EW.COM MARCH 31, 2017 For more than 35 years, the Oscar-nominated actress has blazed a singular path in Hollywood. Now, with her series Big Little Lies on HBO and her new film, Wilson, hitting theaters, the dauntless Dern joins ERN BY DARREN FRANICH @DarrenFranich EW on an adventure into her past.

( From far left ) Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern at dinner in New York and in The Wild Angels

MOM AND DAD Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern have ﬁve Oscar nominations between them—but their marriage ended when Laura was a child. “I don’t remember their intimacy, because I was 2½ or 3 when they divorced,” Dern says, looking at this photo of the couple at dinner in 1960. “So it’s really beautiful to see them. My son looks exactly like my dad here. My mom is beautiful, and by the way, looks just like Jennifer Lawrence.” The couple costarred in Roger Corman’s 1966 biker-gang movie, The Wild Angels. “I’m particularly fond of that movie, because I was conceived on that movie!” she says, laughing. “Roger Corman has made many careers. He literally made me.”

Dern ( circled ) and Ellen Burstyn FOXES Dern, then 11, pretended to be 14 when she auditioned for a small role in this Jodie Foster teen drama about Valley girls run amok. “I lied about my age, because I learned that from my parents!” she says.

We had this period of time when we were inseparable. I was not skilled at how to be a friend and keep up with everybody. It was pre–cell phones, pre-texting—and I’m horrible at all that, too! What’s an email for Julia so I can send her this picture?”

BLUE VELVET “I gave up college for Blue Velvet,” Dern says. “Thank God it was Blue Velvet!” In David Lynch’s boundary-bursting neo-noir, she’s both the angelic teen crush for Kyle MacLachlan’s sleuth and a beacon of shining innocence amid the sumptuous sadomasochistic underworld. It marked the beginning of Dern’s ongoing creative partnership with Lynch. “This is where I met my maestro, my college professor, my best male friend, my inspiration—to this day, my lifelong collaborator,” says Dern. “He is this radical inventor like no other, this Renaissance man. And within that, he’s the sweetest, most regular guy.” Julia Roberts and Dern

ELLEN, “THE PUPPY EPISODE” “Susan, I’m gay.” With that historic line, Ellen DeGeneres brought her sitcom character out of the closet—the same month she talked openly about her own sexuality, pushing Hollywood conventions in the face of right-wing backlash. “Susan” was Dern, guest-starring as the lesbian news producer who helps

How much fun are they having?” In her second Lynch collaboration, Dern and Nicolas Cage played young lovers gone supernova. “It was clear we should, in every frame, never have our hands oﬀ each other. Clearly, with my hand placement, you see that we’re committed to fully being those characters.” The result was a radical shift for young Dern. “Before this movie, I was the girl next door.

THAT TITLE ISN’T SOME TYPO OR BIT OF Berlitz gibberish. “Bokeh,” it turns out, is a semi-obscure photography term that refers to the out-of-focus areas in a picture.

Lowe on set “Afterwards I was like, ‘God, the shoot went so smoothly!’ ” says Lowe, 39. “And the producers were like, ‘Um, yeah, there were some problems—we just didn’t tell you.’ ” In the low-budget British horror film, which Lowe also wrote, the actress plays a woman named Ruth who starts killing the people she believes caused the death of her boyfriend. The twist? Ruth is acting under the instructions of her unborn child, with whom she has a tele- pathic link. “She’s smuggling this sinister force within her, but nobody suspects because she’s pregnant,” Lowe says. The actress, a veteran of the U.K. film scene, had starred in and co-written 2012’s Sightseers but was eager to jump behind the camera. “I had been trying to develop a project as a director for a long time, and it wasn’t going anywhere,” she says. “I realized, ‘Why don’t I use all this stuff— being a woman, being pregnant— that is perceived as being a handicap in the film industry?’ ” The gimmick of Lowe directing says. “So we knew that we would really unexpected,” says Lowe. a film about a woman carrying a get press—and the film being SHE’S SMUGGLING Speaking of new life: Is her psychotic fetus while pregnant good is a bonus!” THIS SINISTER FORCE baby, Della Moon, showing any ill herself was enough to get British Prevenge premiered at the WITHIN HER, effects from having “played” indie-film company Western Edge Venice Film Festival last year and BUT NOBODY SUSPECTS a psycho fetus? “Not yet,” Lowe Pictures on board. “There have garnered strong reviews when BECAUSE says. “She might be a cunning evil SHUDDER (2) been pregnant directors before, it was released in February in the genius, hiding in plain sight to but I don’t know if they’ve been U.K. “For such a tiny feature to SHE’S PREGNANT.” take over the world later, starring and directing,” Lowe have the life it’s had has been —ALICE LOWE but she’s very angelic right now.”

“JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH” 1981 “I was maybe 18, almost 19, and the punk thing had just kind of ended, but there were still a few people hanging out in the clubs in London, who were trying to play music that you could dance to a bit more that wasn’t so violent. And so this song became one of those. The video for it leaves a lot to be desired. When I look at it I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’ but that’s what videos were then—low-budget. And the little performance parts of it are kind of cool! The acting stuﬀ’s terrible, of course.” [Laughs]

GENRE Novel

REVIEW BY Leah Greenblatt @Leahbats

THE BOY SCOUTS ARE already half a relic when Hearts opens in the early 1960s—a hopelessly square vestige of the past in a world on the cusp of free love and Vietnam. But for Nel- son Doughty, small and bullied and far too uncool for his campmates, the group is a refuge, oﬀering him the moral code, structure, and father figure he craves. And the kernel of a bond he forms there with an older boy named Jonathan will echo, for better and worse, down the following decades. But- ler (Shotgun Lovesongs) captures the rites and rhythms of young manhood in intimate, clear-eyed detail, shifting nimbly between multiple perspectives, several gen- erations, and two wars overseas. If a sudden swerve into melodrama in the final pages feels oddly off- key, it’s not enough to derail the story or diminish the impact of this distinctly American tale: a potent exploration of friendship, betrayal, and all the markers of masculinity that can’t be measured by badges and trust falls.
