Back in 1999 the New Yorker did a great piece on Lynch's failed attempts to get Mulholland Drive developed as a TV show. The article was written before he turned it into a movie. It's a really fascinating look at Lynch's process, the difficulty of dealing with TV networks (especially if you are an iconoclast like David Lynch), and more. I remember reading the article when it came out and, as a huge Twin Peaks fan, being very sad he was not getting to make another TV show. However, since he did manage to turn it into a brilliant movie, I guess things turned out fine in the end... http://www.lynchnet.com/mdrive/newyorker.html Original source (paywall): http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1999/09/06/creative-differences Also, I really like Fire Walk With Me as well, and I think the best way to approach it is as a David Lynch movie and not as a Twin Peaks movie. It doesn't do a particularly good job of wrapping up plots from the show, many of the great characters from the series get little or no screen time, and even the town itself seems to be not all that important. But as a delivery system for Lynch's weirdness it's just great.
