Film director David Lynch on Twin Peaks and Return of the Jedi
Film director David Lynch reflects on his career following the launch of his new art exhibition at MIMA in Middlesbrough with ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson describing his influences including derelict factories, smoke, fire, oil and soot.
Lynch is best known for films like Blue Velvet and the Elephant Man (Brooksfilms production) but says alternative cinema has now reached a crisis point: "...arthouses have gone, it's a sad time for alternative cinema. The new arthouse is cable television".
Asked whether it was true he was invited to direct Return of the Jedi? 'I was asked to do it but I told George he should do it'. Any regrets? 'No'.
Now working on a new episode of his hit series Twin Peaks, Lynch revealed: "You'll see some results in a year and a half I hope".
