Writer, lawyer. I tweet a good deal about the arts, & about David Lynch / Twin Peaks. (Pic: “Gray and Gold,” John Rogers Cox.)
That angle is particularly relevant to The Return given its oneiric throughlines.
In Hurley’s case, the fact that he was the Sound/Music Supervisor is of additional salience, given the seemingly critical (if nebulous) role “sounds” play in The Return’s web of meaning.

Lynch appreciated the suggestive resonance of having creators of the film themselves appear as characters—think, e.g., Cori Glazer, Script Supervisor for Mulholland Dr., appearing as the Blue-Haired “Silencio” lady. Or Lynch as Gordon Cole, the dreamer who lives inside the dream.

Hurley added that there are “quite a number of things” he voiced in The Return, mentioning the voice of Johnny Horne’s teddy bear, but leaving the rest unspecified.
For what it’s worth, my guess is that Hurley also provides the voice for The Evolution of the Arm…

Hurley: “That’s kind of me there. And that was always a confusing plot point to me, because I’m thinking it needed to be Phillip - he’s supposedly calling Phillip Jeffries… It’s so hard sort of figuring out his stuff in general, but I feel like some of those clues are like there…”

A nugget that real Twin Peaks heads may find interesting: over the weekend at Metrograph, Dean Hurley revealed (I believe for the first time) who performs “the mysterious voice [speaking to Mr. C] on the other end of the box in the hotel room, after shooting Darya” in Part 2: him.

TP Sound/Music Supervisor Dean Hurley at Metrograph’s Twin Peaks (2017) screening: “[Mixing TP] I got a call from [David Lynch], he was just like, ‘I listened to it on my computer speakers & IT FUCKING SUCKS, WE NEED TO FIX ALL OF THIS!’ Filled w fervor, he wanted everyone to experience *the thing*”

Peter Deming on Lynch's unfinished projects: "In the time I knew him, there were half a dozen projects that almost got off the ground, & I never found out exactly why they didn’t, but I know it’s down to control. If he doesn’t get final cut, he won’t do it."

Kyle MacLachlan on his last mtg w/ David Lynch: "He was very much about the Next Thing, & trying to figure out a way to direct, but to do it remotely. And that was gonna be an option. Certainly he was not in the best of health, but he was like, We've got more work to do." www.npr.org/transcripts/...

David Foster Wallace in '96: "Dentistry seems to be a new passion for Lynch, btw—the photo on the title page of Lost Highway's script, which is of a guy with half his face normal & half unbelievably distended & ventricose & gross, was apparently plucked from a textbook on extreme dental emergencies"

David Lynch was still actively preparing UNRECORDED NIGHT when he died:
"It was probably the best thing he ever did...we were still writing up until the point he passed away. We were getting ready to go back to Netflix because he had reenvisioned some things"

On the ending of The Return:
“Initially [we] were of 2 minds…I felt going back and rescuing Laura, & then having the mystery of her death disappear from people’s memory might be an extraordinary way to bring us back to ground zero. But David…said, he has to pay a price for what he’s trying to do…”

Jennifer Lynch says David Lynch’s children “aren’t sure anyone else can direct” his unproduced work UNRECORDED NIGHT. “We are considering offering that as a published piece, so that people can sit with his ideas.” She also says Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern & Naomi Watts would have been in it.

Re the possibility of Frost continuing the Twin Peaks saga without Lynch, note (a) he merely said he’d think about it, (b) continuation could proceed via another book, like the two previous ones Frost wrote bookending The Return, & (c) both men have made TP installments sans the other

On what made Lynch special: “He was fearlessly creative in the face of anything that came his way, and he was eternally challenging himself to meet that moment and do something more than he had before; it was an ethos and way of living. He was an artist first, last and foremost.”

Had been thinking of making a post recommending BABYLON BERLIN for ANDOR fans who are capable of watching intelligent dramas about rising fascism without any wisecracking robots or space lasers.... & was thrilled to see Gilroy himself repeatedly, effusively praise BB.

ANDOR-creator Tony Gilroy on the show's biggest inspiration, BABYLON BERLIN (which I highly recommend):
"That show blew me away—how beautiful it was, how rich and complex...yet it was an amazing adventure story.... That was kind of a benchmark for me like, Man... we have to be that."
