David Lynch remained true to form in a surprise appearance to promote “Twin Peaks” Monday, managing to tantalize with rune-like pronouncements that left reporters scratching their heads.
“This word ‘expect’ is a magical thing,” the mysterious writer-director behind “Blue Velvet,” “Mulholland Drive” and other films told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, California, when asked about the new version of his fabled murder mystery “Twin Peaks” that will premiere on Showtime May 21. “People expect things and hopefully their expectations are met when they see the thing.”
Showtime decided to bring Lynch out alone to answer questions for 15 minutes, before a panel featuring “Twin Peaks” stars Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern, Madchen Amick, Robert Forster and Kimmy Robertson.
