David Lynch's Unproduced Scripts to Be Published by Family
5 Feb
Summary
- Lynch's children plan to publish his unproduced 'Unrecorded Night' scripts.
- The scripts were for a miniseries that was shut down by COVID-19.
- The family aims to share Lynch's work and prevent unauthorized versions.
David Lynch's children are preparing to publish the scripts for his unproduced miniseries, "Unrecorded Night." This decision comes after the project was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Producer Sabrina Sutherland mentioned that Lynch was rewriting the script until his passing and that they were close to meeting with Netflix.
The family's goal is to share Lynch's creative output officially, thereby preventing unauthorized versions from circulating. "Unrecorded Night" was intended to be a substantial project, with an estimated 20 to 25 episodes, and was expected to fit within Lynch's "L.A. canon," blending mystery and Old Hollywood themes. Actors like Naomi Watts, Laura Dern, and Kyle MacLachlan were reportedly considered for roles.
In related news, a collection of David Lynch's scripts, including "Ronnie Rocket," was sold at auction last year for $150,000. The "Unrecorded Night" scripts represent another significant piece of the filmmaker's unfulfilled artistic vision, now to be brought to the public by his family.
