THE SKINNY: So, since CBS released the TWIN PEAKS season 2 DVD set a few months back, fans have had mixed reactions to the fact that the special features were deeply unsatisfying for many who have waited the better part of a decade for the set and the fact that the first season and the pilot are no longer in print in the US market. All of this will soon be remedied. While iF MAGAZINE was at the CBS party this evening we spoke with Madchen Amick (Shelly from TWIN PEAKS) and she told us about a definitive DVD edition that is being worked on which will have the complete series plus the pilot. Even better, this is the first DVD release where David Lynch himself is directing some of the bonus material!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iF MAGAZINE: What’s this new TWIN PEAKS DVD set you mentioned?
MADCHEN AMICK: It’s the first time that David has been involved in any of the behind the scenes stuff as far as a compilation of footage or commentary by producers and directors. They were able to put together the pilot and both series that will be released. So David directed the behind the scenes stuff.
iF: So did he have you and Dana Ashbrook work together again?
AMICK: No, he only had Kyle [Maclachlan], myself, he wanted the Log Lady [Catherine Coulson] but she couldn’t because something was going on with her family. He wanted it to be the four of us sitting around and reminiscing about the show.
iF: Has David ever talked with you about what happened to Shelly beyond the end of the series?
AMICK: No, because I know what happened to her. She stayed in the same damn place. [Laughs] She’s still chained to Leo. She’s still married to him.
iF: You don’t think Leo died?
AMICK: No, I think Leo lives forever. He’s handicapped and she’s still taking care of him.
iF: Bobby Briggs just left her?
AMICK: He comes and goes. I think they have a little thing, but she can’t quite leave her commitment to Leo.
iF: Now Bobby is just the town drunk?
AMICK: Exactly. He’s fat and drunk and bald. [Laughs]
