Age of The Nerd
(AOTN) Slice us up some pie and get the coffee brewing! It has been revealed that Twin Peaks will be headed to San Diego Comic Con for the very first time and that is darn good news to us! A Hall H panel has been set for the series on Friday, July 21 at 2:45pm.
It has been reported that several cast members will be attendance for the panel, however the full list of those planning to participate has not yet been revealed. We can definitely say with some level of certainty that our beloved Kyle MacLachlan will be making an appearance, however whether or not series creator David Lynch will be gracing the Hall H stage still remains a mystery. How fitting!
The cast and crew have been mum regarding Showtime’s revival of the hit series, however it is receiving rave reviews. Lynch is never one to go out of his way to appear in the public eye, so perhaps we are more likely to see co-creator Mark Frost making is way to SDCC. The cast is over 200 people deep for the “Twin Peaks” revival, so it would definitely be impossible for everyone to attend. For now we are just going to have to sit back and wait for Showtime to fill us in on some additional information, but we are definitely thrilled to learn that the series will finally be making a well-earned appearance at this year’s convention.
Update: It was been revealed that the Twin Peak Hall H panel will be moderated by the Emmy-nominated Damon Lindelof and the panel of cast members will include Kyle MacLachlan, Tim Roth, Dana Ashbrook, Kimmy Robertson, Everett McGill, Matthew Lillard, James Marshall, Don Murray and Naomi Watts. Immediately following the panel, select cast members will be available for an autograph signing at the Entertainment Earth Booth (#2343). That same night at 10 p.m. PT in Room 6A, Showtime will host an exclusive first-look screening of Part 11 of “Twin Peaks”, ahead of its Showtime debut on Sunday, July 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The screening is available exclusively to Comic-Con badge holders on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In collaboration with Entertainment Earth and Funko, Showtime will give fans access to “Twin Peaks” merchandise available for purchase including the Agent Cooper Bobble Head, Welcome to Twin Peaks Sign Monitor Mate Bobble and a Funko Pop! Two-Pack of Agent Cooper & Laura Palmer.
Directed entirely by David Lynch, the new SHOWTIME 18-part limited event series picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned when their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered. TWIN PEAKS is written and executive produced by series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, and is executive produced by Sabrina S. Sutherland.
