We are happy to share the new Blu-Ray/DVD release of
Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) has just been officially announced and is now ready to be preordered ahead of its release on December 05, 2017. The Blu-Ray disc set will contain 6 hours of bonus content, 80 minutes of which is exclusive to the Blu-Ray release. Read more about the release and watch a clip from its bonus content below.
The video clip above is a brief excerpt from one of the special features called
Impressions: A Journey Behind the Scenes of Twin Peaks, in the chapter titled, "The Man with the Grey Elevated Hair." This is rare behind-the-scenes footage of legendary filmmaker David Lynch at work, in this case feeling adorably awkward directing his two longest acting collaborators in preparation for a love scene. Thanks to
EW and Darren Franich's original
scoop for the video excerpt.
Jason S. acted as the cameraman and frequent Lynch house guest during the making of the excellent recent documentary
David Lynch: The Art Life (2016). Jason S. now takes over documenting the behind-the-scenes journey of making
The Return. Below is a complete list of all the
Impressions chapters, which will provide a majority of the bonus content:
The Man with the Grey Elevated Hair
Tell it Martin
Two Blue Balls
The Number of Completion
Bad Binoculars
See You on the Other Side Dear Friend
Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers
A Bloody Finger in Your Mouth
The Polish Accountant
A Pot of Boiling Oil
The Blu-Ray and DVD sets' special features will also include a 3-part featurette called, "Phenomenon," in which a number of famous
Twin Peaks fans, as well as the cast and the crew, discuss the massive impact the show has had on them personally and on society culturally.
And the Blu-Ray and DVD sets will include video coverage of the San Diego Comic Con Panel for
Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). The panel took place about halfway through the series initial broadcast and was moderated by
LOST (2004-10) and
Leftovers (2014-17) showrunner Damon Lindelof.
So although both the Blu-Ray and DVD sets contained all of the previously mentioned special features, only the Blu-Ray set will include the following juicy nuggets of bonus content: Richard Beymer, who plays Ben Horne in the series, directed two exclusive Blu-Ray featurettes: 1.
Behind the Red Curtain and 2.
I Had Bad Milk in Dehradun. These featurettes will explore the complex filming techniques employed to bring the Red Room to life on screen.
And also, another apparently exclusive Blu-Ray release is the behind-the-scenes documentary
A Very Lovely Dream: One Week in Twin Peaks, directed by special features expert
Charles de Lauzirika. This unique documentary will capture what it was like for the original Twin Peaks cast to return to old, familiar locations in Snoqualmie and North Bend, Washington to bring back to life the town of Twin Peaks once again!
For those curious why I keep using the title,
Twin Peaks: The Return, to describe this recently aired 18-part
Twin Peaks experience, then you need look no further than it being the official title for it on
Amazon's and
Showtime's official streaming service. It is apparently used to differentiate it from the classic
Twin Peaks series from 26 years earlier.
I am not sure why the Blu-Ray set seems to be going out of its way to avoid using
"The Return" in its official title, but just be aware that when you hear of
Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event,
Twin Peaks: Season 3, and
Twin Peaks: The Return, all three names refer to the exact same thing.
If preordered via our
Amazon links and ads, at no additional cost to you, a small portion of the sale of
Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) goes to support
Blue Rose Epics so we can keep providing news, reviews, and analysis for free on our site. The same goes for accepting any special offers we advertise on our site, which are always handpicked by our contributors to complement our articles' contents and provide you with good deals.
