David Lynch is Oddly Secretive About His New "EMPIRE"

by | May 12, 2005 | Comments

Notoriously offbeat filmmaker David Lynch ("Mulholland Dr.") has apparently been working on his next film … for the past two years! "INLAND EMPIRE" (yes, in all caps) will star Laura Dern ("Jurassic Park"), Harry Dean Stanton ("Escape from New York"), Jeremy Irons ("Dead Ringers"), Justin Theroux ("Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle"), and a few others whom Lynch opts not to name.

StudioCanal is bankrolling the project, but the information pretty much dries up right there. Variety indicates that the film should be ready for next year’s Cannes Film Festival, while Mr. Lynch is as vague as possible: ""It’s about a woman in trouble, and it’s a mystery, and that’s about all I want to say about it."
