It will be a Lynchian happy new year when "Fire Walk With Me" is released on
video on Jan. 6 (no word yet on a US laserdisc release or a director's cut)
and his new series starts on HBO on Jan. 8 (see schedule below).

I do not know if these three episodes are "pilot" episodes, or whether more
have been made or scheduled for later.  Everything I know is below.  In case
you missed the previous tidbits on the series, I've included them below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the January 1993 TV Host (cable TV guide):

HBO specials:

HOTEL ROOM - Director David Lynch creates three stories centering on a room of
the Railroad Hotel, including a guilty couple, a husband's secret, and
selfishness. (1:30)

Jan. 8 (11 PM), Jan. 14 (midnight [actually Jan. 15]), January 17 (9:30 PM),
Jan. 28 (1:45 AM)

[These times are for Eastern and Pacific time zones.]

_Details_ April 1992 (the one with Sharon Stone on the cover) has an
article about Barry Gifford, author of _Wild at Heart_ in which it 
mentions David Lynch... Gifford apparently once slammed Lynch's 
_Blue Velvet_ as "ugly...academic porn" but has not nothing "bad to say
about Lynch's screen adaptation of his novel [...]  He is presently at work
on a screenplay for a series Lynch is doing for HBO."

So--- Does anyone have more info about this HBO series?  I assume 
that _On the Air_ has already been sold to ABC and I thought that
David Lynch was planning to work on _Ronnie Rocket_ once 
_TP:Fire Walk with Me_ was done. Is this HBO thing something completely
new?

Also, I thought the comment about his latest draft of the show was
interesting:  "You won't believe this.  I just hung up with 
David Lynch and he says the draft I turned in was too outrageous. 
Can you believe that? Too outrageous for David Lynch?"

Thanks,
Rocky Giovinazzo

In the "Summer Movie Preview" issue of Entertainment Weekly (May 22),
these tidbits:

...

  "Hot Spot:  ABC's 'On The Air' isn't the only new David Lynch series
  coming to television this year.  HBO has signed a deal with the 'Twin
  Peaks' creator for an anthology series, 'The Hotel.'  Debuting next
  fall, the half-hour drama will take place in the same hotel room every
  episode, but in different years, from 1900 to the future.  Authors
  writing scripts for the show include Jay McInerny ('Brightness Falls'),
  who is toiling away on a story set in 1992."

According to the Wall St Journal, "Director David Lynch of "Twin Peaks"
fame is helping pioneer the use of a product that could be a boon to
recycling.  The product Gridcore, worod fibers molded into panels to
substitute for plywood and gypsum board in walls, furniture and other
things.  Invented by the US Dept of Agriculture, the product can be
made of recycled paper, cardboard, textiles and some plastics.
Noble Franklin, a Carlsbad, CA company has licensed the rights to the
product from the government.  The company is currently supplying
samples to Hollywood set makers as a substitute for lauan plywood,
a material mad from trees in threatened SE Asian rainforests.  One
use will be in sets for "Hotel Room," a television series directed
by Mr. Lynch that is scheduled to air next year, according to Noble
Franklin."

Apologies if this has already been posted.  M-

------------------------------------------------------- ------------ -
SAME TIME, NEXT GENERATION?

Undaunted by the mixed results of Twin Peaks and On The Air, David Lynch
is returning to TV as co-executive producer/director of an HBO series
set to air in 1993.  The three half-hour episodes of Hotel Room will be
set in a hotel room in different decades.  The 1930s installment was
written by Jay McInerney and stars Griffin Dunne; the '60s stars Harry
Dean Stanton and Glenne Headly; and the '90s stars Crispin Glover.
