Notes [ ] The main cast remained unchanged for all 11 years. When the series ended in 2004, Grammer had portrayed the character of Frasier Crane for a total of 20 years, including his nine seasons on Cheers; at the time, he tied ' portrayal of on for the longest-running character on prime-time television. The record has since been surpassed in animation by the voice cast of, and in live action by 's portrayal of on the series and.

Grammer was briefly the highest paid television actor in the United States for his portrayal of Frasier, while Jane Leeves was the highest paid British actress. The main characters in Frasier selling US Treasury Bonds In addition to those of the ensemble, additional story-lines included characters from Frasier's former incarnation on Cheers, such as his ex-wife, played by, and their son Frederick, played.

Reunions [ ] Grammer had been the voice of on since 1990. In a 1997 episode (while Frasier was still in production), the character's brother,, was introduced, played by Pierce, as referenced in the episode title, '. The episode contained numerous Frasier references, including a Frasier-style version of The Simpsons theme for a transition and its iconic title card for the same thing.

Pierce returned as Cecil for the second time (the first since Frasier had concluded) alongside Grammer in the 2007 episode '. The episode introduced the brothers' father, Dr. Robert Terwilliger, who was portrayed by Mahoney. Cast member reunions also occurred on four episodes of, which featured Leeves in the main cast along with (who played Martin's girlfriend towards the end of Frasier). In the Season 2 episode 'Unseparated at Birth' and Season 3 episode 'Funeral Crashers', Mahoney guest stars as a waiter smitten with 's character.

Gilpin appears in the episode 'I Love Lucci (Part 1)', and (who played Kenny Daly) appears in 'Love Thy Neighbor' as a casting director. Hot in Cleveland was produced by, who wrote multiple episodes of Frasier. Production [ ]. See also: Creation [ ] During the 8th season of Cheers, Grammer made a deal with former Cheers producers,, and (who were moving on to produce ) that they would do a new series together once Cheers ended. Once it became clear during the 10th season that the 11th would be the last, the group began working on their next series together.

Grammer did not originally want to continue playing Frasier Crane, and Angell, Casey, and Lee did not want the new show to be compared to Cheers, which they had worked on before Wings. The three proposed that the actor play a wealthy, -like publisher who operated his business from his apartment.

The main show featured a 'street smart' Hispanic who would clash with the main character. While Grammer liked the concept, disliked it, and suggested that the best route would be to spin off the Frasier Crane character. Grammer ultimately agreed to star in a Cheers spin-off, but the producers set the new show as far from Boston as possible to prevent NBC from demanding that other characters from the old show make during its first season. After first choosing, Angell, Casey, and Lee ultimately chose Seattle as the setting. The creators did not want Frasier in private practice, which would make the show resemble. Taking from an unused idea they'd had for a Cheers episode, they conceived the idea of the psychiatrist working in a radio station surrounded by 'wacky, yet loveable' characters.

After realizing that such a setting resembled, the creators decided to emphasize Frasier's home life, which Cheers had rarely explored. Lee's thought of his own experiences with 'the relationship between an aging father and the grown-up son he never understood' and thought it would be a good theme for Frasier. Although Frasier had mentioned on Cheers that his father, a research scientist, had died, it was decided to overlook the discrepancy (which they attempted to explain in a second-season episode). One element of the original concept that was carried over was the live-in health-care provider which would be for Frasier's father. Grammer points out that very little of the Frasier Crane of Cheers carried over to Frasier, as his family history was changed, the setting, his job and even the character itself changed from its Cheers predecessor, having to be more grounded as the central character of the show so the other supporting characters could be more eccentric. Casting [ ] Martin Crane was based on creator Casey's father, who spent 34 years with the. The creators suggested to NBC that they'd like to cast someone like Mahoney, to which NBC told them if they could get Mahoney, they could hire him without auditions.

Both Grammer and the producers contacted Mahoney, with the producers flying to Chicago to show Mahoney the pilot script over dinner. Upon reading the script, Mahoney accepted. Grammer, who lost his father as a child, and the childless Mahoney immediately built a close father-son relationship. In discussing Martin's nurse, of NBC suggested she be English instead of Hispanic and suggested Leeves for the role. Grammer was initially reluctant as he thought the casting made the show resemble, but approved Leeves after a meeting and with her. Mahoney and Leeves quickly bonded over their shared English heritage; Mahoney is originally from Manchester where Leeves' character is from. The character of Niles was not part of the original concept for the show.

Frasier had told his bar friends on Cheers that he was an only child. However, Sheila Guthrie, the assistant casting director on Wings brought the producers a photo of Pierce (whom she knew from his work on ) and noted his resemblance to Grammer when he first appeared on Cheers. She recommended him should they ever want Frasier to have a brother. The creators were 'blown away' both by his resemblance to Grammer and by his acting ability. They decided to ignore Frasier's statement on Cheers and created the role for Pierce. Pierce accepted the role before realizing he hadn't read a script. Once he was given a script, he was initially concerned that his character was essentially a duplicate of Frasier, thinking that it would not work.

The first table reading of the pilot script was notable because the producers had never heard either Pierce or Mahoney read lines because they were cast without auditions. The only main role that required an audition was Roz Doyle, who was named in memory of a producer of Wings.

The producers auditioned around 300 actresses with no particular direction in mind. Women of all ethnicities were considered. Was originally cast in the role, but during rehearsals, the producers decided they needed someone who could appear more assertive in her job and take control over Frasier at KACL, and Kudrow did not fit that role. The creators quickly hired Gilpin, their second choice.

The original focus of the series was intended to be the relationship between Frasier and Martin, and it was the focus of most of the first-season episodes. Once the show began airing, Niles became a, and more focus was added to the brothers' relationship, and other plots centering on Niles, starting in the second season. The producers initially did not want to make Niles' wife Maris an because they did not want to draw parallels to Vera, 's wife on Cheers. They originally intended that she would appear after several episodes, but were enjoying writing excuses for her absence that eventually it was decided she would remain unseen, and after the increasingly eccentric characteristics ascribed to her, no real actress could portray her.

Sets and settings [ ] Frasier's apartment was designed to be ultra-modern in an eclectic style (as Frasier himself points out in the pilot). One of the show's signature elements that it became well known for was the apartment's design which included elements such as a slightly split-level design, doors with triangular wooden inlay features, numerous pieces of well-known high-end furniture pieces (such as a replica of 's sofa, and both and ) and a notable view from the terrace which was frequently complimented by visitors. The main set consisted of the open-concept living area with a sitting/TV space and dining area on the lower level and a piano exit to the terrace on the rear upper level.

The set also included the kitchen through an open archway. A small section of the building corridor and elevator doors was built, as was a powder room near the front entrance. Two corridors off the living area ostensibly led to the apartment's three bedrooms. Sets for each of these rooms were built as separate sets on an as-needed basis.

No building or apartment in Seattle really has the view from Frasier's residence. It was created so the, the most iconic landmark of Seattle, would appear more prominently. According to the Season 1 DVD bonus features, the photograph used on the set was taken from atop a cliff, possibly the ledge at, a frequent photography location. Despite this, Frasier has been said to have contributed to the emergence of an upscale urban lifestyle in 1990s Seattle, with buyers seeking properties in locations resembling that depicted in the show, in search of 'that cosmopolitan feel of Frasier'. Another of the primary sets was the radio studio at KACL from which Frasier broadcasts his show. The studio itself consists of two rooms: the broadcast booth and the control room. A section of the corridor outside of the booth was also built (visible through the windows at the back of the studio) and could be shot from the side to view the corridor itself.

The set was designed based on ABC's then-brand-new radio studios in Los Angeles which the production designer visited. Technical elements such as the microphones were regularly updated to conform with the latest technology. Although the studio set lacked a 'front' wall (the ), one was built for occasional use in episodes with certain moments shot from behind the broadcast desk, rather than in front of it as usual. The producers wanted to have a gathering place outside of home and work where the characters could meet. After a trip to Seattle, and seeing the many burgeoning coffee shops, the production designer suggested to producers that they use a coffee shop. Unlike many of the relatively modern coffee shop designs prevalent in Seattle, the production designer opted for a more warm and inviting style which would appear more established and traditional.

Stools were specifically omitted to avoid any similarity to the bar on Cheers. Several Los Angeles coffee shops were used for reference. A bookcase was added on the back wall, suggesting patrons could grab a book and read while they enjoyed their coffee. The show used three versions of the interior set depending on how much space other sets for each episode required. If there was not space for the full set, a smaller version that omitted the tables closest to the audience could be used. If there wasn't space for that set, a small back section of the back of the cafe at the top of the steps could be set up under the audience. A set was also used on occasion for the exterior patio.

Filming [ ] The cast had an unusual amount of freedom to suggest changes to the script. Grammer used an acting method he called 'requisite disrespect' and did not rehearse with the others, instead learning and rehearsing his lines once just before filming each scene in front of a live. Although effective, the system often caused panic among guest stars.

In 1996 Grammer's recurrent alcoholism led to a car accident; the cast and crew performed an that persuaded him to enter the, delaying production for a month. Only one episode, ', was filmed in Seattle. As with Cheers, most episodes were filmed on Stage 25,, or at various locations in and around Los Angeles.

The KACL callers' lines were read by anonymous actors during filming in front of a live audience, and during, the lines were replaced by celebrities, who actually phoned in their parts without having to come into the studio. The end credits of season finales show greyscale headshots of celebrities who had 'called in' that season. Numerous celebrities called in, including,,,,,,,,,, and. Some 'callers' also guest starred, such as Parsons and Linney, who played Frasier's final love interest in the last season. Credits [ ] The show's theme song, 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs', is sung by Grammer and is played over the closing credits of each episode.

Composer Bruce Miller, who had also composed for Wings, was asked to avoid explicitly mentioning any subjects related to the show such as radio or psychiatry. After Miller finished the music, lyricist Darryl Phinnesse suggested the title as they were things that were, like Frasier Crane's patients, 'mixed up'.

The lyrics indirectly refer to Crane's radio show; 'I hear the blues a-callin', for example, refers to troubled listeners who call the show. Grammer recorded several variations of the final spoken line of the theme which were rotated among for each episode. Other than season finales, a short, silent scene, often revisiting a small subplot aside from the central story of the episode, appears with the credits and song, which the actors performed without written dialogue based on the scriptwriter's suggestion. The at the start of each episode shows a white line being drawn in the shape of the Seattle skyline on a black background above the show's title.

In most episodes, once the skyline and title appear, the skyline is augmented in some way, such as windows lighting up or a helicopter lifting off. The color of the title text changed for each season (respectively: blue, red, green, purple, gold, orange, yellow, light green, light orange, silver, and metallic gold). Over the title card, one of about 25 brief musical cues evoking the closing theme is played. Relationship to Cheers [ ] With the exception of (), all the surviving main regular cast members of Cheers made appearances on Frasier, but () was the only one to become a recurring character.

Some cast members of Frasier had appeared previously in minor roles on Cheers. In the episode 'Do Not Forsake Me, O' My Postman' (1992), John Mahoney played Sy Flembeck, an over-the-hill advertising executive hired by Rebecca to write a jingle for the bar.

In it, Grammer and Mahoney exchanged a few lines. Peri Gilpin appeared in a Cheers episode titled 'Woody Gets an Election' playing a reporter who interviews Woody when he runs for office. In the eighth-season Cheers episode 'Two Girls for Every Boyd', Frasier tells (played by ) that his father, a research scientist, had died. In the Frasier season 2 episode ', when Sam meets Martin, Frasier explains that at the time, he was angry after an argument with his father on the phone. However, in ', when meeting Martin, says he remembers hearing about him. In the ninth-season episode, 'Cheerful Goodbyes' in 2002, Frasier returns to Boston to give a speech and Niles, Daphne and Martin come along to see the city. Frasier runs into (played by ) at the airport and learns that Cliff is retiring and moving to Florida.

Frasier and company attend Cliff's retirement party where Frasier reunites with the rest of the gang from Cheers (minus Sam, Woody and Rebecca), including bar regular (played by ), waitress (played by ), barflies Paul Krapence (played by ) and Phil (played by Philip Perlman) and Cliff's old post office nemesis Walt Twitchell (played by ). In the eleventh-season episode of Frasier, 'Caught in the Act', Frasier's married ex-wife, children's entertainer Nanny G, comes to town and invites him backstage for a rendezvous. Nanny G appeared on the Cheers episode 'One Hugs, The Other Doesn't' (1992) and was portrayed. In this episode of Frasier she is portrayed. She also appeared in the second episode of Season 9 of Frasier, 'Don Juan in Hell: Part 2' and was played. The set of Frasier itself was built over the set of Cheers on the same stage after it had finished filming.

The producers of Frasier made certain there were no stools in the coffee shop in order to distance it visually from the Cheers bar. Reception [ ] Critical reaction [ ] Critics and commentators broadly held Frasier in high regard. Caroline Frost said that the series overall showed a high level of wit, but noted that many critics felt that the marriage of Daphne and Niles in season ten had removed much of the show's comic tension.

Ken Tucker felt that their marriage made the series seem desperate for storylines, while Robert Bianco felt that it was symptomatic of a show that had begun to dip in quality after so much time on the air. Kelsey Grammer acknowledged the creative lull, saying that over the course of two later seasons the show 'took itself too seriously'. Commentators do, however, acknowledge that there was an improvement following the return of the writers and, although not necessarily to its earlier high standards. Writing about the first season, John O'Connor described Frasier as being a relatively unoriginal concept, but said that it was generally a 'splendid act', while Tucker thought that the second season benefited greatly from a mix of 'high and low humor'. Tucker's comment is referring to what Grammer described as a rule of the series that the show should not play down to its audience.

Kevin Cherry believes that Frasier was able to stay fresh by not making any contemporary commentary, therefore allowing the show to be politically and socially neutral. Other commentators, such as Haydn Bush disagree, believing the success of Frasier can be attributed to the comedic timing and the rapport between the characters.

Darowski and Kate Darowski praise the overall message of the series, which across eleven seasons sees several lonely, broken individuals develop warm, caring relationships. While individual episodes vary in quality, the series as a whole carries with it a definitive theme and evolution from pilot to finale. In spite of the criticisms of the later seasons, these critics were unanimous in praising at least the early seasons, with varied commentary on the series' demise ranging from believing, like Bianco, that the show had run its course to those like Dana Stevens who bemoaned the end of Frasier as the 'end of situation comedy for adults'. Critics compared the elements of the series, especially in later seasons, to older sitcom.

I was in love with the character of Laura Palmer and her contradictions: radiant on the surface but dying inside. I wanted to see her live, move and talk. I was in love with that world and I hadn't finished with it. But making the movie wasn't just to hold onto it; it seemed that there was more stuff that could be done', and that he was 'not yet finished with the material'.

Actress Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer, echoed these sentiments. 'I never got to be Laura alive, just in flashbacks; it allowed me to come full circle with the character.' According to Lynch, the movie is about 'the loneliness, shame, guilt, confusion and devastation of the victim of incest. It also dealt with the torment of the father – the war within him.'

Had been canceled only a month when announced he would be making a film with French company CIBY-2000 financing what would be the first film of a three-picture deal. But on July 11, 1991, Ken Scherer, CEO of Lynch/Frost productions, announced that the film was not going to be made because series star did not want to reprise his role of Special Agent. A month later, MacLachlan had changed his mind and the film was back on. The film was made without Twin Peaks series regulars,, and. At the time, these absences were attributed to scheduling conflicts, but in a 1995 interview, Fenn said that her real reason was that she 'was extremely disappointed in the way the second season got off track. As far as Fire Walk with Me, it was something that I chose not to be a part of.'

In a 2014 interview, however, Fenn said that it was ultimately a scheduling conflict with that prevented her from committing to the film. Fenn's character was cut from the script, was cast as Donna, and Beymer's scenes were not filmed.

In a September 2007 interview, Beymer claimed that he did not appear in any scenes shot for the film, although his character, Benjamin Horne, appeared in the script. MacLachlan's reluctance was also caused by a decline of quality in the second season of the show. He said 'David and Mark [Frost] were only around for the first season. I think we all felt a little abandoned. So I was fairly resentful when the film, Fire Walk with Me, came around.'

Although he agreed to be in the film, MacLachlan wanted a smaller role, forcing Lynch and co-writer Robert Engels to rewrite the screenplay so that Teresa Banks's murder was investigated by Agent Chester Desmond and not by Cooper as originally planned. MacLachlan ended up working only five days on the movie. Another missing figure from Twin Peaks was co-creator Mark Frost. The relationship between Lynch and Frost had become strained during the second season and after the series ended. Frost went on to direct his own film, (1992), and was unable to collaborate with Lynch on Fire Walk with Me. Had this to say about his part of the film: 'They crammed me. I did all my scenes in four or five days, because I was in rehearsals for the tour.

I was there for only a few days.' Began on September 5, 1991 in, and lasted until October of the same year, with four weeks dedicated to locations in Washington and another four weeks of interiors and additional locations in. When shooting went over schedule in, Washington, Laura's death in the train car had to be shot in Los Angeles on soundstage during the last day of shooting, October 31. Several Twin Peaks regulars filmed scenes but were cut from the final version. These actors included (Harry S. Truman), (Will Hayward), (Eileen Hayward), (Ed Hurley), (Nadine Hurley), (Pete Martell), (Jocelyn Packard), (Lucy Moran), (Andy Brennan), (Tommy 'Hawk' Hill), (Dr.

Jacoby), (Garland Briggs), and (Betty Briggs). Their scenes are among The Missing Pieces, included on the Twins Peaks Blu-ray box set. Release [ ] Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me received a reaction quite the contrary to the television series.

The film was entered into the, where it was met with almost unanimous negative reviews. There is a persistent story that the film was met with boos and hisses from the Cannes audience, though co-writer denies that this event ever happened and a contemporary news report only says there were some 'hoots and whistles' during a screening for critics and journalists. According to from the, the film was met with two extremes, one side being overall positive, while the other side being the exact opposite. Filmmaker, who was also in attendance, said in a 1992 interview, 'After I saw Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me at Cannes, David Lynch had disappeared so far up his own ass that I have no desire to see another David Lynch movie until I hear something different.

And you know, I loved him. I loved him.' Even the CIBY-2000 party at Cannes did not go well. According to Lynch, (then head of CIBY) was not well liked in France and this only added to the film's demise at the festival. After the Cannes showing, Lynch said 'It was a little bit of a sadness, [.] You'd like to have everybody there, but their characters didn't have a bearing on the life of her [Laura Palmer]'. Distributor released the film in America on August 28, 1992.

It grossed a total of 1.8 million in 691 theaters in its opening weekend and went on to gross a total of $4.2 million in North America. Despite its mixed critical and poor commercial response, Fire Walk with Me gained attention at awards time. The film was nominated for five and two, including Sheryl Lee being nominated for Best Actress.

The only awards won by the film were for 's, which won a Spirit Award, a Saturn Award and a. Critical reception [ ], which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream film critics, reported that there were 'generally unfavorable reviews', with an score of 28 based on 16 reviews. The film holds a 62% rating on Web site, with 39 of 63 critics giving the film a positive review. The site wrote of the critics' consensus: 'For better or worse, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is every bit as strange and twisted as you'd expect from David Lynch'. Most negative reviews came from American film critics. Among the negative reviews, from wrote, 'Mr. Lynch's taste for brain-dead grotesque has lost its novelty'.

Fellow Times film critic concurred, 'It's not the worst movie ever made; it just seems to be'. In his review for magazine, Todd McCarthy said, 'Laura Palmer, after all the talk, is not a very interesting or compelling character and long before the climax has become a tiresome teenager'. Gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of four, calling it, 'a morbidly joyless affair'. Magazine's wrote, 'though the movie ups the TV ante on nudity, language and violence, Lynch's control falters. But if inspiration is lacking, talent is not. Count Lynch down but never out'.

In her review for, Rita Kempley described the film as a 'perversely moving, profoundly self-indulgent prequel'. Most positive reviews came from British film critics, and later retrospective analysis. Noted that many have come to consider the film a 'masterpiece'. Among the positive reviews, from the British magazine stated: 'The film's many moments of horror [.] demonstrate just how tidy, conventional and domesticated the generic horror movie of the 1980s and 1990s has become'. Ed Gonzalez of gave the film a four out of four stars, and the magazine later listed it in their '100 Essential Films' list.

Appearing on the podcast The Cinephiliacs, filmmaker called it 'an incredible film,' 'a masterpiece,' and 'a classic example of how the critics get it wrong.' Further speaking of Fire Walk with Me, he said, 'I've never seen a movie that's been made in the last 30 years.

Haven't seen a movie in the last thirty years, in America, which so asks us to understand and be in the shoes of a person suffering so profoundly. It's a thing of beauty.' In the book Lynch on Lynch, Chris Rodley described the film as 'brilliant but excoriating', writing that 'by the time Lynch unveiled Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me in 1992, critical reaction had become hostile, and only now is the movie enjoying a degree of cautious but sympathetic critical re-evaluation. It is, undoubtedly, one of Lynch's cruellest, bleakest neighbourhood visions, and even managed to displease die-hard fans of the series. [.] In exposing the very heart of the TV series, Lynch was forced to accept that he was unlikely to return to the town of Twin Peaks again.' Novelist David Foster Wallace, three years after the film's release, wrote that the film's 'transformation of Laura from object/occasion to subject/person was actually the most morally ambitious thing a Lynch movie has ever tried to do.and it required complex and contradictory and probably impossible things from Ms.

Lee, who in my opinion deserved an Oscar just for showing up and trying.' Home media [ ] Lynch originally shot more than five hours of footage that was subsequently cut down to two hours and fourteen minutes. The footage nearly appeared on New Line Cinema's Special Edition DVD in February 2002, but was nixed over budgetary and running-time concerns.

The film was released on DVD in several other regions in the early 2000s as well, including the United Kingdom (Region 2) in 2001 and Australia (Region 4) in 2005. Most of the deleted scenes feature additional characters from the television series who ultimately did not appear in the finished film. Lynch has said that 'I had a limit on the running time of the picture. We shot many scenes that—for a regular feature—were too tangential to keep the main story progressing properly. We thought it might be good sometime to do a longer version with these other things in, because a lot of the characters that are missing in the finished movie had been filmed. They're part of the picture, they're just not necessary for the main story.' According to Lynch, had the film included these scenes, it 'wouldn't have been quite so dark.

To me it obeyed the laws of Twin Peaks. But a little bit of the goofiness had to be removed.' In 2007, DVDrama.com reported that MK2 was in final negotiations with Lynch about a new two-disc special edition that would include seventeen deleted scenes hand-picked by the director himself. It had been tentatively scheduled for release on October 17, 2007, but MK2 subsequently opted instead to re-release a bare-bones edition of Fire Walk with Me, citing a new version including the deleted scenes has been put on hold indefinitely. In November 2008, Lynch said the following regarding the deleted scenes: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is owned by a company called MK2 in France.

And I spoke to them a couple of months ago. [.] I've spoke to them several times about this. [.] I think it will happen, but maybe the financial crisis is [.] affecting that in some way. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm pretty sure there's seventeen scenes in that at least but it's been a while since we've looked into that., which has DVD distribution rights to the TV series, acquired the rights in Germany and most of the world excluding the US, UK, France and Canada. Paramount released their DVD in 2007. The DVD was a port straight from the MK2 French edition.

Fire Walk with Me was released on Blu-ray in France on November 3, 2010 by MK2. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in Australia by on February 8, 2012, marking the 20th anniversary of the film's theatrical release. The film was also released on Blu-ray on June 4, 2012 in the UK by Universal UK Home Video, although it has been reported that the release suffers from defects in the audio track.

The film has been released on Blu-ray in North America on July 29, 2014, as part of the Twin Peaks entire mystery Blu-ray collection, and contains more than 90 minutes of deleted and extended scenes from the film. The film premiered on on March 1, 2017, in honor of the series continuation. This film was released as part of, on both DVD and Blu-Ray Disc, on 17 October 2017. Legacy and sequel [ ] According to cinematographer Ron Garcia, the film was popular in Japan, in particular with women, as Martha Nochimson wrote in her book on Lynch's work, 'he surmises that the enthusiasm of the Japanese women comes from a gratification of seeing in Laura some acknowledgment of their suffering in a repressive society.'

Released under the title Twin Peaks: The Last Seven Days of Laura Palmer, it was greeted with long lines of moviegoers at theaters. In retrospect, Lynch has said, 'I feel bad that Fire Walk with Me did no business and that a lot of people hate the film. But I really like the film. But it had a lot of baggage with it. It's as free and as experimental as it could be within the dictates it had to follow.' , the film's editor, said, 'They so badly wanted it to be like the TV show, and it wasn't.

It was a David Lynch feature. And people were very angry about it.

They felt betrayed.' Sheryl Lee is very proud of the film, saying, 'I have had many people, victims of incest, approach me since the film was released, so glad that it had been made because it helped them to release a lot.' After Fire Walk with Me was released, Lynch reportedly planned two more films that would have continued and then concluded the series' narrative. But in a 2001 interview, he said that the Twin Peaks franchise is 'dead as a doornail.' In 2014, however, it was announced that the series would continue with Lynch involved.

Lynch said that Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is very important to understanding what’s coming. In 2017, the of the TV series was released. It depicts events which happen 25 years after the second season, and uses a lot of elements introduced in Fire Walk with Me. Soundtrack [ ].
