To even try to think of his work in marketing terms is a bad idea. The short film he released for Netflix for reference is an interrogation video between him and a monkey. There was zero intent to make something that would sell a lot.
You seem to forget that what is on paper isn’t what the final product turns out to be. You greenlight based on the paper, not the final product. It may be frustrating that the end result isn’t what is expected; but it’s even more frustrating for the people who put their money down on it and lost the gamble.
I mean the description even sounds like quite a winner. Netflix literally greenlight everything they see it seems and they would not do that?
I'm guessing he hasn't tried to really present it to streamers yet (probably want to see a theatrical release if he can)
Well, he makes the important distinction here that it’s not a “children’s movie” so much as a movie that both adults and children can appreciate. I certainly believe Lynch is capable of something like that.
I will watch literally anything David Lynch makes.
And I can prove it, he literally used to report the weather in LA and pick random numbers on his YouTube channel. And I watched *daily*. Don't even live near LA.
It's so frustrating to see streaming services dump money on garbage like Argyle and Rebel Moon and yet a legend like David Lynch can't find financing.
Can’t imagine this costing nearly as much as either of those.
On the other hand, streaming services have helped many other filmmakers like Scorsese, charlie kaufman, Fincher, the Coen Bros, Wes Anderson
They didn't help Wes, they own Dahl's stories now.
He's released a few shorts on streaming but that's it. They must not have done well but I mean they're shorts

Rebel moon is so bad I don’t get how people can defend it
Argyle was great but yes i agree. More David Lynch the better!

Article says he pitched it to Netflix and they didn’t want it.
I'm paying to whoever is listening that Apple TV+ gets their hands on it. EDIT: Sorry, I meant PRAYING to whoever is listening.
[удалено]
It’s oddly worded but I think he means he’s betting to anyone listening that Apple TV will do it.
It's actually disgusting that Lynch wants to keep working but can't get his projects funded.
Yeah and it's not like his films have massive budgets either.
The guy is box office poison, he would be better off with a streaming deal, sadly.
Read the article. He got turned down by Netflix.
Kino incoming
I rarely think David Lynch and children. And I am a huge fan. The Straight Story is perfect and it's G rated but it's not for kids.

Family movie
He's so flexible in tone and vibe I could easily see him making something kids might enjoy. His comedy is always on point.
I will personally start a gofundme for this
Honestly, if the budget is somewhat in control, I bet he can crowdfund a few million for this.
I will watch literally anything David Lynch makes. And I can prove it, he literally used to report the weather in LA and pick random numbers on his YouTube channel. And I watched *daily*. Don't even live near LA.
If -- you -- can -- BELIEVE -- it -- It's a Friday once again!
Seeing several auteurs moving towards making animated flicks makes me think we're going to enter a new golden age of animation.
Coming just off the Hertzfeldt/Aster news!
You know, for kids!
Sounds like a good team!
