Rather than Making a New Movie, David Lynch Unleashes 'Sensory Experience' on the Web

DAVIDLYNCH300.jpgApparently David Lynch could get used to this pop star/musician thing. The filmmaker announced that his next project will be a revamp of his website, davidlynch.com. From what I can deduce, it will now be something like a digital music store, though if you ask Lynch, he'll tell you it's designed to be "a secret room filled with music." More details and a dispiriting quote from Lynch about his next film project after the jump.

The new website will launch tomorrow at davidlynch.com between 1:23 p.m. and 1:38 p.m Pacific Time. Cute. As some will recall, his previous website started out strong with a daily weather report and tons of short content available for subscribers, but activity started to wane after a few years. Take it away, Lynch:

'In the beginning there was a lot of buzz, as if there were millions of bees in the hive, but because the content wasn't really updated enough, more and more bees flew off,' Mr. Lynch wrote in the e-mail exchange. 'And finally there was a real nice buzz, but it was very small as if maybe only one or two bees stayed in the nest,' he continued. 'They were very nice bees. And I hope they will come over to the new davidlynch.com.'"

The only actual information about the new website besides Lynch's characteristically vague language is that it will contain sound experiments and new music. And based on the less-vague language of the New York Times, it will probably cost money. As for anyone looking for something like, I don't know, a film, Lynch's response wasn't too encouraging.

"'Fans might start looking,' Mr. Lynch said, 'but they will need a strong telescope to see it coming.'"
