He hasn't made an actual film since 2006 ("Inland Empire"). Only commercials
and short, 10-minute weird "auteur" films for festivals and the like. I don't
think he has it in him to make a whole film any more, and is using his
activities on behalf of the DLF to cover the fact that he has lost whatever
creativity he once had.
If he actually goes through with making another version of "Twin Peaks" for
TV, my bet is that he will pose as "creator" by writing the first draft of a
few scripts and having others do all the rest, and do the same with direction
-- he'll direct at most one or two episodes.
I'd like top see him make another real shocker like Blue Velvet but I bet he
wouldn't dare as everyone in the TMO would be upset by it. TM teachers I know
have enough trouble justifying his early work to meditators when they get
curious and watch something like Wild at Heart to see what the movement's chief
proselytiser does with the deep fish he catches.
I think it would be a creative act to do something really "out there", that's
what art is all about - freedom from nostalgia and exploring potentials. Just
rehashing his tired surrealism is a stagnant act and definitely not creation.

Yet another? The only way this would be an interesting bit of news is if their
career had markedly improved after they had learned.
And it isn't like like the ones that do meditate are the best in Hollywood, I
think Clint Eastwood is the most overrated actor/director imaginable. I don't
know how he gets away with it. I thought his last big movie I saw Billion
Dollar Baby was a joke, just a string of very tired and manipulative cliches
masquerading as a relatable drama.
But it's his other movies that should worry the TMO, if they want to hold him
up as a good example they should consider the amoral stories he likes to
involve himself in. In his many movies he's been a rapist who wins women over
with violence, a self-appointed executioner with no interest in justice but
worst of all was his Mystic River which he directed.
Am I alone in thinking the subtext of that movie was deeply sinister? The
characters in that movie actually pin the blame for a vigilante murder on a
friend of theirs who'd had a nervous breakdown because he was abused as a
child, and that is apparently OK because "he's already damaged and his life is
crap". Talk about shit morals, I was actually shocked when I saw it. Is this
some sort of frontier justice that Republican Americans relate to but anyone
with a soul finds abhorent?
If so, where is Clint's soul after all these years of meditating?
Go ahead and make my day Clint. Stop making shit movies!
