The director’s daughter, Jennifer Lynch, said the scripts for ‚Unrecorded Night‘ could be made public soon.<\/b>
\nIt\u2019s been over a year, and fans are still grieving the monumental loss of David Lynch. But there\u2019s a spark of hope that we may get to dive into one of the legendary creator\u2019s most mysterious unrealized projects: Unrecorded Night, which was once in consideration at Netflix but was later set aside amid the pandemic and then never picked back up.
World of Reel directs us to a Reddit post attributed to Jennifer Lynch, David\u2019s daughter and a director in her own right.
\u201cUnrecorded Night scripts are likely to be published by myself and my siblings as a way to offer what could not be realized, to those who would have loved it,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI beg everyone to wait for this release and not hunt down what will likely be unauthorized versions and would soil the beautiful work Dad created. Like many millions of people, we are great fans of our father\u2019s work, and wish to see it shared and celebrated in every good way. We know there is a wanting, and we feel the need to fulfill Dad\u2019s gifts as best as possible.\u201d
A Reddit user added an additional reply, noting, \u201cSomeone asked [longtime David Lynch producer] Sabrina Sutherland the same question at the BFI Lost Highway screening last night [January 15], and she said the same thing.\u201d
This is very exciting news. Even if Unrecorded Night never made it to the screen, it feels like a fitting tribute to have Lynch\u2019s family and close collaborators in agreement on publishing the scripts. It\u2019s also bittersweet, but we\u2019ll be looking forward to reading them and imagining what could have been.<\/p>\n
