According to IMDb newssource WENN, Kyle MacLachlan is planning to bring Special Agent Dale Cooper back to life in short internet episodes.
The news piece was quite short, so there isn’t much information to be gleaned beyond what is said below:
Actor Kyle MacLachlan plans to resurrect his quirky TV drama Twin Peaks in short installments on the Internet.
The Desperate Housewives star played an FBI agent on the show between 1990 and 1991, working with legendary director David Lynch on the cult series.
The show was eventually cancelled after a decline in ratings, but returned in 1992 with a prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.
MacLachlan is desperate to reprise his role once again and hopes to utilise the web to help fulfil his ambition of a return to Twin Peaks.
He says, “I have a crazy idea to bring back Twin Peaks on the net as five minute webisodes.”
But the star admits the show’s creator, David Lynch, won’t be involved with the new version as he is too busy focusing on his initiatives to publicise meditation techniques.
I’m quite excited about this idea. I think Dale Cooper is perhaps one of the most interesting and entertaining screen characters in a long time and I adore him.
How do the rest of you feel about this?

I think I want me another round of hot coffee and cherry pie.

On the one hand, this is intriguing, but on the other hand, the fact that it’s not at all tied to Lynch and it sounds like it’s just MacLachlan himself kind of puts a curse on it. Unless it deals with how Cooper got un-posessed, I dunno. Weak tea, seems like.
That said, I would like to see more stuff in the Twin Peaks universe, but I don’t neccisarily want to see a continuation of the Twin Peaks storyline itself. I wouldn’t mind seeing the continuing adventures of people from the town in other walks and locations of life 20 years later, but I have to feel that the actual “Twin Peaks” storyline is kind of played out. Actually, I felt it was played out about half a season before the show actually ended…

I was 8 years old when that show ran – and my parents still let me watch it. I always loved that show because it felt like where I live.
And then years latter I found out Lynch has a summer cabin 30 minutes from my town and it just makes my earlier assumption seem even more dead on.
I would like to see it come back in some way.
But i would like to see David involved some how – even just as a producer.
