Bif’s previous post where David Lynch sits on a street corner with a cow led me to look up his forthcoming film: Inland Empire.

It stars Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons and Harry Dean Stanton. Oh and ‘Laura Palmers Mum‘ seems to be in it too. There’s some other great actors in the film too… William H Macy is in it, as is Naomi Watts (or at least her voice),

The plot summary from IMDB goes as follows:

Married actress Nikki (Dern) is offered a role in a motion picture which is to be directed by Kingsley (Irons), Nikki’s co-star is called Devon (Theroux). Nikki’s role is Sue, Devon’s is Billy, but they end up winding into bed with each other. They’re calling each other the names of their characters in the movie. From here on, it is impossible to tell if Nikki is actually Nikki or Sue…

I’m a HUGE Lynch fan, and this plot summary sounds like classic Lynch - and if you’re not sure what classic Lynch is… well just watch the trailer:

No idea what the Irish release date is. I’ll be holding my breath. In the meantime I can enjoy Dumbland.
