Some extremely interesting news at blu-ray.com about Blue Velvet! During a recent radio interview, David Lynch revealed that the deleted scenes from his 1986 masterpiece Blue Velvet, which for a long time were thought to be lost forever, had recently been found "somewhere up in Seattle." Lynch said that "hopefully" some of those scenes will end up in an upcoming Blu-ray (although he also noted that some of them "aren't worth putting back together"). It will also feature a brand-new 5.1 mix supervised by Lynch and his sound engineer Dean Hurley. As explained on the Blue Velvet special edition DVD released in 2002, the original cut of the film as assembled by Lynch had a running length of around four movies. However, his contract with producer Dino De Laurentiis obligated Lynch to deliver a two-hour movie so he had to perform extensive cuts, deleting whole scenes and subplots. During the interview, Lynch said that he had been seeking out all that deleted material, "because some of these scenes on their own would be beautiful to see again." However, he found out that De Laurentiis's company had been sold to other companies and neither the producer (who passed away in November 2010) nor anybody else knew where the unused and deleted footage was. So it is a stroke of luck that such a treasure trove has been unearthed. At the moment, Blue Velvet is still unannounced on Blu-ray in the US; it is coming out in France on February 16.  |

Great news! Saw this earlier, and was about to post it myself. I think I'll hold out for a UK/US Blu rather than going for the French release, though. |

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I've recently (ish) become a very big Lynch fan. I was hooked after Twin Peaks and have loved every other one of his films I've seen except maybe Eraserhead. Anyway, I was wandering if any of you here have the Mystery Disc in the Lime Green Box? And also if any of you have seen Hotel Room or On The Air? |

I never saw Hotel Room but I did used to have On the air on VHS. For something made around the same time and by the same team (Lynch / Frost) it was very different from Peaks. From what I remember it played like a parody of a 50's American sitcom, some funny scenes but I wasn't too enamoured by this, especially after the brilliance of Peaks but I would like to see it again, out of curiosity. My fave Lynch's are Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, both tied in first place. |

I got a hold of the mystery disc, it has some shorts and wild at heart scenes on it. I haven't watched any of them yet though. Industrial symphony no.1 is on a separate disc, so I'm gonna have to get the VHS of that, I've seen some of it on youtube and it was pretty good.  On the Air doesn't sound to bad I'll eventually get hold of the VHS's cause I can't see Lynch releasing them any time soon on DVD. Hotel Room on vhs though is really expensive though  |

Okay.Now that Lynch has been rolled out on BD and I've watched Lost Highway,would anyone care to explain what the **** was going on after the halfway mark?  I must say though,I think it was Total Film who said the first 40 minutes were a master class in terror,and they were spot on  Twin Peaks FWWM I gave up on....  I have had DUNE since the dawn of VHS,and then on DVD and will revisit it on BD. Also purchased Blue Velvet today,which I'll sit through..... Oh and I told the kids to get me Inland Empire for Father's Day....a glutton for punishment? Thing is-curiosity is getting the better of me concerning Mullholland Drive.....

 Inland Empire is a difficult one, it's to be admired as experimental film making just like Eraserhead but I don't revisit IE very often I have to say. |
