Re: the Carpenter series...the remote directing thing is definitely intriguing, especially hearing Von Trier has done it too. Might be a decent solution for Lynch getting up there and not as into leaving the house for a grueling marathon shoot. Although the old fuddy duddy in me agrees a lot would be lost by not tactically being on set. Not sure that would be Lynch's style but maybe after the grind that was TPTR shoot he'd more open minded to it.
But the part of the Carpenter news I find most interesting is the fact that a director of that caliber was able to direct a series basically in secret. As far as I know there were no leaks about it, nothing in production listings, it's not even listed on his imdb page yet. No cast listed, no studio listed. Maybe super hardcore fans have been poring over rumors for months but google doesn't really offer much beyond the recent news post-Carpenter announcement. Even in his recent Cahiers Du Cinema interview (same issue as Lynch) he didn't mention anything about it. That gives me a bit of hope that somebody like Lynch could direct something similarly in secret without any leaks coming out before he's ready to announce it himself.
