I haven't come across anything either. Altho, in a recent interview posted on Wired.com, Lynch mentions that the Pilot episode is caught in legal limbo and doesn't know who owns it exactly. That doesn't sound good.justeleblanc wrote:This doesn't make any sense. Why would Paramount now only release Season 2 when Season 1 is still out of print? Has anyone been following this closer than I have? I can't seem to find any confirmation that a "Complete Series" will be released anywhere online.

ST: Speaking of, when is the DVD for season two of Twin Peaks coming out? It's been forever since the first box set dropped.
Lynch: I think we're going to do the 5.1 mix for the next season, which means we haven't done it yet, which also means that the DVD won't be coming out soon. I don't know what's going on with the pilot, but it's so absurd that the pilot hasn't been brought up. It's crazy. This is all the world of business, and I don't really know about that.
ST: Is it the same world creating problems for the DVD for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me that includes the deleted scenes that your fans have been campaigning for over the last few years?
Lynch: No, that is gently in the works.

Amazon.de is listing something called "Twin Peaks, the Complete Mystery" for release in October (no artwork or information)
Now, my guess is that the remastered pilot is going to be released as part of that (I'm sure that if it could be released in Region 1, it would have happened already. Artisan probably lost quite a bit on their Twin Peaks release because of people buying the 'Pilot' version from overseas. So I'm sure that if they could have gotten the rights, they would have.) I think, earlier in this thread, it was mentioned that Lynch has finally overseen the remastering of the pilot so we can be reasonably sure it's going to be released in some form, and October for the 'Complete Mystery' seems an awfully long wait if all Paramount is doing is repackaging Seasons 1 & 2.
Then, of course, we're talking about Paramount here, who have already been pretty unscrupulous in the way they've used the Star Trek fans and, since many Twin Peaks fans might be similarly exploitable, I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount is specifically planning the Remastered Pilot to be exclusive to the Complete Mystery (so that, after the fans have bought Season 1 and Season 2.1 and Season 2.2, they'll have to buy the whole thing again just to get the pilot (and, many of them will.))
Anyway, that's why I'm holding off on buying Season 2 until I find out exactly how the remastered pilot is being released.
btw, for those of you didn't know; although the Region 4 (and 2) releases of Season 1 already contain the pilot, it's little more than VHS quality, especially compared to the other episodes in the box-set.

They're releasing season two in two parts? Not that I disagree with the notion, as the second season is sorta like two separate seasons anyway (or maybe the first half of season two is more like the second half of season one, whereas the second half...blah blah bla-blah).
But this is the first I've heard (seen) that it will be split into two parts. Nice artwork. Looks like it may be in a slipcase design similar to Artisan's season one set.

Resetmag.com has screenshot comparisons of the new Twin Peaks transfers vs. a previous edition. Looks pretty snazzy.

Today's update of the Digital Bits' Rumor Mill has word on a possible "Complete Series" set slated for later this year.
Exactly why I sold off my Season 1 set last year.

Not exactly Twin Peaks, but I followed the link from dugpa.com to ask about a LOST HIGHWAY release and I actually got a response from Universal:
Dear 'Lost Highway' Fan,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Universal Studios Home
Entertainment. We strive to provide the highest standard in product quality
and customer care.
A multitude of factors, including contractual issues, influence the
timing and content of our DVD releases. Unfortunately, we have no
information as to when 'Lost Highway' will become available.
We appreciate your interest in this title, and we hope that you will
continue to enjoy our current and future releases.
Sincerely,
Universal Studios Home Entertainment

Crazy thing is: it's still available in Europe with the pilot episode included. Can anyone who has the European version confirm that the pilot looks and sounds as good as the rest of the season.
When the first season is finally rereleased, is it likely to look better than the edition already out there (though oop in the US)?

From what I can gather from various Lynch/Twin Peaks sites and forums, this is what will be getting released:
The Second Season in two parts in April, with limited extras such as Log Lady intros.
"The Complete Mystery" in November - both seasons, the pilot, (and some sites say FWWM) in a box with an added disc full of extras.
Plus, rumours are strong that M2K will be releasing deleted scenes from FWWM sometime soon.
R1 Lost Highway still in limbo apparently, Lynch has confirmed a transfer was prepared, but Universal have no plans to release it anytime soon.
