For years, David Lynch has been trying — and failing — to make 'Ronnie Rocket.' What's the story behind this mystery project?
David Lynch is no stranger to unrealized projects. From a Marilyn Monroe biopic to a comedy about three men who used to be cows living in northern Los Angeles, the surrealist director has enough unmade films to fill an entire filmography by themselves. The reasons for their cancellations are numerous, with lack of funding being a recurring theme among them. Given Lynch’s perchance for films of a slightly more unusual nature than the typical studio affair, perhaps that should come as no surprise.
Over the next few decades Lynch would return to Ronnie Rocket after many of his projects including Dune, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, but never was it able to come to fruition. Multiple actors were considered for the film, but only two were ever officially cast: Dexter Fletcher and Michael J. Anderson , but the film’s continual delays eventually led to both dropping out.
Even Eraserhead, while released prior to Lynch writing the script for Ronnie Rocket, has a touch of familiarity about it thanks to its surrealistic tone, grim industrial aesthetic, and characters with physical deformities, raising the question of whether Ronnie Rocket could be considered a spiritual sequel to its predecessor.
