The "Twin Peaks Princess"

I am more than excited to see Mädchen E. Amick in this movie. I will never forget her role in Twin Peaks as the waitress at the Double R Diner.

From a story point of view, the Priest comic needed simplifying and a lot less backstory to work cinematically. I think the decision to change the original "demons" into vampires was a smart one, both creatively and commercially. Vampires are obviously part of the current entertainment zeitgeist and for a reason- they strike a curious mix of fear and awe in our collective psyches.

It also appears that we won't be…
