David Lynch Clarifies Diagnosis: ‘I Will Never Retire’


David Lynch clarified that he will 'never retire' despite his emphysema diagnosis.

The 78-year-old “Mulholland Drive” auteur told Sight & Sound magazine (via The Independent) that he cannot leave his house due to his weakened immune system. Netflix also passed on his long-gestating animated film “Snootworld,” which he co-wrote with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Addams Family” scribe Caroline Thompson. “Just recently I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this so I presented it to Netflix in the last few months but they rejected it,” Lynch, who also directed “Blue Velvet,” told in April 2024.
