THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980) | David Lynch: Absurd Encounters
Manage episode 433320079 series 2883662
ERASERHEAD’s success on the Midnight Movie circuit didn’t suddently thrust David Lynch onto Hollywood’s A-list but it did turn some heads. Some of those who were impressed by his debut feature included producer Stuart Cornfeld (THE FLY) and legendary filmmaker Mel Brooks (BLAZING SADDLES), who recruited Lynch to direct a biopic of a disfigured man in Victorian England titled THE ELEPHANT MAN.
In this episode, we’ll reveal the full story behind Lynch’s sophomore film; how (and why) he was pursued to direct a film that, on the surface, seems like a far cry from his surreal debut; and how an unknown American director traveled to England, where he’d direct some of Britain’s most well-respected actors in a film that would ultimately become his breakthrough, earning the director awards and accolades, and altering the course of his career.
Getting there wasn’t easy. In this, the third part of our series exploring the career of David Lymch, we’ll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about how David Lynch’s THE ELEPHANT MAN came to be.
