Director David Lynch ("Mulholland Drive", "Blue Velvet") has secured the rights for the US and Canada to his first digital video feature "Inland Empire" after reaching an agreement with Studio Canal.
It seems that Lynch will distribute the film himself, though how he intends to go about it is anyone's guess right now.
The move comes after Studio Canal yanked the movie from the Sitges Festival line-up. The film first screened at the New York Film Festival on Friday in the form of a three hour cut.
Apparently Studio Canal has been trying to get Lynch to cut that runtime down but the director refuses to budge.
