Haven't heard a peep about this down here in Louisiana (I love most of the 
Coen Bros. movies), but this web site said it won't be out 'till Oct.31 in 
NY & LA only.  Then in other cities in the following weeks.

>Mullholland Drive (David Lynch)

Which tied with "The Man Who Wasn't There" for Best Director at the 2001 
Cannes Film Festival.

This project was originally the pilot for a TV series on ABC which would've 
marked the return of David Lynch to TV a decade after Twin Peaks changed 
television history (not counting the brief 1992 run of On the Air). However, 
ABC decided not to pick up the series, and so the pilot was never aired.

Premise: A woman (Herring) is abandoned on Mulholland Drive, following a car 
accident, suffering from amnesia. She makes her way to an apartment where 
she meets an aspiring actress (Watts) who helps her put the pieces of her 
life, and the mystery of it all, back together. Elsewhere, other stories and 
characters weave into this ensemble piece, including a director (Theroux) 
with mobster problems, and a man whose dream comes true... (Michael J. 
Anderson plays a studio executive; Ann Miller plays the manager of the 
apartment complex).
