12 years, 9 months ago at Aug 13 3:59 - I've been wondering a bit about this... Why there are two Twin Peaks pilots by the director David Lynch in the movies section?
www.listal.com/movie/twin-peaks-pilot
www.listal.com/movie/twin-peaks-pilot-1990
They both lead to the same IMDB page. Shouldn't they be merged somehow?
Or is it because there were two different cuts, the European pilot and the US pilot? But what I've understood only the other cut (European) was ever meant to be a movie in itself in case the series never got made so there really should be only one pilot in the movies section - the one which is meant to be viewed as a movie, the European cut.
Info:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_(Twin_Peaks)#Home_video_release
And actually even that shouldn't really be in the movies section but in TV section because it's a TV movie.
And if I'm right and that's the reason behind two Twin Peaks pilots and the other isn't removed, which is which so I can rate them?

Why it isn't listed as a tv show from IMDb
Which all really boils down to the studios wanting to make some quick cash and at the same time see how the market would respond to the idea of a tv show.

This movie was originally a pilot episode for Twin Peaks but since it was unsure whether they would create a whole series, the ending was rewritten to create an individual movie. (The major change was that it was revealed who the killer was.) This way, they could profit on it by selling it as a self-contained movie even if the full series was never made. When the series was in fact made, it became so popular that it was decided to release the movie anyway.

But okay, thanks, good to know that they should be merged.
