David Lynch has carved out a niche as one of modern film's least predictable, most unnerving directors, but when it comes to the art of self-promotion, the Eraserhead director adheres to the old motto: always be selling.
As a result, we weren't surprised to learn that Lynch is designing a Paris nightclub based on (and named after) the fictional Club Silencio from his 2001 film Mulholland Dr. In the film, the club was a Los Angeles dive bar that represented limbo or possibly the human subconscious (Naomi Watts's in particular), according to the film's devout community of online followers. The real-life club will be more sensible. In addition to a bar featuring furniture designed by Lynch, it will also house a concert hall, theater and art gallery when it opens on the Rue Montmarte in September 2011.

I wonder if Lynch will get Naomi Watts, Laura Harring...etc. to open (ribbon cutting) the club...it would be very exciting if so.....
Interesting.
