What's the toughest part of bringing a successful show like The X-Files to the big screen? I think the challenge for everybody was how do we make this satisfying for the fans, who are numerous, and for the nonfans, who are numerous also? And I sat down and I actually was talking to Téa when we were doing the film, and I had this thought, which was — the people who aren't fans of the show, they are not just not fans of the show. They are actively not fans of the show because we've been doing the show for fi ... [Continua a leggere]

TVGOer: Welcome to the TVGEN/Yahoo! Chat Auditorium. Our special guests tonight are known to fans of the X-Files as Langly, Frohike and Byers. Also known as the Lone Gunmen, the covert group of misfits who are often the source of information for Special Agents Mulder and Scully. Welcome Dean Haglund, Tom Braidwood and Bruce Harwood. Domnogin: Who wrote the "kung fu" dialogue, like when Frohike admits that Langly's "kung fu is the best" in "Unusual Suspects" (1989 Lone Gunmen encounter)? Dean Haglund: That was Vince Gilligan! Kung fu is a te ... [Continua a leggere]

HOLLYWOOD — There are a few truths Chris Carter is willing to share about The X-Files, the phenomenon he created five years ago. The series, in which special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigate mysterious occurrences, has spawned The X-Files movie that opens Friday. “Fox and Dana, as played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, are the reason the show is so popular. They are the ones who make the stories connect with the audiences,” insists Carter. “At the original auditions, I saw dozens of people but the moment David and Gillian walked in th ...

From dirt_girl: Do you feel your character and Darth Vader are kindred spirits? I hate that question. I'll tell you why I hate that question: Just as there are people who have never seen The X-Files, there are people who have never seen Star Wars! From june: Will they ever reveal your connection to Mulder? My guess is you are related in some way. I don't know whether we will ever know if we are genetically connected, we are emotionally connected. Whether or not we will find out about the biological question, I don't know. From echo2: What do you like most about your CSM role? Hey, it's a ... [Continua a leggere]

With a project like this, how do you please yourself as well as all of the fans out there? Well, you always have to please millions of people out there. It's part of the goal. But first you have to please yourself, and luckily, with this show from the very beginning, what I did was write something that pleased me, something that I wanted to do that I liked. I think that's one of the secrets to the success of the show is that I've been able to maintain an enthusiasm because the stories that we write are very interesting to me. Did you always want to turn this into a film? Is it something ... [Continua a leggere]

You've inhabited Scully for five years now on television. Is there any difference bringing her to the big screen? Do you present anything differently, or is it just a matter of another episode that lasts two hours this time?I have learned that it is just about doing the same thing. I mean, I think in my mind I had to up the stakes a little bit, and sometimes considerably more and certainly in the film the stakes are considerably higher than they have been in the TV show, but it mostly came down to just doing what I was used to doing and not putting any extra pressure on myself for not ...

At the end of the show, there's a certain level of expectation from you guys. Now you've got a movie coming out. Can you talk a little bit about what you were thinking?I think the challenge for everybody was, "How do we make this satisfying for the fans who are numerous and for the non-fans who are numerous, also?" I was actually talking to Téa (Leoni, his wife) when we were doing the film, and I had this thought which was: the people that aren't fans of the show are not just not fans of the show, they are actively not fans of the show. Because we've been doing the show for five ... [Continua a leggere]

Q: With your work moving from TV and film to CD-ROM: First off, does it change, and secondly, how does the electronic industry, the CD-ROM industry, change how you are approaching your craft, your industry, your job?A: OK, let's start with the first question. The CD-ROM was very different than anything I've been involved in before. It wasn't really so much about acting, it was about hitting marks, it was about leading the other characters towards an end, and what that meant was standing in one spot saying the same lines in different ways, or saying lines that were positive and negative ...

You said this movie was going to be a musical...Well, I'm very disappointed. I saw a screening, and all the music was gone--at least all of my singing. The music is great in the film, though. Are you tired of playing Mulder?Well, it's not really the show or Mulder. It's the bare fact of doing the same show and the same part for five years. If you were in a running series of Hamlet for five years, it would be the same thing. I'd be tired of trying to get my mother to admit she slept with my uncle. Or shaking the Cigarette-Smoking Man, trying to get him to admit he slept with my mother. W ... [Continua a leggere]

It looked like you got beat up pretty badly making this movie.No, not too badly. I got dragged through some stuff, but I don't think any of it was so uncomfortable that I...well, maybe I'll take that back. It becomes very technical when you're in the middle of it--all about the head position and when to let the goop out of your mouth. What was the goop?Some kind of gelatin in water. Not nice. Sounds like just another day at work for you. Were there many noticeable differences between shooting the movie and making the TV series?The thing that stands out the most is the amount of time it ... [Continua a leggere]

Is there any risk doing an X-Files movie? There is no risk here. There's a challenge for [screenwriters] Chris [Carter] and Frank [Spotnitz] to come up with a script that appealed to a pre- existing audience and the audience that had never seen the series before. In that sense it's a risk for them and the studio. For me, I was very happy with what I saw. I'm excited about it. Being invaded by an alien virus and turned into a human host looks pretty gross for poor Scully in the picture. How was it being stuck in that sarcophagus? It wasn't fun. I'd rather not do it ...

I’m warned about Chris Carter by Duchovny, who knows a lot about misleading exteriors. Inside Carter’s office on the Fox lot, not far away from the [movie] set, the creator of The X-Files seems calmly immune to the rigors of filmmaking. He is a handsome man, graying and shaggy-haired, sitting in an elegantly appointed, shuttered office, bowls of candy and fruit on various dark wood desks, a turquoise surfboard in a corner, an episode mapped out in index cards on a bulletin board. It could be the office of any other successful executive, except for a copy of ... [Continua a leggere]
