As most of you know, opening this Friday is “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.” Since I’m under embargo….I can’t write anything on the film or even what the movies about. Sorry. That being said, I can post what Fox supplied me… In grand The X-Files tradition, the film's storyline is being kept under wraps, known only to top studio brass and the project's principal actors and filmmakers. This much can be revealed: The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show's most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes th ... [Continua a leggere]

DD: It’s funny.GA: It is funny. We met at Chris’ house and sat down, and read the script together. It was kinda emotional.

GA: What was your first impression of me when we met?DD: Let me see if that’s really written.GA: It is, it is!DD: I can picture you were, I think, maybe, maybe I’m making it up. But you were sitting outside Peter Roth’s office where we were gonna go read together for The X-Files. There were two guys and three girls, and we were all going to mix and match. And I went up to you, you were sitting there, I wanted to work on some lines with you, and we ran the lines. And it’s 15 years ago, so I don’t remember exactly. You just said I tried to pick you up, I don’t ... [Continua a leggere]
It may be one of the summer's most anticipated films of the year, at least for ardent fans of the Emmy winning TV series. The movie's title, I Want to Believe, refers to Duchovny's Mulder returning to the FBI to help solve the disappearance of an agent. The one clue is in the hands of a psychic priest [Billy Connolly] convicted of pedophilia. At his side is the more cynical pragmatist, Scully [Anderson] ex-lover and partner. The pair seem as comfortable off screen as on. Paul Fischer reports.
Question: Can you talk about getting back into these characters after a five or six year period?Duchovny: Well, I had two weeks before Christmas of basically running around and chasing Callum Rennie who plays the running bad guy that I chase all over the place. That took a good two full weeks of running even though I know it's only about ten seconds in the movie and then Gillian and I started working on it after Christmas break. The first two weeks I felt a little awkward and I didn't really feel like I wanted to do longer scenes. I was just fine running around. Then as soon as Gillian and I s ... [Continua a leggere]

CC: The motivation really was the hardcore, die hard fans, who are saying, “when are you doing the movie? When are you doing the movie?” We've carrying these drumbeats out there. We felt it, and people have taken out ads, billboards, and we felt it on the internet. HBO: According to the film’s stars, it was a teary reunion with Chris.DD: When we started reading Mulder and Scully, we looked over. He’s got these bright blue eyes and they just started tearing up.GA: Yeah.DD: I think we were both embarrassed.GA: No, we weren’t.HBO: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson ... [Continua a leggere]
DD: This movie deals with both spirituality in a specific religion, and you know the paranormal, so all those things come into play. And it’s debatable, you can debate it all. I think you know you go into this movie, you can come out of the movie talking all that kind stuff, and it’s always the same with The X-Files.*clip from movie*GA: After such a long period of a time, we come at it in that way. It would be kind strange of us to dive back into the mythology.DD: Mostly because we’ve forgotten it.GA: Yeah. At this time and place, and also people have gotten older, and there& ...

CC: The show has been off the air for six years, but we actually think that has whetted appetites for the movie. So hopefully there will be word-of-mouth, hopefully people will know this franchise, The X-Files, hopefully they’ll come because it’s good story telling and it’s a big summer movie.GA: It was more exhausting the first time around we fitted it between the hiatuses of the series.DD: That was not good for anyone.GA: That was horrendous, this was pleasurable.DD: We went out, publicizing the movie, told people they didn’t have to have knowledge of the show, and th ...
