Next Sunday Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are back as agents Scully and Mulder, and we’re so ready—like 15-years-waiting-for-something-to-believe-in ready. We paused in rewatching all nine seasons to ask Anderson our most pressing questions about the new season. GQ: Do we call it a miniseries or a reboot?Gillian Anderson: I guess it’s a miniseries, but sometimes these miniseries become full series, so I don’t know! I guess it depends on where we go with it. Did you or David Duchovny sign on first?David was very enthusiastic from the inception—he, I think, ... [Continua a leggere]

DAVID DUCHOVNY IS clad in the classic FBI G-man outfit: government issue blue shirt with a short red tie. Sitting behind a large metal desk, he leans forward, picks up a pile of pencils and, one by one, starts throwing them at a familiar poster. You know the one. Bankers’ boxes stuffed with folders marked “X-Files” line the wall. Slapped on a small door is a nameplate designating this the office of Fox Mulder. After a few throws, one of Duchovny’s pencils sticks, right above the words I WANT TO BELIEVE. He points to it proudly. Soon, he’s making the shot consisten ... [Continua a leggere]

When “The X-Files” returns on Jan. 24, don’t expect one of those highfalutin reboots: The six new episodes are all about continuity — down to star Gillian Anderson’s signature hair color. Back in 1993, when the Fox show first aired, Anderson dyed her blond hair red to play FBI Special Agent Dana Scully. This time, she opted for wigs. “The first [wig] wasn’t quite the right red, so in some light it came off as strawberry,” she tells The Post. “The second wig was more the original color.” The coherence goes deeper than hair c ...

What would FBI Agent Dana Scully wear? Or, more importantly, what would she not wear? Gillian Anderson knows, in precise detail. As is her way when it comes to her work, Anderson is relentless when it comes to, not empty perfection, but attention to detail and its contribution to authenticity. So when filming began last June for the much-anticipated new series of cult ’90s (and beyond) show The X-Files, airing on Fox on January 24, she was fastidious. “The costume designer would pull something that on one level would be an interesting thing for Scully to wear, that would give it a ...

The pair, who found fame around the world as FBI special agents Mulder and Scully in the sci-fi drama, have reprised their roles for six new episodes more than thirteen years after the original run ended. The pair whispered and reminisced about the past at the launch of the new season at the California Science Centre in Los Angeles. Commenting on the relevance of the show, Anderson, who can currently be seen in BBC1's War And Peace, said: "There continues to be enthusiasm for it. There has been a huge amount of enthusiasm since we announced it (the new series|)." Duchovny added: "I think th ... [Continua a leggere]

Will there ever be another X-Files movie? Though FOX is releasing a six-episode X-Files "event series" later this month, fans have long wondered whether Mulder and Scully's big-screen adventures are officially over after the second film, 2008's X-Files: I Want to Believe, turned in a disappointing performance at the box-office.  Though there's been no movement on a third feature since then, one person who seems keen on making another film is David "Mulder" Duchovny, who stopped by to chat with us at last night's red carpet premiere for the new series, which debuts on FOX January 24. ...

Molti si sono chiesti: dopo il finale di serie che forniva una data precisa, il 22 dicembre 2012, in cui tutto sarebbe cambiato... Ora che sono passati anni da quella data, come potrà continuare la storia di X-Files? In che modo verrà spiegata la (mancata, a quanto pare) invasione? La risposta potrebbe arrivare con la consueta maestria di Chris Carter nel ricondurre tutto alla cospirazione sulla quale ha costruito la storia di Mulder e Scully: tenere nascosta l’esistenza degli alieni e la loro presenza sulla Terra. Nella nuova miniserie-evento, in arrivo su FOX in an ... [Continua a leggere]

FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are back! The X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson spoke with ET at the premiere the new revival series at the California Science Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday, where they opened up on their emotional return to the franchise that made them household names years ago. According to Duchovny, just reading the script for the first time brought him to tears. "It was nostalgic," the 55-year-old Golden Globe winner told ET. "It was just seeing the, just the names on the page again you know?" As for Anderson, she's looking forward to bri ... [Continua a leggere]

The truth is still out there and, after an over-thirteen-year hiatus, the search continued Tuesday at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Iconic series “The X-Files'” original cast members David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, William B. Davis and Mitch Pileggi were joined by new additions Joel McHale, Kumail Nanjiani, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose and returnee Annabeth Gish, who co-starred in the last two seasons of the series. On the premiere red carpet, Variety played compare and contrast with the new and returning actors about what gave them deja vu this time around a ... [Continua a leggere]

THE ORIGIN STORY After the 2008 film The X-Files: I Want To Believe flopped among critics and barely eked by at the box office, any thought of another reunion was far from any of the principal cast members' minds. In fact, for Gillian Anderson, who plays FBI Agent Dana Scully, the very notion made her sick. "The first time I heard the idea of continuing The X-Files mentioned was at New York Comic-Con in 2013, when we appeared to mark the show's twentieth anniversary," Anderson recalls. "Somebody from the audience asked about the possibility of us doing more movies or shows, an ... [Continua a leggere]

The cosmos aligned for Mulder and Scully to return to TV, and for a show that's about alien conspiracy and the unexplained, do you think that's a coincidence? Yes, against all expectations (and even some of their misgivings) Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny suited up once more for six episodes of The X-Files. It took Mulder (and fewer episodes) to get Scully to sign on. "The episode count had probably the biggest influence on my final decision," Anderson told E! News on set in Vancouver, Canada about returning to the franchise. "I wasn't interested in it. What doing it for TV meant in the ... [Continua a leggere]

How was it working with David Duchovny again? Well David is David, so as you know, he's funny and irreverent and we have a laugh. We laugh about the olden days and about how different it is to do the series as old people. He has a better memory than me so the conversation is usually him being reminded of something we did and me saying, "Really? That happened? In which of the 20,000 episodes?" We definitely stayed closer to set this time round than we used to. I mean, our trailers were where our life happened back in the day! I had a child in mine for one! These days though, after a scene fini ... [Continua a leggere]

Anyone handicapping Fox's fall 1993 lineup likely would have gone all in on the self-titled sitcom from Sinbad rather than a supernatural FBI drama starring two no-names for the network of 90210 and Married … With Children. That bet would have been woefully misguided. The X-Files went on to become a bona fide smash for the 8-year-old network in desperate need of legitimacy and has endured in ways few TV series can claim. Chris Carter's original 202-episode run, which peaked north of 27 million viewers, spawned two feature films and launched the careers of Gillian Anderson and David Duc ... [Continua a leggere]

Specs Age 55 Claim to fame Star of Fox's X-Files miniseries (premieres Jan. 24) and NBC's Aquarius Base New York Twitter @davidduchovny Adweek: What's the first information you consume in the morning? David Duchovny: I get The New York Times on my iPad, so I go through that. I get physically ill if the television's on in the morning. It's actually hard for me to watch television unless it's dark out. It's an old-school habit. My mother probably instilled in me the idea that you'd better be sick if you're watching television during the day. What social media platforms do you use? I'm o ... [Continua a leggere]
