Season 10 of The X-Files (and yes, take it from superfan Kumail Nanjiani: They’re calling it season 10) made its U.S. debut at New York Comic-Con on Saturday with an episode that was at once new and familiar. “We tried to pull things from the distant past and make them relevant to today,” said series creator Chris Carter. “We’re trying to be honest to the time we live in. When they talk about the new world order, it’s something with a lot of scope.” Nanjiani, who appears in an episode of the new season, approves. “You always think, ‘How do ... [Continua a leggere]

Tredici anni dopo l'ultima messa in onda televisiva gli X Files sono stati ufficialmente riaperti dal loro creatore Chris Carter che davanti ad una platea di diverse centinaia di professionisti della televisione e dell'entertainment di tutto il mondo ha ammesso candidamente: "Non me lo sarei mai aspettato." Per il momento saranno sei gli episodi che vedranno tornare in azione David Duchovny e Gillian Anderson nei panni degli ex agenti dell'FBI Fox Mulder e Dana Scully alle prese con fenomeni paranormali apparemente inspiegabili, ma - soprattutto - con una cospirazione in cui sono coinvolt ...

The X-Files creator Chris Carter appeared at MIPCOM today after a premiere of a new episode of the iconic show, to answer questions on how it came together, and what may lie in its future. Télérama’s Pierre Langlais (right) hosted the Q&A. Did he always have in mind that one day the series would come back? “I never imagined that I‘d be sitting here in Cannes introducing more television episodes! It’s surreal. It’s really a dream come true for me to do something. I’ve been doing this now for roughly a little over a third of my life. I ... [Continua a leggere]

When The X-Files returns to Fox in 2016, the show's core partnership will be fractured: in the time since viewers last saw Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) — in 2008 feature, I Want to Believe — the franchise's central pair have broken up. "We do it in an interesting way," The X-Files creator Chris Carter tells The Hollywood Reporter of his decision to break up the popular couple. "We play with that relationship [in the event series]. We put some of the tension back in that was relieved by them being together. It added to the storytelling opp ... [Continua a leggere]

The truth may be out there, but for a lucky subset of "The X-Files" fans attending New York Comic Con in October, it’s closer than ever. Fox’s blockbuster sci-fi series, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as paranormal investigators Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, has been scheduled to make its long-awaited return to television in January, 13 years after the show went off the year. But in an unusual move, Fox announced Thursday that it would screen the first installment of its six-episode "X-Files" revival event at New York Comic Con’s main stage on Oct. 10. That&rsqu ...

What’s it like to work with Gillian Anderson again on The X-Files reboot? It feels very familiar. We worked together for so long, but that was a long time ago. Then we worked together again about seven or eight years ago, but I just feel like there’s a connection between us now. The fact that we did the show at that time in our lives for so long means that we are always going to have an acting connection to fall back on. How would you describe your first day on set? Again, it felt very familiar. I thought, “Let’s do it; let’s do these characters.” Unfortuna ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny was wearing a T-shirt featuring David Duchovny on it Friday at Joe’s Bar. To be more specific, it was a T-shirt featuring a portrait photo of “The X-Files” and “Californication” star when he was about 10 years old, with “Hell or Highwater” — the name of his debut folk-rock album, released in May — written underneath it. That’s right, Duchovny sings now. He wore the ironic T-shirt to the sound check for his concert later that evening. “This is our merchandise,” said Duchovny, seated in the upstairs level ove ...

It’s a broiling hot July morning in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files, is patiently giving me an interview in the basement cafe at the Théâtre du Passage, the home of the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival. By rights, he shouldn’t be here at all. The Californian is midway through shooting a new six-part season of the show that originally ran from 1993 to 2002. He has left Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) back in Vancouver, where the team has recently finished the second episode, to come to Swi ... [Continua a leggere]

AFTER seven years of playing an alcoholic womaniser on Californication, you might think David Duchovny has had his fill of performing in sex scenes. However, now on the TV drama Aquarius, in which he plays a detective in search of a missing teenage girl, it seems that scenarios of a sexual nature are synonymous with the 54-year old actor. “I find sex scenes to be a little embarrassing and they’re usually a little awkward, “he admits. “Although when they make sense, they’re great. I’ve always said that there are many scenes in life, most of them you have yo ... [Continua a leggere]

Fox’s “The X-Files” follow-up has found some new recruits to seek the truth that’s out there. Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”) and Robbie Amell (“The Flash”) will appear in one episode of the upcoming six-episode event series. Character details were scarce and simply described her Agent Einstein as “sharp” and “confident” and his Agent Miller as “smart” and “smooth.” Despite the actors’ likenesses to “X-Files” stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny — particularly conside ...

“Agent Mulder? I’m Dana Scully. I’ve been assigned to work with you.” It’s been 22 years since Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny first began their run on The X-Files, and now they’re back with Fox’s six-episode reboot. “It’s nice to be back in Vancouver,” where the original series filmed its first five seasons, Anderson tells us. “The weather is beautiful right now in Vancouver, so it makes those 17-hour days not bite so much.” Anderson has a packed plate these days, juggling NBC’s Hannibal, the upcoming B ...

Fans of The X-Files remember Dana Scully as an intellectually rigorous, science-minded investigator of the supernatural possibilities, skeptical (aliens? proof please!) yet open-minded about far-out possibilities (including God), and passionate about truth, justice and the man with whom she shared an intimate rapport on multiple levels. So much to discuss about what’s inside the mind and heart of this extraordinary and complex woman – and yet what fans really want to talk about  right now is what’s on top of her head. Because fans also remember Scully for her red hair, y ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter breaks down some of the items that can be seen on the set of Mulder’s home in The X-Files 2.0. 1. Vacuum Cleaner “The idea here is that Mulder has kind of moved into his living room. It should suggest something else about Mulder that I won’t spoil, but Mulder has moved into the central room of his house, and everything that might come into play in such a messy house is in that room.” 2. Newspaper Clippings and Graphs on the Wall “There’s a theme here on this wall, a UFO/extraterrestrial theme. This is the accumulation of a man’s obse ... [Continua a leggere]

THEY ARRIVE BY limo, traveling a bumpy road winding through wild territory. They exit the car looking unmistakably themselves, and not. He’s missing his suit. She’s missing some red in her hair. They are older, of course, but time has only distinguished them, not diminished them. They’ve arrived at the home of a woman living on the fringes of society to investigate exactly the type of mystery that made them icons of an earlier era. More than a decade after The X-Files ended, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are about to be reintroduced to the world all over again… …W ... [Continua a leggere]
