Back in January, confirmation surfaced from Fox that discussions were underway for a potential revival of The X-Files — similar to the network’s 24: Live Another Day event series. Since then, talks have remained just that — talks. There’s still no active greenlight for the series, but some new reports say that may soon change. Per sources, the network has settled on a “short-stack” order for the revival and while the exact size of the order is yet-to-be-determined, I’m told it will be less than ten episodes (though I can’t confi ...

Fans of “The X-Files” desperately “want to believe” it’s true: A continuation of the iconic sci-fi series could begin shooting as early as this summer. Fox, the network that aired “The X-Files” between 1993 and 2002, is close to finalizing a deal for a short-order run of the series with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles as paranormal investigators Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, reported British television news site TVWise on Friday. The limited television event will have fewer than 10 episodes, said TVWise, citing unnam ... [Continua a leggere]

EXCLUSIVE: The X-Files revival is one step closer to becoming a reality. Fox is close to giving an official green-light to a revival of their iconic science fiction series, which originally aired between 1993 and 2002. Per sources, the network has settled on a “short-stack” order for the revival and while the exact size of the order is yet-to-be-determined, I’m told it will be less than ten episodes (though I can’t confirm the Daily Mail’s report that it will be six). It should be stressed, however, that talks with sister studio 20th Century Fox Te ... [Continua a leggere]

Dopo nove stagioni e due pellicole cinematografiche (l'ultima nel 2008), sarebbero nuovamenti nei pensieri della Fox, nell'epoca attuale di trionfo di telefilm, le vicende paranormali, le teorie del complotto, le mutazioni genetiche,e soprattutto le mitologie su Ufo e alieni che per molti fecero tendenza.  L'intenzione, non tanto nascosta, di rimettere in produzione la serie X-Files, proviene da due dirigenti della Fox, Dana Walden e Gary Newman, che hanno parlato durante un evento dell'associazione critici televisivi: il network sarebbe in trattative per far ripartire il telefilm, con&nb ...

FOX is in early talks to bring back The X-Files. Dana Walden and Gary Newman, co-chairmen and CEOs of FOX Television Group revealed at today's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour. IGN was able to follow-up with Walden with a small group of reporters, to see how close they were to actually striking a deal. "You know who we're dealing with, do you think I can elaborate???" Walden laughed, when asked if she could say a little more about where they are in the process. Adding, "Gary and I both worked through the entire run of the X-Files. It was a great experience, we've maintained g ... [Continua a leggere]

Fox’s new agenda is looking a lot like their old one. Confirming some prior reports, the network’s leadership says they are seriously chasing a reboot of The X-Files and are possibly interested in bringing back Prison Break too (along with yet another edition of 24 as well — but that’s another story). On The X-Files front, Fox chairman and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman say they have been in talks with series creator Chris Carter about reviving the supernatural procedural, which was a major hit for the network from 1993 to 2002. The ... [Continua a leggere]

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO, Gary Newman, told reporters at the end of the Fox TCA exec session that there were early talks about potentially bringing X-FILES back for an event series. After the panel, when Newman spoke with reporters, I asked him what the progress was of a potential series, and who would actually be attached. “What I can say is that if this happens, it’ll be with David [Duchovny (Mulder)] and Gillian [Anderson (Scully)] reprising their roles,” Newman said. “[X-FILES creator] Chris [Carter] is interest, both D ...

Nine seasons and two movies later, people still can't enough of “The X-Files.” Now, it seems neither can original creator Chris Carter. In a new interview with Vulture, Carter has once again hinted that there may be more to come, and it could be an even more likely possibility than ever with the recent change in leadership over at 20th Century Fox TV and the Fox network, the production company and network on which the original “X-Files” series aired. “I'm very friendly with Gary [Newman] and Dana [Walden],” Carter says when asked if th ...

This time last year, The X-Files creator Chris Carter sat down with Vulture for an extended conversation timed to the 20th anniversary of his iconic series. His Amazon Prime pilot, The After, was still in the early stages of development, and Carter was formulating a plan of attack on a super-secret project for AMC. We thought we’d check back in with Carter at the TV Critics Association press tour held earlier this month, where he’d come to promote The After, which Amazon had given a series order for. (The apocalyptic drama is set to ... [Continua a leggere]

With the series finale of Californication airing this weekend, David Duchovny says he feels like he has comfortably closed the book on his character Hank Moody. That's not the case, though, for another one of his iconic characters: The X-Files' Fox Mulder. During an in-depth interview with Rolling Stone about the end of the long-running Showtime drama, which will run next week after the finale, he said that he would be up for making a sequel to the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe. "I would always want to do it," he said. "I wish we'd done more already. I wish the second one did ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny returns for his final season of Californication on April 13. The actor has brought fast-living novelist Hank Moody to life for seven seasons, and saying farewell to his wild character isn’t going to be easy. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Duchovny tells Parade. “We usually go back to work in late April, which hasn’t come around yet. Intellectually, I kind of get it and we’ve all said our goodbyes and made our peace, but I think they’ll be another round of nostalgia and sadness when April rolls around and I’m not being Hank.” ...

The prevailing feeling one gets after watching the first two hours of NBC’s new series "Crisis," which premieres this Sunday, March 16 at 10pm, is that it’s incredibly tense. Starring Gillian Anderson, Dermot Mulroney and Rachael Taylor, the show feels like it could easily be another crisis-of-the-week episodic thriller, but once you realize that "Crisis" is a serialized drama with a longer endgame, it begins to reveal its true potential and feels much more in line with the network's recent slate of dramas that include the critically acclaimed "Hannibal" (on which Anderson also app ...

X-Files creator Chris Carter has returned to TV - sort of - with The After. It’s a 54-minute pilot that Amazon has started streaming in the U.S. So far, that’s all fans will get of the sci-fi drama. One episode, and that’s it. If they like it, well, there might be more. Or not. Carter chatted with fans during a recent reddit AMA to talk about the new show as well as The X-Files, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Here are some of the highlights. What do you imagine Mulder and Scully are doing those days? Is Scully still a doctor? Is Mulder tweeting about the c ... [Continua a leggere]

Everyone loves a good scary story. We sit around telling them at campfires, at sleepovers, and we watch them on TV all the time. One of the best television series to delve into the frightening side of mythology and the paranormal is X-Files, a FOX television series that ran for nine, count ‘em, nine seasons, and produced two movies. Well guess what X-Files fans? Director Christ Carter says that he’s willing to produce a third film. Though the series reached its conclusion back in 2002, fans have been writing fan fiction, comic books and even collecting action figures and toys ever ... [Continua a leggere]
