On The X-Files, whenever FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder wanted to talk to his secret informant, he had to use a couple strips of tape to make the mysterious man’s namesake letter, X, in the window of his apartment and hope for a prompt response. It is not that hard to get a hold of X-Files creator Chris Carter—a couple calls to the appropriate publicists will do the trick. But it is hard—downright impossible, in fact—to get the writer/director/producer to reveal the super-secret plot of this summer’s The X Files: I Want to Believe, which will reunite the embattled- ...

CC: The show has been off the air for six years, but we actually think that has whetted appetites for the movie.

Love it or hate it, The X-Files was a cultural milestone that brought horror back in a big way. Like the rest of America, I went through the mid-Nineties completely addicted and eagerly anticipated the Friday night paranoia of agents Mulder and Scully. But following the departure of writers Glen Morgan & James Wong and the first big screen movie, the show took a creative nosedive and slowly burnt out through season after season of bad story arcs. Now, seven years later, The X-Files: I Want To Believe hopes to reignite the glory days for a whole new generation. But can Chris Carter a ... [Continua a leggere]

The Los Angeles Film Festival gave X-Files fans a long awaited sneak peak at this summer's sequel, X-Files: I Want to Believe. Entertainment Weekly hosted a screening of two clips from the film and a panel discussion with star David Duchovny, creator and director Chris Carter, and writer Frank Spotnitz. The clips were so revealing, viewers could gather the following: Scully and Mulder are in it, they're looking for something, and they disagree about how to go about it. The panelists were equally tight-lipped about plot details, but at least one clip showed Scully bringing up Mulder's sister, s ... [Continua a leggere]

In a summer that's seen the resurrection of the Hulk alongside the return of Hellboy, Indiana Jones and Batman, the most surprising and unexpected has to be the return of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully with "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" (opens July 25). Even the show's fans feared that Chris Carter's influential paranormal investigative series that had spawned just one feature film a decade ago was neatly interred in a DVD boxed set with all nine seasons. But six years after the series went off the air, the FBI's most intriguing duo is back with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising the ... [Continua a leggere]

In late April, Chris Carter was editing "The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” the film that reunites agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from the hugely popular 1993-2002 science fiction/conspiracy series, and if Carter's prediction holds, he is still tinkering. In fact, the studio might have to eventually step in and bar him from perfecting his monster, if it ever wants to see if the truth is still out there.But this is standard operating procedure for Carter, a creative force known for living on the bleeding edge of deadlines. He said he always went down to the wire during the original run o ... [Continua a leggere]

A wall is covered with newspaper clippings about the paranormal. There are sunflower seeds in a bowl, a basketball and a number of pencils protruding from the false ceiling.But the give-away is the poster of a spacecraft hovering over an out-of-focus rural landscape. Underneath are the words: "I want to believe."This is where Fox Mulder lives, six years after he and partner Dana Scully were declar ... [Continua a leggere]

No, Chris Carter will not tell you what happens in the new "X-Files" movie. "I think people are going to like it better if they're surprised," said the director/co-writer of the new film (opening July 25) based on his acclaimed science-fiction series. Only recently did Carter release the movie's title: "The X-Files: I Want to Believe." The title is a reference to a poster hanging on the office wall of FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), but there's more to it than that. "It's really emblematic of Mulder's struggle of what is his faith, his belief in the paranormal," Carter said from his L.A ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter spent the '80s working as a writer and editor for Surfing magazine and developing TV shows for Disney before creating the TV series that made his name. Debuting in the fall of 1993 on Fox, The X-Files became one of the defining television series of the '90s. Starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, two FBI agents charged with investigating strange cases, The X-Files mixed hard science and fringe beliefs into stories that were alternately comedic, terrifying, and philosophical. Playing Scully's skepticism against Mulder's credulity, it used pre-mi ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny is sitting on the porch of a farmhouse about an hour north of Vancouver, squinting into the wintry afternoon sun. It's late in the process of shooting The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and he's pondering the choice Agent Mulder had to make in the series finale: perfect happiness or the truth? ''I don't think of Mulder as a happy guy,'' Duchovny says. ''He's like a quest hero. That's why I like him so much. He just doesn't give up.'' Costar Gillian Anderson passes by on her way to the set. ''It's all lies!'' she yells out with a grin.Hey, it might be — after all, ''deceive, i ... [Continua a leggere]
