X-Files creator Chris Carter said the hit sci-fi show would likely return after its highly-anticipated six-episode reboot wrapped on Fox Monday. "I can tell you, almost without a doubt, we will come back," Carter told The New York Times.Carter said he'd had an "informal conversation" with Fox co-chief executive, Dana Walden, who told him the network was interested in future episodes. Though Carter noted there are a lot of logistics that need to be sorted out before an official announcement can be made."It's really a matter of when the actors would be able to do it, when they're available at th ...

Last week's episode of The X-Files is one fans will, no doubt, never forget. I mean, how can any of us erase from our minds the image of Fox Mulder tripping on mushrooms and proceeding to perform a country western dance? What you may not have realized at the time, though, was how four different, well-known pieces of music were weaved together to create a not inexpensive backdrop to that sequence — "Somethin' Bad" by Miranda Lambert (featuring Carrie Underwood), "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins and "Misery Is the River of the World" by Tom ...

The X-Files is done. For now, hopefully. What's next? Is there anything ahead for Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson)? Warning, spoilers abound in our chat with The X-Files creator Chris Carter about the season finale of the drama's Fox revival, and what's to come should we get more episodes in the future. Things ended on a big cliffhanger: the Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) had started to end the world with Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) sort of under his thumb. She decided to side with him to save herself. Mulder was near death, confronting CSM and Scully was ... [Continua a leggere]

“I can tell you, almost without a doubt, we will come back.” That’s Chris Carter, the creator of “The X-Files,” who surprised viewers on Monday night by wrapping up the show’s highly rated, six-episode mini-season revival with a cliffhanger. With the world in the grip of a global plague and Agent Scully poised between distributing a vaccine and saving the life of her comrade, Agent Mulder, an apparent spacecraft appeared to bathe her in an electric blue light. And then… credits. It was the latest salvo in the ongoing arms race between ever-savvier ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files ended its revival with quite the cliffhanger. As the world fell apart around them—thanks to an outbreak of a mysterious disease, that was picking off all but a chosen few—Scully (Gillian Anderson) raced to save a dying Mulder (David Duchovny) with a vaccine that was adapted from the alien elements in her DNA. When she found him, she privately confided in Miller (Robbie Amell) that they might be too late: the only cure for Mulder could be their son, whom she gave up for adoption in 2002. Unfortunately for Scully, she didn't even have the chance to figure out where to g ... [Continua a leggere]

Storyboards, props, blueprints and scripts from the making of the current season of The X-Files are now on exhibit in Vancouver—just in time for the much-buzzed season finale on February 22. “X-Files: The Truth is Here (The Making of Season 10)” opened at Back Gallery Project on February 16 and runs until February 27. All the material in the exhibition comes directly from series creator and director Chris Carter, who is a longtime friend of Back Gallery Project owner Monica Reyes. “I’ve known him for a very long time—over 15 years,” Reyes tells Cana ...

It may have been 14 years since The X-Files originally went off the air, but for TV fans, the show has never truly gone away. Through the years, The X-Files influence has been felt on many popular shows like The CW’s Supernatural and ABC’s Castle (the two shows have even shared key behind-the-scenes people with the Fox drama); CBS’ Person of Interest; and even a few Fox shows (the network which X-Files originated), like Sleepy Hollow and Fringe (which counted X-Files’ Darin Morgan as a consulting producer in its freshman year). Even Bones, another Fox sh ... [Continua a leggere]

In a world riddled with thousands of angry voices shouting over each other, how do we rise above the cacophony and try to listen? How do we overcome the hatred that cripples and divides society? How do we erase the image of New England-bred, Oxford-educated Fox Mulder sporting brass knuckles while re-enacting the video for “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” that’s now burned into our bleeding retinas? These are the questions that “Babylon,” Monday’s penultimate episode of “The X-Files” revival mini-series, attempts to answer — with limited degrees o ... [Continua a leggere]

We already revealed that Monday’s episode of The X-Files will feature an appearance by fan-favorite characters the Lone Gunmen. They appear as part of what X-Files creator Chris Carter describes as “a presumed psychedelic hallucination.” That same apparent hallucination also sees Special Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) hitting the dance floor for a rather elaborate routine – set to Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart.” Carter wrote and directed the episode, and talked to us about that dance number and the episode’s special guest star ...

On Monday, the X-Files revival welcomes a few fan-favorite characters from the original series. Surely you recall Byers, Langly, and Frohike, the conspiracy nuts collectively known as the Lone Gunmen? The trio proved so popular with fans of the original show that they actually got their own short-lived spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen. After the show’s cancellation, the characters returned in a season 9 episode of The X-Files. And … well, they died. So, how it is possible that Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, and Dean Haglund are back on The X-Files in ... [Continua a leggere]

Transcript (Slight adjustments were made to cut out issues with audio interference.) Moderator: Our first question comes from the line of Jamie Ruby with SciFi Vision. Please go ahead. Jamie: SciFi Vision. Hi, Chris. Thanks for talking to us. Really appreciate it. Great to talk to you again. CC: You’re welcome. Jamie: First, I just want to say I’ve been a huge fan of the show from the beginning. I really loved the first three episodes that they let us watch. My first question kind of is a part from the old series, a part from the new series. It kind of goes with both. I was won ... [Continua a leggere]

When The X-Files returned to Fox, it brought more than just Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) back with it. Eagle-eyed fans can tell you this. In "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster," not only did the show bring back stoner characters played by Tyler Labine and Nicole Parker, but it also cast Alex Diakun in a new role, featured Mulder in red briefs (never forget) and had callbacks to Scully being immortal, her dog and the 1970s series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. And that's not all. Two familiar names were featured on tombstones in the graveyard: Kim Manners and Jack H ... [Continua a leggere]

Trawl the internet in 2015 and you’ll find no shortage of stories to fuel the paranoid: governments accessing our personal data; the drones that will soon be hovering in our personal space; conspiracy theorists on overdrive about the one-percenters ruling the globe. It feels like the kind of stuff you’d imagine Fox Mulder poring over in his cramped FBI office on his neverending quest to prove that the truth is still out there. Except Mulder – and his brilliant but ever sceptical partner Dana Scully – have been off the conspiracy beat for close to a decade, The X-Files ... [Continua a leggere]

IF there’s a recipe for reviving characters last seen on the small screen 13 years ago, it’s one that needs bucket loads of chemistry. Enter Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. When they revive cult classic roles of Scully and Mulder this week in The X-Files it will be an attempt to reboot a partnership that captivated a generation. Anderson says the chemistry she and Duchovny have is “beyond” them. “David and I have that chemistry whether we are just talking to each other, having that — just in ourselves, not even in these characters it exists, and it i ...

The X-Files changed television. It was the first show to combine two different forms of TV storytelling: serial dramas and episodic procedurals. What was once a risk is now the most effective way to tell a story through the medium of long form drama. X-Files mythology carried the show through nine seasons of television and two feature films, as we followed FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) in their investigations of the paranormal and supernatural. The relationship between Mulder and Scully is what made the show as compelling as it was (until Duc ... [Continua a leggere]
