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]

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]

Of all the truly famous actors I have ever met – by which I mean those whose faces have appeared, bus-sized, on posters on Sunset Boulevard rather than among, say, the pages of the Radio Times – Gillian Anderson is by some distance the cleverest at interviews. Is it a performance, the way she appears so sane and normal? Or is she really sane and normal? Impossible to say, though I have my suspicions. All I can tell you is that, tiny in her jeans and boots, she radiates a certain surprising solidarity. You’d call it sisterliness, if that didn’t sound so my-pal-the-Hollyw ... [Continua a leggere]

In the beginnning, Dana Scully’s hair was my natural colour, which is as dull as anything.  It was 1993 and I was 24.  After we shot the pilot and The X-Files was picked up for series, our executive producer Chris Carter said: “She’s going red.”  And that’s how Scully became a redhead.  For the next nine years I dyed it on a semi-regular basis, but then the show ended in 2002 I defiantly became a blonde and have been one ever since. For the 2015 reboot of six episodes, the question naturally came up: to dye or not to dye?  My hair was alr ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson believes in ghosts. “I haven’t seen ghosts,” she explained in November when we met on a chilly day at a cozy London hotel, “but I’m very hypersensitive, and I generally feel like I can tell if a house is haunted.” She also has “a tendency to believe that people are able to see the future and read minds” and knows “completely sane people who have experienced poltergeists.” Mulder would approve. Scully? Not so much. That’s FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, of course — the skeptical X-Files character Anderson m ... [Continua a leggere]

It’s been 14 years since David Duchovny‘s truth-seeking, pencil-tossing, Scully-crushing FBI Special Agent Fox William “Spooky” Mulder last appeared on the small screen, a drought that will end on Sunday, Jan. 24 with the premiere of Fox’s six-episode revival of The X-Files. In the following Q&A with TVLine, the 55-year-old actor — and current star of NBC’s Aquarius — reflects on his X-Files past “difficulties” with leading lady Gillian Anderson (yes, we said past), present affection for playing Mulder and the futu ...

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]

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]

They’re heeeere! David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have reuinted as Mulder and Scully for the X-Files revival series, and EW was first on the scene, getting the scoop as cameras rolled during the very first week of production. On an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C., we found paranormal detectives Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) investigating the curious case of a possible alien abductee (played by Annet Mahendru of The Americans) at the behest of a most curious ally, the host of a conservative talk show (Community’s Joel McHale). Of course, ... [Continua a leggere]
