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]
Archivio Stampa David Duchovny
On the eve of a six-episode reunion series, creator Chris Carter, stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and the executives who put the risky show on the air in 1993 recall how the pop sensation all but minted money for a fledgling network.
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]

Why playing Fox Mulder is like singing an old tune
Specs Age 55 Claim to fame Star of Fox's X-Files miniseries (premieres Jan. 24) and NBC's Aquarius Base New York Twitter @davidduchovny Adweek: What's the first information you consume in the morning? David Duchovny: I get The New York Times on my iPad, so I go through that. I get physically ill if the television's on in the morning. It's actually hard for me to watch television unless it's dark out. It's an old-school habit. My mother probably instilled in me the idea that you'd better be sick if you're watching television during the day. What social media platforms do you use? I'm o ... [Continua a leggere]
The statement “absence makes the heart grow fonder” certainly rings true in the case of The X-Files. The groundbreaking sci-fi horror drama went off the air in May 2002 and spawned two films — one in 1998 and a second in 2008 — but the return of the beloved series has garnered so much fan love that it has turned into one of TV’s most anticipated events of the winter. “I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” series creator Chris Carter said in a statement. “The good news is, the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tel ...

In un'intervista a TVLine, David Duchovny parla della miniserie-evento in arrivo a gennaio. E anticipa il titolo del suo episodio preferito fra i sei che vedremo.
Ormai manca poco, meno di un mese. Dopo 14 anni e due film, X-Files sta per tornare in tv con la miniserie-evento che FOX trasmetterà in contemporanea con gli Usa. Impossibile, per ogni fan della serie culto di Chris Carter, non chiedersi cosa si provasse a entrare nel mito, interpretando uno dei personaggi più celebri e amati di tutta la storia della tv. Uno come Fox Mulder, che per anni ha vissuto in prima persona storie fantastiche, emozionanti, spaventose, indimenticabili. Impossibile anche non domandarsi cosa ci aspetta in questa nuova avventura, e se ritrove ... [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 future of the franc ...

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]
"We do it in an interesting way," Carter tells THR.
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]

After two days on set of The X-Files reboot, David Duchovny chats to SFX to preview the series revival…
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 ...

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]
They’re heeere. It’s been 13 years since we last saw Mulder and Scully investigating little green men and tangling with Cigarette Smoking Man on TV. EW made first contact with the revival as the cameras rolled, and we’ve got the intel and photos to prove it.
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]
