Fox Co-Chairman and CEO Dana Walden weighed in on the future of “The X-Files,” suggesting that the supernatural drama could be done following its current season if Gillian Anderson leaves the show. “It seems as if those are the circumstances, there won’t be any more ‘X-Files,’ ” Walden said at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday, referencing Anderson’s desire to leave and creator Chris Carter’s assertion that he won’t do the show without her. Walden didn’t comment further, opting not to speculate abo ... [Continua a leggere]

The upcoming new season of Chris Carter’s The X-Files has drawn attention for multiple reasons. First, there is the mystery whether it would feature Mulder and Scully’s son. And then, there is the controversy surrounding the reveal that the new season’s writing staff was all-male. At the Fox TCA session, chairman Dana Walden revealed that there are actually two female writers working on the upcoming installment, along with two female directors. “I think that Chris is making moves in the right direction,” she said. &ld ...

“The X-Files” reboot has been a major success for Fox, but will there be more episodes after the event series wraps this upcoming Monday? While there are no firm plans at this time for a second round of episodes, with the ratings proof, Fox execs are undoubtedly discussing the possibility of ordering more episodes. Plus, the network has been promoting Monday’s finale as the “season finale” — not the “series finale.” “We said before it aired that we would love to do more, and we are over the moon with the performance. So far, the resp ... [Continua a leggere]

The set-up is classic “X-Files.” A top-secret location. The corpse of a victim snuffed out under mysterious circumstances. A shady official managing the situation. FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully trying to uncover the truth. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have played scenes like this over a hundred times before. It should be a cakewalk. But on this August afternoon on a Vancouver soundstage, nothing’s going right. The actors are tripping over their lines. They can’t hear writer-director James Wong’s cues through the walls of the set from his perch behi ... [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]

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 ...
