Snakkle: Tell me about the genesis for Hunted and how quickly after the second X-Files movie (released in 2008) did you have this idea bumping around in your brain? Frank Spotnitz: I was invited to the U.K. to speak in 2009, and that’s when I thought about going over there to do a show. And I called Kudos [Film and Television], and I called Stephen Garrett and Jane Featherstone, because they’d been talking to me for seven years at that point about coming to London to do a show. I always wanted to go to London. I could see how the business was changing, and I thought ther ... [Continua a leggere]

Agent Scully has never looked so good. The X-Files actress Gillian Anderson wowed in a sexy black gown on the red carpet for the Great Expectations premiere during the 2012 RomaFictionFest in Rome, Italy on Oct. 1.

A plunging neckline that left very little to the imagination had all eyes focused on the newly-blond star. The 44-year-old star doesn’t appear to have ... [Continua a leggere]
