Last March, Fox All Access claimed that discussions for a third X-Files film were indeed happening. While X-Philes everywhere wanted to believe, skepticism naturally took hold of some. Whether we believed FAA or not, fans were still looking for confirmation from X-Files creator Chris Carter or someone who would be in the know. As it turns out, fans finally got an answer today at a charity event held by IBG Inc. (Inspire-Believe-Give) in Beverly Hills, CA where a Q&A session was held with X-Files actress Gillian Anderson and her former co-star David Duchovny, with Chris Carter arriving l ...

Although arguably best known for the time she’s spent playing Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files,” Gillian Anderson has also found a home in numerous period pieces and literary adaptations over the years, from Charles Dickens’ “Bleak House” to Edith Wharton’s “The House of Mirth.” Now, she’s taking on Herman Melville, thanks to a small but pivotal part of Starz’s “Moby Dick,” where she plays Captain Ahab’s wife, Elizabeth. Bullz-Eye talked to Anderson during the summer 2011 TCA Press Tour and got a bit of insight into her character (who – we have been led to understand – has never before appeared in a film or TV adaptation of the novel), but we also checked in on the status of the next “X-Files” film as well as what we can expect from her in the upcoming “Johnny English Reborn.”
Bullz-Eye: How familiar were you with the original Moby Dick novel before you took this gig? Gillian Anderson: I wasn’t. I started reading it once I agreed to do the job…and got about ¾ of the way through. And at some point in my life, I’d like to finish it, but it, uh, hasn’t been at the top of my books-to-read-list. (Laughs) BE: During the panel, you said you’ve got about five minutes of screen time in the production. Seriously? GA: (Laughs) No, I’m in it a bit more than that. BE: Out of curiosity, were you aware that Melville’s wife& ... [Continua a leggere]
Continuiamo a prepararci per l’arrivo degli alieni invasori di Falling Skies ricordando insieme i loro predecessori…
Così, dopo aver visto brevemente alcune delle caratteristiche principali dei film di fantascienza e aver ricordato insieme alcune delle pellicole e delle serie più significative, ci siamo. Arriviamo finalmente alla categoria “alieni invasori”. La categoria di Falling Skies. La storia delle invasioni aliene sul piccolo schermo è più lunga e nutrita di quanto si pensi: sono moltissimi i titoli che, in un modo o nell’altro, parlano di extraterrestri che arrivano ad invadere il pianeta (magari sotto mentite spoglie di “amicizia intergalattica&rdq ...

Gillian Anderson is to star as a ‘sexually charged and alluring’ Miss Havisham in a radical television reworking of Charles Dickens’s classic Great Expectations.
The former X Files beauty is in talks to co-star in the three-part BBC1 drama which The Mail on Sunday can reveal will feature Hollywood hardman Ray Winstone as Magwitch and rising star Douglas Booth as Pip. The BBC is planning what it calls the most ‘visceral’ adaptation of the novel yet in an effort to win over a generation of viewers unfamiliar with the original. It will remain faithful to Dickens’s story, but key characters and situations will be redrawn to give them a ‘contemporary buzz’. Sarah Phelps, the acclaimed writer behind the new versi ...

Whenever you watch an awards show, this is exactly what you want to see -- someone not only accepting defeat with joy, but having a good laugh about it in the process. At the 2011 BAFTA Awards, Gillian Anderson (best known to American audiences for playing Scully on "The X-Files") was presenting an award for Best Actor in a Comedy after she ended up losing an award in her own category. The end result? Hilarity. First, she decided to give a shout-out to her designer -- who also happens to be her friend. Then, she preceded to poke fun at herself for losing the award. Finally, she clos ... [Continua a leggere]
Nostalgia canaglia: le repliche di X-Files sui canali Sky ci riportano indietro. Scully. La chiamiamo tutti così, per nome, come tutte le migliori eroine del filone poliziesco, perché il nome è troppo confidenziale, e comunque il suo compagno di sempre la chiama per cognome, non "Dana". Questo lo sappiamo perché li abbiamo visti attraversare insieme sette stagioni e spiccioli. Nelle ultime due lui non c'era, lei sì, e forse per questo - oltre che per gli ovvi motivi di identificazione di genere - quando pensiamo a X-Files pensiamo a lei. O almeno ci penso io ...

13 Questions for X-Files Writer and Producer Frank Spotnitz
Hardly any other series left such a profound impression on the 90s like the sci-fi cult show The X-Files. Not only did it win an incredible amount of awards, attracted a huge fan following and led to two movies, but it also influenced the way stories are told on the small and the big screen. Even today many shows continue to cite The X-Files in one way or another: Be it LOST, Bones, House M.D. or Fringe – just take your pick. And if everything goes according to plan and the optimism of many fans, a third movie should hit screens next year – after all the complex mythology about a ... [Continua a leggere]

The onetime 'X-Files' star portrays Wallis Simpson, the woman who caused a king to abdicate, in the 'Masterpiece Classic' miniseries 'Any Human Heart.'
Gillian Anderson returns to American television Sunday night as Wallis Simpson in the "Masterpiece Classic" miniseries "Any Human Heart," based on William Boyd's sweeping novel of one man's life spanning the 20th century. The PBS series, also starring Matthew Macfadyen, Jim Broadbent, Hayley Atwell and Kim Cattrall, runs through Feb. 27.Wallis Simpson seems to be everywhere these days.

We knew we’d get to see Agent Mulder in the flesh on Monday when we attended former X-Files star David Duchovny’s theatrical debut in the Off Broadway production of Neil LaBute’s The Break of Noon, about a man who survives an office shooting and finds God. But what we didn’t expect was to see Agent Scully (a.k.a. Gillian Anderson) by his side in the intensely crowded opening-night after-party. We grabbed them for a hot three minutes in between their mingling with old friends Ben Stiller, Garry Shandling, and Duchovny’s wife, Téa Leoni. How often do you see ... [Continua a leggere]
David Duchovny talks marriage, regret and how he’s put the past behind him
Talk about moving out of your comfort zone. For his stage debut, David Duchovny chose Neil LaBute’s “The Break of Noon” — which features the former FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder in every scene of its intermissionless run. “It’s an hour and 35 minutes of me, pretty much,” Duchovny tells The Post. “Nobody can stand much more than that.” The boyish-looking 50-year-old grew up in Manhattan. He graduated from Princeton University and was well on his way to a doctorate in English lit from Yale when he started acting. After “The X-Fil ... [Continua a leggere]
