Gillian Anderson is something of an enigma, which is perhaps fitting given that she spent nine uninterrupted years playing the paranormal investigator Dana Scully in the TV phenomenon that was The X Files. On the one hand, there is her onscreen guise, defined, whether the actress likes it or not, by Scully’s glacial poise and biting scepticism, while on the other there is her fiery public persona, characterised by a turbulent personal life, which includes two marriages and two divorces, the last in early 2006, when she split from the documentary maker Julian Ozanne after just 16 ...

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back on the big screen as FBI agents Mulder and Scully in the new movie 'The X-Files: I Want To Believe,' in theaters everywhere Friday, and Gillian gave us the latest on her growing baby bump: It's a boy! ET was on the scene with the movie couple at their big Hollywood premiere, where the expecting mother shared her thoughts on co-star Duchovny playing the role of babysitter. Gillian's response? "That's really funny, I think he would be nervous about it, it would force him into being really protective." Picking up six years after the end of the ... [Continua a leggere]

In this summer of Dark Knights and Hellboys and Iron Men, it's refreshing to be reminded -- as we will be this weekend, with the opening of "The-X-Files: I Want to Believe" -- that not so long ago, there was a science fiction series with a woman at its core, a heroine whose major goals were more about disproving the existence of extraterrestrial life than marrying Big, a chick who spent more time chasing fluke worms down toilets than trying on shoes. I was crazy about "The X-Files," Fox's pre-9/11 ode to trusting no one. I taped every episode. I watched many of them repeatedly. I borrowed fri ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files is known for its complicated, labrynthine mythology and plot twists, which is good, because fans might need those analytical skills to sort out where we left Mulder and Scully. The newest installment in the franchise comes 10 years after the first movie and six years after the end of the series, and, understandably, a plot thread or two can get lost in the mix. Let Mulder and Scully themselves sort it out for you, and tie up at least one hinted-at, but never confirmed, loose series thread in this Filmazing exclusive. With the easy chemistry of these two though, be sure to ... [Continua a leggere]

Emmanuel Itier: I read somewhere that you’re not allowed to talk much about The X-Files? David Duchovny: It’s easy enough to talk about it. The only thing that’s hard is I’m still working full-time on Californication and trying to promote this — it’s kind of getting to me. You know, it’s hard. I haven’t had a day off in like a month, like, a weekend even. I’m going a little crazy. EI: What’s the worst thing about doing these junkets? DD: I get a lot of the same questions. [Everyone laughs.] EI: What got you back into The ... [Continua a leggere]

It isn't hard to feed the mythology of the X-Files franchise. Thanks to the steady rise of DVD sales and the Internet since the show's 1993 debut, it's a beast that has found a way to nourish itself untended over the years. The fact that a major studio would bankroll a sequel (of sorts) to a film from a decade ago, based on a television program that limped to its conclusion in 2002, is a testament to the show's enduring mystique. The X-Files: I Want To Believe has been shrouded in secrecy, and its cast has been directed to remain hush-hush about plot points, though that's probably as m ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files fans are not all alike, except for one thing: They cannot wait — pant, pant — for The X-Files: I Want to Believe to open Friday. And never mind The Dark Knight, which is still sucking up considerable box-office oxygen. "We don't need to beat Batman, we just need to get and please an audience," says writer/producer Frank Spotnitz. "We want the fans to be happy and feel rewarded. It really feels like this movie was made because of the hard-core fans and to some extent for them." A unique aspect of The X-Files phenomenon is the mutual admiration between fans and filmmakers. ... [Continua a leggere]

BEVERLY HILLS - Gillian Anderson says getting back into Dana Scully's character for The X-Files: I Want to Believe was harder than she expected."It was a little odd," Anderson told 9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery during a visit to California. "It was more disconcerting than I anticipated. I expected it to be a breeze. But I tried so hard since the series ended to do things as different as possible from the character.""When I was faced with making acting decisions on that character again, my brain started backfiring and internally combusting," she said.Anderson, who is pregnant wit ...

Producers of the new X-Files film, I Want to Believe, have gone to great lengths to keep major plot points a secret, and now it seems as if they're getting a little other-worldly help. Exclusive, one-on-one interview tapes in which Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny explicitly confirm a belief held by many of the show's fans — but never officially admitted in the show or the first movie — that Mulder and Scully had a baby named William, have mysteriously disappeared, leaving only low-resolution, digital dubs as proof that they ever existed. The inter ... [Continua a leggere]

He is a famous comedian, but there is nothing funny about Billy Connolly's latest role: he plays a tortured Catholic priest in The X-Files: I Want To Believe. "There are no laughs at all, which is brilliant," says Connolly gleefully. "Father Joe is very disturbed, very dark. Doing a drama like this is a joy; you get to use your body in a different way, you get to use your eyes. I love playing dark characters, the darker the better, the more disturbed he is, the happier I get." He fixes me with menacing eyes. "The most worrying thing is that the darker the character, the easier I find i ... [Continua a leggere]
