Lo scandalo Watergate e l'omicidio di John Fitzgerald Kennedy rappresentano due fra i principali eventi del secolo appena concluso, capaci da soli di sconvolgere nel profondo il popolo americano. Il clamoroso crollo della presidenza Nixon e l'oscura cospirazione che condusse all'omicidio di Kennedy (fra i capi di stato più odiati il primo e amati il secondo), minarono alla base il sentimento patriottico del popolo a stelle e striscie, generarono grande sfiducia nei confronti delle istituzioni e riportarono in auge la figura del ribelle solitario, incorruttibile e sempre all'erta sull'op ...

THE X-FILES’ ninth season finale will mark the conclusion of the hit series on FOX, it was announced today by Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of the series. The finale will mark the series’ 201st episode. “This show needed a network like FOX who believed in it from the beginning.

He added, “This has been an incredible decade of my life.” Sandy Grushow, Chairman, Fox Television Entertainment Group, commented, “We respect Chris' wi ... [Continua a leggere]

Gli agenti Mulder e Scully più amati del Capitano Kirk e del Signor Spock; "Ally McBeal" che batte i più popolari "Friends"; "I Soprano" lanciano l’acuto tra i telefilm esordienti; le bocciature senza appello per le "bellone" Pamela Anderson ("Baywatch") e Manuela Arcuri ("Carabinieri"); sit-com e serial fantastici i generi più amati; pollice verso per i telefilm italiani: sono solo alcuni dei risultati del "Grande Sondaggio delle serie tv" che l’Accademia dei Telefilm, ha lanciato più di un mese fa dal sito http://accademiadeitelefilm.garzantilibri.it.& ...

We all know Jennifer Beals from Flashdance — she with the off-the-shoulder sweatshirt. Now starring in Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cumming's new film The Anniversary Party, the Yale graduate told me a little secret over lunch on Wednesday. She was nearly cast as Scully on The X Files when David Duchovny — whom she knew at Yale — recommended her for the part."They asked me to do that show," Beals said. "But I didn't get it. I still don't get it. With all due respect for the fans, I couldn't imagine doing it every day. I mean, I think their acting is very good, but I couldn't ... [Continua a leggere]

Mark Snow is best known for his X-Files opening whistle and legions of fans know his name through the mysteriously cultish show. But there is no mystery behind Mark’s talent as an accomplished film and television composer and with 1999, Mark proves that the new millennium is full of diverse possibilities. His latest show with Chris Carter (Harsh Realm) debuts in the Fall and his feature Crazy in Alabama marks the directorial debut of Antonio Banderas and a foray into dark comedy. And although Millennium died a slow ratings death last year, Snow’s career has never been more ... [Continua a leggere]

The “X-Files’” Vince Gilligan may be a big-time Hollywood writer, but at heart he’s just a Southern boy. Gilligan reflects on peach milkshakes, Hardee’s biscuits and all things Southern. To X-Philes Vince Gilligan is revered as the “writing god” responsible for such memorable episodes as “Pusher,” “Paper Hearts,” and “Bad Blood.” To those who work with him he’s just Vince, the Southerner from Farmville, Va., who lives in Los Angeles, but still considers himself a Virginian. “I don’t ge ...

Bear with me. This is the first time I'm writing this down after exactly one year (purely unintentional) and some things are bound to be off. Tuesday, 21 April 1998 was the day. I was attending college and a friend and I, at around 11:00AM, sort of skipped an optional lab. We had lunch and then walked over to the main line-up at GM Place. Many local and LA media where there. I know "Entertainment Tonight" was there and their cameras were shooting the line-up. Other local radios stations (Z95.3, CFOX, etc.) and TV stations (BCTV, UTV, VTV, etc.) were there. Anyway, during the wait my frie ... [Continua a leggere]

Q: Any news about another X-Files movie? A: There will be a second X-Files movie as far as I am concerned. But it won’t be on this summer’s hiatus. It seems like the actors are very excited to do it. It’s just a matter of finding the time, and I think it would either come out in the summer of 2001 or possibly 2002. It would have been great to culminate the series and go right into the next big movie. I think there will be a year, or possibly two years in between. Q: What do you mean, “culminate”? A: Next year is probably the last year of The X-Files. ... [Continua a leggere]

Two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully, were introduced to the airwaves in 1993 with little fanfare and virtually no expectations. The same can’t be said six years later. Expectations for The X-Files are as high as ever, even as outside dramas swirl around the series (a pending lawsuit against Twentieth Century Fox brought by star David Duchovny; the cancellation of series creator Chris Carter’s new show, Harsh Realm; uncertainty whether or not there will be an eighth season).While the long-term future of The X-Files and its intrepid agents (played by Duchovny and Gillia ...

Before Chris Carter makes any more X-Files movies, he’s going to make certain that his two television series are in good hands. There was speculation back in 1996, when 20th Century Fox formally announced that an X-Files feature film would be theatrically released two years later, that Carter, who wrote the screenplay in addition to overseeing both the X-Files and Millennium television series, was taking on more than any one man could handle. REVIEWS “I am dedicating myself to putting (‘Millennium’) back to a place where I think it can be.” It now ... [Continua a leggere]

Composer and seven-time Emmy nominee Mark Snow’s musical genesis was officially initiated in Brooklyn in his early teens, and with the dual blessing of pianist mother and drummer father, the career of one of film music’s great inspirational forces of the 90s was set in motion.  He began as a piano student, and in his early development also embraced the art drumming, although in the years that followed the oboe became his principal artistic voice, and Mark went on to explore its expressive boundaries through performances in Baroque and Renaissance music concerts.  It was a ...

LOS ANGELES (CNN) — Chris Carter is riding an amazing wave. The creator of “The X-Files” has watched as his Fox television show has transcended its rocky start and turned into the “Star Trek” of the 1990s, developing a cultish following highlighted by the release of his “The X-Files” movie this summer. All the while, Carter has been hailed as a creative visionary, and a pretty good surfer, as well. Showbiz Today Correspondent Paul Vercammen caught up with Carter in Los Angeles recently, where the two spoke about wave-riding, writing, and ... [Continua a leggere]

There's a scene in the big-screen version of the television show The X-Files when Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), the good-looking FBI agent with a permanent case of the heebie-jeebies, steps into a back alley, unzips and pisses on a peeling, crusted poster for Independence Day. Independence Day earned a lot of money for Fox, the same studio that produced The X-Files, but its creative team of producer Dean Devlin and director Roland Emmerich made their next movie with Sony (a little something called Godzilla), which helps to explain Mulder's target. He - and the movie's makers - needn't h ... [Continua a leggere]
