The X-Files took on the Mandela Effect and President Trump (via a Trump-like alien) in Wednesday’s “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat.” But thanks to Reggie Something (Brian Huskey) insisting he was really Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Mulder’s (David Duchovny) long-lost partner, the hour ended up being, in many ways, a love letter to the series itself. As Reggie explained his “real” connection to the dynamic duo, viewers got an alternate take on things: new opening credits with Reggie and Reggie in the background (adding snark) to memorable scenes throughout ...

The X-Files is bringing back Mulder and Scully 2.0 for Season 11. TVLine has learned exclusively that Robbie Amell (The Flash) and Lauren Ambrose(Six Feet Under) have signed on to reprise their roles as Agents Miller and Einstein in the series’ latest revival (set to bow on Fox in early 2018). It remains unclear how many of Season 11’s 10 episodes they will appear in. The pair made their X-Files debut in last year’s six-episode revival as FBI special agents who bore more than a passing resemblance to David Duchovny’s Mulder ... [Continua a leggere]

[...] This AAnd That…♦ Hearing buzz that Scully won’t be in the best of shape when The X-Files picks up.Also, much like the last revival, rumor has it Season 11 will be bookended by heavy (and hopefully less contrived/cheesy) mythology episodes written and directed by series creator Chris Carter.

Stay in the loop on industry and casting news with our write-up on who’s been slated for recent film and television roles! “The X-Files”Government cover-ups and bright lights in the sky proved to be a ratings boom for Fox in 2016, so it comes as no surprise that the ’90s property landed a second revival run. What’s been dubbed Season 11—counting each abbreviated season of the original nine—will pick up where the previous nostalgia binge left off. The next outing for Mulder and Scully, still being led by series stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny ... [Continua a leggere]

Fox’s “The X-Files” has officially submitted four performers for consideration at this year’s Emmy Awards. (Visit our forums to view the link to the 2016 Emmy ballot.) Former Emmy nominee David Duchovny and 1997 winner Gillian Anderson make the cut, as do a supporting player and a stand-out guest star. Also submitted: four episodes in the writing/directing races including the much-anticipated Season 10 premiere that aired after a 14-year hiatus. Lead and supporting performers need only name their chosen episodes that best represent their work if they receive a nom ... [Continua a leggere]

Trawl the internet in 2015 and you’ll find no shortage of stories to fuel the paranoid: governments accessing our personal data; the drones that will soon be hovering in our personal space; conspiracy theorists on overdrive about the one-percenters ruling the globe. It feels like the kind of stuff you’d imagine Fox Mulder poring over in his cramped FBI office on his neverending quest to prove that the truth is still out there. Except Mulder – and his brilliant but ever sceptical partner Dana Scully – have been off the conspiracy beat for close to a decade, The X-Files ... [Continua a leggere]

For nine years, 202 episodes and most of the 1990s, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigated paranormal phenomenon in The X-Files. To that list can be added unidentified flying objects, unexplained events, real-world monsters and a complex government conspiracy involving aliens and the abduction of Mulder's sister. By the time filming of the series finished in 2002, Duchovny says he and Anderson were a little crazy. "I think what happens is when you're doing a show like we did and there aren't that many of them, but you're talking about eight or nine years ... [Continua a leggere]

Over a year ago, in the Fall of 2014, I got a call out of the blue from 20th Century Fox asking me if I would consider bringing The X-Files back to television. There had been the suggestion of this at a 20th anniversary event at ComicCon a year earlier, but it seemed like wishful thinking by a vocal contingent of diehard fans. Whether Fox was listening or simply wanted to capitalize on a trend of rebooting old shows wasn’t clear. Again, this could have been simply talk but Fox was quick to add that the actors, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, were both very interested in the idea. Th ... [Continua a leggere]

DAVID DUCHOVNY IS clad in the classic FBI G-man outfit: government issue blue shirt with a short red tie. Sitting behind a large metal desk, he leans forward, picks up a pile of pencils and, one by one, starts throwing them at a familiar poster. You know the one. Bankers’ boxes stuffed with folders marked “X-Files” line the wall. Slapped on a small door is a nameplate designating this the office of Fox Mulder. After a few throws, one of Duchovny’s pencils sticks, right above the words I WANT TO BELIEVE. He points to it proudly. Soon, he’s making the shot consisten ... [Continua a leggere]

In the beginnning, Dana Scully’s hair was my natural colour, which is as dull as anything.  It was 1993 and I was 24.  After we shot the pilot and The X-Files was picked up for series, our executive producer Chris Carter said: “She’s going red.”  And that’s how Scully became a redhead.  For the next nine years I dyed it on a semi-regular basis, but then the show ended in 2002 I defiantly became a blonde and have been one ever since. For the 2015 reboot of six episodes, the question naturally came up: to dye or not to dye?  My hair was alr ... [Continua a leggere]

Anne Simon grew up the daughter of Hollywood sci-fi writer Mayo Simon, who wrote classic cult films like Futureworld and the Saul Bass acid-tripfest Phase IV. He also got to interview Apollo astronauts and meet with some of the smartest scientists of his day. It's fitting, then, that the younger Simon ended up not only becoming one of the smartest scientists of her day, but also serving as a consultant on a little TV program called the X-Files, helping showrunner Chris Carter maintain an undercurrent of science over which the show's forays into the bizar ...

What’s it like to work with Gillian Anderson again on The X-Files reboot? It feels very familiar. We worked together for so long, but that was a long time ago. Then we worked together again about seven or eight years ago, but I just feel like there’s a connection between us now. The fact that we did the show at that time in our lives for so long means that we are always going to have an acting connection to fall back on. How would you describe your first day on set? Again, it felt very familiar. I thought, “Let’s do it; let’s do these characters.” Unfortuna ... [Continua a leggere]

THEY ARRIVE BY limo, traveling a bumpy road winding through wild territory. They exit the car looking unmistakably themselves, and not. He’s missing his suit. She’s missing some red in her hair. They are older, of course, but time has only distinguished them, not diminished them. They’ve arrived at the home of a woman living on the fringes of society to investigate exactly the type of mystery that made them icons of an earlier era. More than a decade after The X-Files ended, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are about to be reintroduced to the world all over again… …W ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny is having a moment, for lack of a better term. The Golden Globe-winning star is returning to TV with Aquarius, NBC's splashy new drama set in the sensational 1960s, his first album, Hell or Highwater, dropped this May and his first book, Holy Cow: A Modern-Day Dairy Tale, came out this past February. Oh, he's also returning to the role that made him a household name, suiting up once again as Fox Mulder in The X-Filesfor six episodes on Fox this coming January. Yeah, a moment is kind of an understatement. So is he crazed? "Oddly enough, not really," he told E! News at the NBC U ... [Continua a leggere]
