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]

Did they come along today with you so you could all have lunch together? GA: He kind of did. He really didn’t allow me to have lunch! [Laughs] He was very rampageous today. He’s normally… Well, he’s both, but he was par ... [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]

MSNBC: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reunites as Mulder and Scully in The X-Files, I Want to Believe, but returning to the characters they played for 9 years, was a challenge. GA: It was more of originally thinking that it would be so easy, then experiencing that it wasn’t so easy…DD: Also originally thinking we were going to be in the same environment as we left. In fact the movie starts us at a different environment and starts us in a different place in our relationship, so we had to figure out how to get back to the people we were, but also to honor this new phase of the ...
