There’s a scene in the first series of The Fall, the BBC’s brilliant and controversial Bafta-nominated crime drama, when DSI Stella Gibson, played by the American actress Gillian Anderson, summons a young policeman up to her hotel room for sex. She spots him at a crime scene, calls him over and tells him her room number in the same matter-of-fact way she would ask a junior officer about witnesses. Afterwards, she dismisses him with same lack of emotion. It’s powerful, graphic and, I suggest, quite shocking. ‘Why should this be shocking in 2014?’ shoots back a ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson's six-year-old son Felix recently walked into a room in their Wiltshire home carrying a box-set of The X-Files he had found. 'He pointed at it and said, "Is that you?" and I said, "Yeah", 'Anderson recalls. 'He was like, "Oh" and put it back in the drawer.'She laughs, delighted by the fact her son could be so unimpressed by the television phenomenon that made hers mother a star in the 199os. These days, Anderson, 46, is no longer defined by her nine-year stint as special agent Dana Scully on the sci-fi series. Since her glorious turn as DSl Stella Gibson in the BBC's hit crime ...

Nine seasons and two movies later, people still can't enough of “The X-Files.” Now, it seems neither can original creator Chris Carter. In a new interview with Vulture, Carter has once again hinted that there may be more to come, and it could be an even more likely possibility than ever with the recent change in leadership over at 20th Century Fox TV and the Fox network, the production company and network on which the original “X-Files” series aired. “I'm very friendly with Gary [Newman] and Dana [Walden],” Carter says when asked if th ...

This time last year, The X-Files creator Chris Carter sat down with Vulture for an extended conversation timed to the 20th anniversary of his iconic series. His Amazon Prime pilot, The After, was still in the early stages of development, and Carter was formulating a plan of attack on a super-secret project for AMC. We thought we’d check back in with Carter at the TV Critics Association press tour held earlier this month, where he’d come to promote The After, which Amazon had given a series order for. (The apocalyptic drama is set to ... [Continua a leggere]

A lot can change in 15 years. National Geographic Channel's upcoming three-part miniseries The '90s: The Last Great Decade? makes that quite apparent, with a look back on the decade that gave us Bill Clinton's presidency, the rise of America Online, the musical stylings of Vanilla Ice, and a spooky little television series called The X-Files. Created by Chris Carter, The X-Files debuted in September 1993 and quickly became a touchstone for an entire generation of skeptics, sci-fi enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists, and audiences in search of something that was unlike anything else on televisio ...

With the series finale of Californication airing this weekend, David Duchovny says he feels like he has comfortably closed the book on his character Hank Moody. That's not the case, though, for another one of his iconic characters: The X-Files' Fox Mulder. During an in-depth interview with Rolling Stone about the end of the long-running Showtime drama, which will run next week after the finale, he said that he would be up for making a sequel to the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe. "I would always want to do it," he said. "I wish we'd done more already. I wish the second one did ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny returns for his final season of Californication on April 13. The actor has brought fast-living novelist Hank Moody to life for seven seasons, and saying farewell to his wild character isn’t going to be easy. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Duchovny tells Parade. “We usually go back to work in late April, which hasn’t come around yet. Intellectually, I kind of get it and we’ve all said our goodbyes and made our peace, but I think they’ll be another round of nostalgia and sadness when April rolls around and I’m not being Hank.” ...

The prevailing feeling one gets after watching the first two hours of NBC’s new series "Crisis," which premieres this Sunday, March 16 at 10pm, is that it’s incredibly tense. Starring Gillian Anderson, Dermot Mulroney and Rachael Taylor, the show feels like it could easily be another crisis-of-the-week episodic thriller, but once you realize that "Crisis" is a serialized drama with a longer endgame, it begins to reveal its true potential and feels much more in line with the network's recent slate of dramas that include the critically acclaimed "Hannibal" (on which Anderson also app ...

The photo assistant is a fan of “The X-Files.” The whole room is. But the photo assistant is the first to speak up. “Would you mind…” he says, apologetically holding up a camera. Gillian Anderson obliges, posing genteelly. That’s when the floodgates break open. A single-file line forms for selfies with Scully. Of course, Anderson is no longer Dr. Dana Scully, not by a long shot. In fact, Anderson has led a fruitful career since the end of the beloved conspiracy show. Currently, Anderson is hostile CEO Meg Fitch on NBC’s action-packed hostage mystery ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files creator Chris Carter has returned to TV - sort of - with The After. It’s a 54-minute pilot that Amazon has started streaming in the U.S. So far, that’s all fans will get of the sci-fi drama. One episode, and that’s it. If they like it, well, there might be more. Or not. Carter chatted with fans during a recent reddit AMA to talk about the new show as well as The X-Files, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Here are some of the highlights. What do you imagine Mulder and Scully are doing those days? Is Scully still a doctor? Is Mulder tweeting about the c ... [Continua a leggere]
