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 ...

Amazon Studios has settled on four series orders among the 10 pilots the company announced last month were under consideration, according to sources close to the deals.

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]

Everyone loves a good scary story. We sit around telling them at campfires, at sleepovers, and we watch them on TV all the time. One of the best television series to delve into the frightening side of mythology and the paranormal is X-Files, a FOX television series that ran for nine, count ‘em, nine seasons, and produced two movies. Well guess what X-Files fans? Director Christ Carter says that he’s willing to produce a third film. Though the series reached its conclusion back in 2002, fans have been writing fan fiction, comic books and even collecting action figures and toys ever ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson has been busy since the X-Files ended in 2002, and this spring, she returns to TV in the new NBC drama Crisis, about a group of teens—all children of the Washington D.C. elite—who are kidnapped during a field trip. Anderson plays Meg Fitch, the high-powered CEO of a multinational IT corporation, whose estranged sister (Rachael Taylor) is an FBI agent working on the case. Anderson is also back on NBC’s Hannibal this season, returning as Hannibal’s psychiatrist Bedelia Du Maurier. What’s more, she’s doing another season of her BBC2 crime dram ... [Continua a leggere]

A lot has changed since Chris Carter created his megahit The X-Files. New platforms, riskier material, binge-watching, and live Tweeting have changed the television landscape forever. After taking nearly a decade to regroup and recharge, Carter is back with his Amazon pilot The After, a sci-fi drama about eight strangers, thrown together by mysterious forces, who must help each other survive in a world that is both unfamiliar and unforgiving. Carter hasn’t been sitting idle all this time—he directed The X-Files: I Want To Believe, and appeared at Comic-Con with stars Gillian Ande ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter is back in the TV game. The veteran writer/producer/director, best known for creating Fox’s long-running 1990s series The X-Files, has had a long career in the industry having created such cult series such as Millennium, Harsh Realm and the often forgotten X-Files spin-off The Lone Gunmen. Since X-Files went off-air in the early 2000s Carter has largely been absent from the industry, only briefly interrupting his hiatus to produce a second X-Files feature film and to work on the long-gestating feature project Fencewalker. Carter signalled his intention to get back in the ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter helped change television when he created The X-Files in the 1990s, and while that success led to projects like Millenium and the The Lone Gunmen he’s otherwise stayed away from TV since the series wrapped in 2002. In fact, aside from a second Mulder and Scully film in 2008, Carter has largely been off the radar altogether. That changed last week when Amazon Studios released its latest round of original pilots, which included Carter’s return to the medium. The After follows a group of strangers who find themselves thrown together in a swirl of mystery and coincidence d ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files creator Chris Carter has been laying low since the hit mythology series wrapped in 2002. But that's about to change: Carter is plotting a return to TV, starting with the Amazon pilot The After and another project in the works at AMC. "Certainly I needed to recharge," Carter says of his long sabbatical. "Also, television was changing when the show ended, reality TV was really taking over. I saw it as a time to sit back and let the dust settle." That break wound up taking longer than expected, as Carter climbed some mountains, surfed around the world, conducted a fellowship at the ...

Gillian Anderson is busy shooting NBC's midseason thriller Crisis in Chicago. Set to debut this March, the high-concept series follows the kidnapping of several children of Washington D.C.'s elite. Anderson has also been featured in a fascinating guest-starring role on NBC's horror series Hannibal. Even in the midst of the actress' increasingly busy schedule, though, it's possible that a third X-Files movie may move forward. It was reported last summer that The X-Files creator Chris Carter was developing script and that he, Anderson, and David Duchovny were all interested in reunite ... [Continua a leggere]

“THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE”. So promised The X-Files, the groundbreaking sci-fi saga that debuted 20 years ago this fall. But the maxim that appears in the show’s credits- the mantra of questing FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson)- was supposed to be something else. Creator Chris Carter forgets the original phrase, but he remembers that it wasn’t good. With time running out, and Carter hating the entire cretits sequence in general, the producer began brainstorming ideas for images (germinating seeds, a man’s morphing face) and wo ...
