'X - Files: voglio crederci', di Chris Carter

Il film si discosta nettamente dalla trama extraterrestre che aveva caratterizzato alcuni episodi televisivi, per puntare invece su una storia che ha un inizio e una fine (prerogativa che d'altronde riguardava la quasi totalitá delle puntate). Elemento positivo questo, perché aiuta a dare compattezza ad un lungometraggio che rischia di perdersi nelle proprie spirali narrative.

Secondo capitolo per il grande schermo di una delle serie televisive più appassionanti di sempre: X-Files è stato fonte di ispirazione per gli altri telefilm - CSI, Lost e la lista potrebbe continuare - che si sono succeduti nel tempo dai chiari rimandi cinematografici (una certa ricercatezza formale delle inquadrature, il montaggio, la struttura narrativa). Per questo progetto al timone della regia si è messo lo stesso ideatore della coppia di agenti dell'FBI più famosa della tv, quel Chris Carter che in seguito porterà sul piccolo schermo un'altra serie tel ...

REFLECTIONS: Frank Spotnitz

From the show's second season, Frank Spotnitz's name has been synonymous with "The X-Files." Spotnitz wrote some of the most loved episodes of the series -- including "Field Trip" -- and with show creator Chris Carter, Spotnitz has developed much of the show's mythology and written both X-Files feature films. Now Spotnitz is hard at work in the X-Files universe once again, penning Wildstorm's spin-off comic book based on the television series. Illustrated by Brian Denham, "The X-Files" takes place roughly between the second and fifth seasons of the show, stars many classic characters an ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz - Spanish Vivo

DD: We've always wanted to do it,Chris, Frank, Gillian, and I. It wasn't like "oh I hate that show I got to get off", it was always, "well this has been almost a decade doing this, we need to move on and do other things." We have done other things and this six years later, for all of us. We were very happy to come back and do this. We loved doing it. We loved the show, we loved each other, we love to continue with it.DD: Well it was interesting. It was interesting to take a character I started in 1993, left alone 6 years ago, and kinda make it 15 years older. Make it, you know, how have I chan ... [Continua a leggere]

MARK SNOW WANTS TO BELIEVE IN 'THE X-FILES'

The composer talks scoring the latest film based on the FBI duo

If FBI Agents Mulder and Scully have been irrevocably affected by their time spent investigating the dark world of THE X-FILES, then Mark Snow’s ominous music for the series and its spin-off films has done much to welcome us to their nightmares. Whether dealing with mutants, aliens, mind control or black oil, Snow’s soundscapes were some of the eeriest, and most inventive music on alien invasion television since the days of THE OUTER LIMITS. And when Mulder and Scully leapt to the bigscreen with FIGHT THE FUTURE, Snow showed off his symphonic chops with a score that took THE X ... [Continua a leggere]

Modern Day Frankensteins

The return of Mulder and Scully

In a memorable scene in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) reenter FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. for the first time since The X-Files left the airwaves in 2002. Waiting in a hallway they notice a portrait of George Bush that hangs on the wall. Knowing looks of alarm and disapproval cross their faces as the signature six-note musical theme of the television series is heard for one of the only times in the film (aside from the opening credits), and the camera pans right to reveal a matching portrait of J. Edgar Hoover. In a ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter on Nature

Adam: Yes, that iconic music signals that the X-Files have been reopened. A brand new movie version of the supernatural investigations of FBI Agents Mulder and Scully is now in cinemas. As ever, Scully, the scientist, is the definitive cynic, but Mulder errs on the side of the unworldly. In an exclusive interview, I spoke to Chris Carter, creator of the TV series and director of the new film, X-Files: I Want To Believe. Adam: I started by asking him how long we've been missing Mulder and Scully. CC: Yes, you've been missing them for six years if you were a fan of the TV show, ten years ... [Continua a leggere]

Amanda Peet's Challenge In X-Files

Amanda Peet completes the top-flight cast in the latest X-Files film, “X-Files: I Want To Believe” with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Peet is cast as Dakota Whitney, an FBI agent tasked to crack a series of mysterious cases who enlists Mulder’s (Duchovny) help. Like everything else connected to the film, details about Whitney have been shrouded in secrecy. Peet says joining The X-Files team had, not surprisingly, its unusual moments. “It felt a bit odd to be a guest in this phenomenon. But it was enjoyable, too, becoming a part of this world that is so ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files: I Want to Believe it's a good movie

Call it a box office bomb all you want ($17 million and rising!), but I loved the new X-Files movie... both times I saw it. And while that should come as no surprise to anyone who read my recent feature on the year I spent tracking the movie's mysterious march to theaters, I sure as hell have been shocked by the dismissive, occasionally vicious beating it's taken from critics. My hometown Houston Chronicle, for example, gave it one star and called it "stupid, lackadaisical and schlocky." My mother, on the other hand, walked into an H-Town multiplex on Wednesday, and walked out calling ... [Continua a leggere]

Why the new X-Files film is a misunderstood but compelling tract for our times

Mulder and Scully aren't just trying in vain to revive a dated franchise. This time, they're in search of a remedy for the spiritual malaise of the West

The X-Files: I Want to Believe has bombed at the box office and disappointed not just film critics but also fans of the iconic TV show. It has also puzzled them. The programme's first big-screen spin-off, ten years ago, was in essence just an inflated episode of the small-screen series. As such, it went down well enough, particularly with aficionados. This time, however, the brand's originator, Chris Carter, has abandoned the much-loved phantasmagoric world he created, with its ever-ambiguous narratives. In its place, he seems at first sight to be offering no more than a humdrum, bod ... [Continua a leggere]
