On The X-Files, whenever FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder wanted to talk to his secret informant, he had to use a couple strips of tape to make the mysterious man’s namesake letter, X, in the window of his apartment and hope for a prompt response. It is not that hard to get a hold of X-Files creator Chris Carter—a couple calls to the appropriate publicists will do the trick. But it is hard—downright impossible, in fact—to get the writer/director/producer to reveal the super-secret plot of this summer’s The X Files: I Want to Believe, which will reunite the embattled- ...

CC: The motivation really was the hardcore, die hard fans, who are saying, “when are you doing the movie? When are you doing the movie?” We've carrying these drumbeats out there. We felt it, and people have taken out ads, billboards, and we felt it on the internet. HBO: According to the film’s stars, it was a teary reunion with Chris.DD: When we started reading Mulder and Scully, we looked over. He’s got these bright blue eyes and they just started tearing up.GA: Yeah.DD: I think we were both embarrassed.GA: No, we weren’t.HBO: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson ... [Continua a leggere]

DD: This movie deals with both spirituality in a specific religion, and you know the paranormal, so all those things come into play. And it’s debatable, you can debate it all. I think you know you go into this movie, you can come out of the movie talking all that kind stuff, and it’s always the same with The X-Files.*clip from movie*GA: After such a long period of a time, we come at it in that way. It would be kind strange of us to dive back into the mythology.DD: Mostly because we’ve forgotten it.GA: Yeah. At this time and place, and also people have gotten older, and there& ...

CC: The show has been off the air for six years, but we actually think that has whetted appetites for the movie. So hopefully there will be word-of-mouth, hopefully people will know this franchise, The X-Files, hopefully they’ll come because it’s good story telling and it’s a big summer movie.GA: It was more exhausting the first time around we fitted it between the hiatuses of the series.DD: That was not good for anyone.GA: That was horrendous, this was pleasurable.DD: We went out, publicizing the movie, told people they didn’t have to have knowledge of the show, and th ...

UN SUCCESSO. Per nove stagioni consecutive «X-Files» è stata una delle serie tv più seguite, non solo negli Stati Uniti, dove è nata nel 1993. Ad attrarre il pubblico erano sopratutto i temi trattati, come il paranormale, le teorie del complotto, le mutazioni genetiche, gli Ufo e gli alieni. Nel ’98 è uscito il primo film, «X-Files il film», sempre centrato sulle indagini della coppia Mulder e Scully. Nelle foto: in alto, David Duchovny nel nuovo film e, qui accanto, nella serie tv con Gillian Anderson. ... [Continua a leggere]

«Non è una questione di soldi, erano anni che aspettavo di fare questo film». David Duchovny è tornato a vestire i panni di Fox Mulder, l'agente speciale dell'Fbi che lo ha reso famoso nella serie televisiva «X-Files» in «Voglio crederci», il secondo film tratto dalla serie, in uscita nelle sale americane il 25 luglio, che riprende le avventure degli investigatori del paranormale (in Italia arriverà il 22 agosto). Accanto a Duchovny ci sarà ancora una volta Gillian Anderson, nei panni di Dana Scully. Duchovny, che cosa ha s ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson will take on one of the most controversial roles an actress can play on the stage. She will star as Nora in Ibsen's A Doll's House, which opens at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre in Covent Garden next spring. A new version of the drama has been written by Zinnie Harris and will be directed by Kfir Yefet. More than a century after Henrik Ibsen wrote A Doll's House, where Nora famously, walks out on her husband and children, that defiant act still has the capacity to shock. 'How does a woman... how can a woman... abandon her children like that?' Gillian wondered, when we di ... [Continua a leggere]

Apparently some people out there, including at least one colleague (cough, Josh Horowitz, cough) think that the upcoming film "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" is not worth covering. I've heard several excuses: the TV show ended too many years ago; the stars are old; the movie has nothing new to offer today's audience; no one cares. Now this is a movie that, as an "X-Files" fan, I've been awaiting for some time - and I don't think I'm alone. Even for the non-fan, the casual movie-goer, there's plenty to get excited about. So, I will now give you five reasons why "The X-Files: I Want to Be ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson is best known for playing Dana Scully in the long running sci-fi series The X-Files. Anderson has now returned to the role in Chris Carter's new movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe. What made you want to return to The X-Files franchise after being away for several years? I told Chris that I was always available and ready to return for another movie when he was ready, and I knew that David felt the same way. We talked about this back in 2002 or 2003 when Chris and Frank Spotnitz already had a story in mind, and we talked about the story and felt it would make for a good fil ... [Continua a leggere]

On 20th Century Fox's scoring stage, producer Frank Spotnitz and composer Mark Snow seem to share the energetic second wind of two artist who know they're in the home stretch. Months after we were invited out to the set of The X-Files: I Want to Believe(read Ryan Rotten's report here), the pair are overseeing the scoring of the same scene we witnessed with intense, booming notes that mark a decided departure from the television series to something much grander on-screen. Snow, who scored the series from its very first episode (including 1998's The X-Files: Fight the Future feature film) ... [Continua a leggere]

Love it or hate it, The X-Files was a cultural milestone that brought horror back in a big way. Like the rest of America, I went through the mid-Nineties completely addicted and eagerly anticipated the Friday night paranoia of agents Mulder and Scully. But following the departure of writers Glen Morgan & James Wong and the first big screen movie, the show took a creative nosedive and slowly burnt out through season after season of bad story arcs. Now, seven years later, The X-Files: I Want To Believe hopes to reignite the glory days for a whole new generation. But can Chris Carter a ... [Continua a leggere]

The Los Angeles Film Festival gave X-Files fans a long awaited sneak peak at this summer's sequel, X-Files: I Want to Believe. Entertainment Weekly hosted a screening of two clips from the film and a panel discussion with star David Duchovny, creator and director Chris Carter, and writer Frank Spotnitz. The clips were so revealing, viewers could gather the following: Scully and Mulder are in it, they're looking for something, and they disagree about how to go about it. The panelists were equally tight-lipped about plot details, but at least one clip showed Scully bringing up Mulder's sister, s ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files series closed shop back in 2002, but don’t expect the new movie I Want to Believe, to pick up where the show left off. “We don’t act like the six years didn’t happen,” confirms David Duchovny, who adds playfully, “which is great for me physically.” It turns out the actor, who portrays smoldering Special Agent Fox Mulder in the franchise, never wanted to give up the character he played for nine seasons and in the 1998 film by the same name. “I did have this hope that I would be able to play Mulder until I died in a way, until we died ...

Hard at work finishing the visual and sound effects on “The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” Frank Spotnitz, the co-writer and co-executive producer of the highly anticipated sequel, slipped away from the editing room for a few minutes to speak with CBR News about his upcoming Wildstorm comic book special illustrated by Brian Denham, due in stores July 23.Spotnitz told CBR News, “We’re working on a very compressed schedule to complete the film. But it’s very exciting.”Exciting, yes. But it’s also cramping his style a bit too.“It’s really fun bu ... [Continua a leggere]
