Sotto i cieli plumbei di “X-files”, nel suo mondo popolato da ombre contorte e inquietanti, non poteva mancare Stephen King. O maglio. Lo scrittore più prolifico (35 romanzi, al ritmo di 500 parole al giorno), più pagato (riceve anticipi da 40 milioni di dollari), più tradotto sullo schermo (25 film) che memoria ricordi non poteva non sentire il richiamo di far vedere i sorci verdi a Scully e Mulder. Si dice infatti che sia stato lui a contattare Chris Carter, l’anno scorso, proponendogli un episodio con la sua firma. E pare che si sia divertito a tal pun ... [Continua a leggere]

Where does a television show go when it’s coming off a summer that saw the release of a successful feature film, the relocation of production, and a whopping 16 Emmy Award nominations? Well, when you’re the X-Files, you keep on doing what you do best: Throwing curve balls to your audience while striving to reinvent yourself and raise the creative bar even higher. The X-Files is due for a shake up. After all, the series is entering its sixth season, a time in any show’s life span during which lethargy can set in and stories can become stale. But the series&rsquo ... [Continua a leggere]

Scully and Mulder have arrived on the big screen. A chance for Gillian Anderson (GA) and David Duchovny (DD) to talk openly, and to clear the air at last about the state of their relationship. The weather is gloomy over Los Angeles. And so is the security guard's mood as he stands at the entrance to Set 8 at the Fox Studios, where the X-Files is currently being filmed. He checks ID, passes... Inside, the closing credits roll. The doors open. GA and DD thank the technicians and welcome "TéléStar" for an exclusive interview. The series, the film, Mulder and Scully's relationship an ... [Continua a leggere]

Il cognome, di origine russa, significa “spirituale”. E David Duchovny, sex-symbol a cui sono stati dedicati siti internet di pura ispirazione carnale (Brigata del testosterone, Brigata dell’estrogeno, Pagina di libidine…), sostiene che il nome gli si addice. “Vorrei diventare puro spirito, fare yoga 24 ore al giorno. Lo yoga che pratico non mi basta mai”. In carne e ossa, comunque, al nostro incontro in un albergo di Londra, pare tutt’altro che etereo, dimostra sardonico umorismo newyorkese e realismo pragmatico. Non soffre paranoia. Non si lamenta: ... [Continua a leggere]

Finalmente sono tornati. Tosti. Intrepidi. Irriducibili. I cavalieri dell’investigazione impossibile, gli sfegatati cacciatori di complotti e alieni sono ancora tra noi. Stavolta, però, smesse le dimensioni dell’elettrodomestico casalingo, i due agenti dell’Fbi Mulder e Scully ci guardano perplessi dall’alto degli schermi giganti dei cinema di prima visione. Uscito negli Stati Uniti lo scorso giugno (quasi sessanta miliardi di lire incassati nel primo week end), il film tratto dalla serie-culto “X-Files”, scritto e prodotto dall’ideatore del tel ...

The promo thing before the show began showed shots from the segment that I'll describe later, with this voiceover: "Plus, The X-Files' eerie connection to Titanic. We're first on the set as the show moves to LA and David and Gillian board the Queen Mary of [for? hard to hear] romance." [When they get to the segment, Bob Goen is in front of a still picture of DD, pre-haircut hair, black shirt with collar, grinning. I missed the very beginning of what he said.] BG: ...asking that The X-Files relocate to Hollywood. Well, now they are here. And our Lisa Canning wa ... [Continua a leggere]

He looks a lot like Mulder. There is the same air of wearied naughtiness. But the familiar face, free from the softening broodiness of his X-Files persona, morphs from wounded pup to bond-broker bastard. In exquisitely tailored midnight blue, he is less the visionary canker and more the acquaintance of American Psycho’s socialite psychopath, Patrick Bateman. At 38, Duchovny is a big star on the small screen, a Hollywood bankable yet to prove his mettle in movies. Internationally identifiable as his wry, doubting alter ego Fox Mulder, the completion of the first X-Files f ... [Continua a leggere]

What's the toughest part of bringing a successful show like The X-Files to the big screen? I think the challenge for everybody was how do we make this satisfying for the fans, who are numerous, and for the nonfans, who are numerous also? And I sat down and I actually was talking to Téa when we were doing the film, and I had this thought, which was — the people who aren't fans of the show, they are not just not fans of the show. They are actively not fans of the show because we've been doing the show for fi ... [Continua a leggere]

It's Chris Carter! You've been called the Pope of the Underground. The Pope? Yeah, people depend on you... We work very hard on the show. Whatever success we've achieved is due to the hard work everyone does. One of our users, Gina Galina from Chicago, wants to know why you changed the poster in Mulder's office? There was a little copyright-infringement problem with the original spaceship on that first poster. Why doesn't anybody have sex in the series? It's a TV show. You can't have sex on TV shows. Can you share any secrets of the movie tonight for people who can't see it till next we ... [Continua a leggere]

Jay Leno: Okay, my first guest stars in the very popular show, "X-Files." [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Of course, it is now a movie. "The X-Files" opens June 19th. Please welcome David Duchovny! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [PLAYING THE THEME TO THE "X-FILES"] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] JL: Have a seat. Good to see you. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] You look good. You look in Shape! David Duchovny: Yeah. [EXTENDED CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] It sounds like we got most of the "Re" here today. [They had just shown a clip of people who didn't know the pledge of allegiance-- ... [Continua a leggere]

At the end of the show, there's a certain level of expectation from you guys. Now you've got a movie coming out. Can you talk a little bit about what you were thinking?I think the challenge for everybody was, "How do we make this satisfying for the fans who are numerous and for the non-fans who are numerous, also?" I was actually talking to Téa (Leoni, his wife) when we were doing the film, and I had this thought which was: the people that aren't fans of the show are not just not fans of the show, they are actively not fans of the show. Because we've been doing the show for five ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Wragge: How about that? You no longer have to work out of the north country. David Duchovny: No, no. I'm working out of my house now. Chris: Working in great old L.A. Have they decided to just come and shoot the "X-Files" at your place now? David: Yeah, that's next. I made such a stink about moving it to L.A. Now I don't even want to drive. I'm like, "Make the show in my house or I'm quitting." Chris: And you've got a big enough place, you could accommodate everyone I'm sure.David: I don't care. It's me. I want the film showing my house. Chris: This is going to be a pretty great ... [Continua a leggere]

You said this movie was going to be a musical...Well, I'm very disappointed. I saw a screening, and all the music was gone--at least all of my singing. The music is great in the film, though. Are you tired of playing Mulder?Well, it's not really the show or Mulder. It's the bare fact of doing the same show and the same part for five years. If you were in a running series of Hamlet for five years, it would be the same thing. I'd be tired of trying to get my mother to admit she slept with my uncle. Or shaking the Cigarette-Smoking Man, trying to get him to admit he slept with my mother. W ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny doesn't look much better than his costar, and not only because of the bullet wound Fox Mulder has taken just below the hairline. It's Day 54 of the shoot, a Friday in late August, and all during this difficult summer the cast has raced to finish the film in time to start the fifth season of the series. The film--which will be released on June 19, as a bridge to a sixth season starting in the fall--is set partly in the Antarctic, so the crew has built a fake snowscape inside a Hollywood soundstage. Their fabrication appears so genuine, you might almost believe the c ... [Continua a leggere]
