I’m 20 minutes early for my interview with Gillian Anderson, which is not as good an idea as it seems. She arrives in the bar of the North London hotel just minutes after I do and raises a perfect eyebrow to find me clutching a heap of scribbled notes that say things like Money! and Killers? and Duchovny. But then Anderson’s presence, I suspect, could make almost anyone feel untidy.  Blonde, compact and minimally dressed in black and cream, she has all the cool self-possession and gravitas of Stella Gibson, the police inspector she plays in The Fall – who, as it turns o ...

On Monday, the X-Files revival welcomes a few fan-favorite characters from the original series. Surely you recall Byers, Langly, and Frohike, the conspiracy nuts collectively known as the Lone Gunmen? The trio proved so popular with fans of the original show that they actually got their own short-lived spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen. After the show’s cancellation, the characters returned in a season 9 episode of The X-Files. And … well, they died. So, how it is possible that Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, and Dean Haglund are back on The X-Files in ... [Continua a leggere]

In “Home Again,” Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate the brutal murder of a HUD official, Joseph Cutler (Alessandro Juliani) who was attempting to forcibly relocate a group of homeless people in Philadelphia. His body was discovered… pulled apart…with his head discarded in a trash can. While Mulder pursues a lead involving a street artist, Scully is called back to Washington D.C. because of terrible personal news. Her mother, Margaret (Sheila Larken), has suffered a devastating heart attack and is near death. But efore slipping into un ... [Continua a leggere]

Warning: This story contains spoilers from Monday’s episode of The X-Files. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) has lost another family member. “Home Again,” the fourth installment in The X-Files’ six-episode event series, saw Scully and Mulder (David Duchovny) saying goodbye to Scully’s mother, Maggie (Sheila Larkin), who succumbed to a heart attack. EW talked to writer-director Glen Morgan about why this was Maggie’s time, the message she needed to send to Mulder, and which trilogy of episodes “Home Again” completes. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Fr ...

A small crowd has gathered in front of the Fox theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Carrying rolled-up copies of Variety magazine and holding up mobile phone cameras, they press their flesh as close to the metal barricade as possible. They are here to see David Duchovny, most famous for the newly resurrected science-fiction drama The X-Files, whose star is being unveiled on the Walk of Fame today. Duchovny’s closest confidantes are here, too – X-Files creator Chris Carter, Californication co-star Pamela Adlon, his manager Melanie Green, his brother – but they’re outnumbered ...

Gillian Anderson has spent a lot of time with The X-Files' Special Agent Dana Scully. We're talking 23 years, 200+ episodes, two feature films, and now a six-episode event series. But there were seven years between the last film and the revival miniseries, so you can understand why Anderson forgot what she really loved about the redhead skeptic. "What I've come to appreciate of her, in light of a lot of the other tough female characters I've played—and I forgot this about her until coming back to it—is there's a lightness and a playfulness and a girlishness that I don't really hav ...

Typically, The X-Files concerns two dueling viewpoints or philosophies. We can understand the world through Romantic principles (belief and faith); and these ideas are usually expressed in the series by Mulder. Or we can experience and comprehend our reality via the tenets of the Enlightenment: science and reason.  Most often, Scully is our voice for this world-view. Sometimes -- such as those occasions when Christianity is involved -- these roles and viewpoints are reversed. But there is a third philosophy that viewers encounter in The X-Files, particularly in the catalog of writer ... [Continua a leggere]

That graveyard scene near the end of “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” has become one of the most classic moments in X-Files history overnight - literally. Not only was it a heartwarmingly thought-provoking deconstruction of the bizarre purposelessness of human life in the digital age, but it was also freakin’ hilarious to boot. Cheeky social commentary aside, it’s also a moving tribute to the man who put the The X-Files on the map: legendary TV director Kim Manners, whose name appears in bold on the headstone Mulder stands (and drinks) in front of. Manners dir ... [Continua a leggere]

Transcript (Slight adjustments were made to cut out issues with audio interference.) Moderator: Our first question comes from the line of Jamie Ruby with SciFi Vision. Please go ahead. Jamie: SciFi Vision. Hi, Chris. Thanks for talking to us. Really appreciate it. Great to talk to you again. CC: You’re welcome. Jamie: First, I just want to say I’ve been a huge fan of the show from the beginning. I really loved the first three episodes that they let us watch. My first question kind of is a part from the old series, a part from the new series. It kind of goes with both. I was won ... [Continua a leggere]

Siamo tanti. Siamo ovunque. Siamo... Là fuori! Noi appassionati di X-Files, nonostante gli anni passati, siamo ancora fedeli ai nostri eroi. Mulder e Scully, tornati in TV con la miniserie-evento in 6 episodi, in anteprima assoluta su FOX ogni martedì alle 21.00, hanno battuto ogni record. I primi episodi, trasmessi la settimana scorsa, hanno collezionato oltre 50 milioni di telespettatori in tutto il mondo.

Ricetta (seguire scrupolosamente le dosi): prendete Darin Morgan, che sarà invecchiato ma non ha perso il suo celebre smalto. Neanche un po', l'ha perso: l'uomo mannaro ancora mancava. Ce l'ha regalato lui. Mescolate con capi di vestiario che sembrano usciti da Kolchak: The Night Stalker (la serie che ispirò Chris Carter per la creazione di X-Files), mettete in mano a Mulder uno smartphone (per farglielo brandire come un'arma mentre prende a "fotate" il mostro) e un paio di matite. Aggiungete uno psichiatra-macchietta che, al contrario di qualsiasi altro collega mai visto in TV ... [Continua a leggere]

When The X-Files returned to Fox, it brought more than just Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) back with it. Eagle-eyed fans can tell you this. In "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster," not only did the show bring back stoner characters played by Tyler Labine and Nicole Parker, but it also cast Alex Diakun in a new role, featured Mulder in red briefs (never forget) and had callbacks to Scully being immortal, her dog and the 1970s series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. And that's not all. Two familiar names were featured on tombstones in the graveyard: Kim Manners and Jack H ... [Continua a leggere]
