Italia 1 trasmetterà la nona e ultima serie del telefilm, sempre con Gillian Anderson, a partire dal 24 Giugno. Andranno in onda come al solito, due episodi per volta. L'ultimo, previsto per il 26 Agosto, dura due ore, vede la partecipazione di David Duchovny e promette di sciogliere definitivamente gli storici dubbi disseminati negli anni dal telefilm: la congiura governativa, il rapimento della sorella di Mulder, l'amore tra Mulder e Scully e così via. Intanto si prepara il secondo film della serie, cui se ne potrebbe aggiungere anche un terzo; tra i registi in lizza c'è ... [Continua a leggere]

Can you spill any details about the finale?You know, I had trouble understanding most of it, so I’m not sure how much I can help. It’s a return to what [series creator] Chris Carter calls “the mythology”: certain people in the government—most of whom have Canadian accents, for some reason—are making deals with the aliens to save their own skin.A lot of fans stopped watching the show after you left and that new guy came.I don’t think anybody but my mom stopped watching. Actually not even her. My mom would call me and say, “That Robe ... [Continua a leggere]

Kim Manners looks into his monitors as yet another take is completed on "Audrey Pauley," episode 13 of the ninth season of The X-Files. "Cut — Print it! Next!" he yells after doing that little karate move with his hands that everybody around the set imitates. The crew immediately picks up and begins to arrange the next setup, seemingly willing to do anything to 'Mind Their Manners.' The director comfortably steps aside for an interview as his crew happily prepares another shot. It's a virtual Kim Manners Love fest on Stage 5 at 20th Century-Fox. Actress Annabeth Gish (Agent Monica Reyes ... [Continua a leggere]

Lo scandalo Watergate e l'omicidio di John Fitzgerald Kennedy rappresentano due fra i principali eventi del secolo appena concluso, capaci da soli di sconvolgere nel profondo il popolo americano. Il clamoroso crollo della presidenza Nixon e l'oscura cospirazione che condusse all'omicidio di Kennedy (fra i capi di stato più odiati il primo e amati il secondo), minarono alla base il sentimento patriottico del popolo a stelle e striscie, generarono grande sfiducia nei confronti delle istituzioni e riportarono in auge la figura del ribelle solitario, incorruttibile e sempre all'erta sull'op ...

Gli agenti Mulder e Scully più amati del Capitano Kirk e del Signor Spock; "Ally McBeal" che batte i più popolari "Friends"; "I Soprano" lanciano l’acuto tra i telefilm esordienti; le bocciature senza appello per le "bellone" Pamela Anderson ("Baywatch") e Manuela Arcuri ("Carabinieri"); sit-com e serial fantastici i generi più amati; pollice verso per i telefilm italiani: sono solo alcuni dei risultati del "Grande Sondaggio delle serie tv" che l’Accademia dei Telefilm, ha lanciato più di un mese fa dal sito http://accademiadeitelefilm.garzantilibri.it.& ...

We all know Jennifer Beals from Flashdance — she with the off-the-shoulder sweatshirt. Now starring in Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cumming's new film The Anniversary Party, the Yale graduate told me a little secret over lunch on Wednesday. She was nearly cast as Scully on The X Files when David Duchovny — whom she knew at Yale — recommended her for the part."They asked me to do that show," Beals said. "But I didn't get it. I still don't get it. With all due respect for the fans, I couldn't imagine doing it every day. I mean, I think their acting is very good, but I couldn't ... [Continua a leggere]

È stato per anni il serissimo agente dell’Fbi Fox Mulder, specializzato nel risolvere misteri e dare la caccia a fantasmi, mostri, extraterrestri. Poi David Duchovny ha deciso di abbandonare il personaggio che l’ha fatto amare dal grande pubblico. Nell’ultima serie di X-files è apparso solo in pochi episodi, e ora tenta il genere comico con il film di Ivan Reitman Evolution. Ma anche qui, per ironia della sorte, il suo personaggio ha a che fare con degli alieni bizzarri e minacciosi, arrivati sulla Terra con un meteorite. Signor Duchovny, rieccola a combattere ...

David Duchovny is standing outside his trailer on the Los Angeles set of "The X-Files," waiting for his co-star, Gillian Anderson. "She's on the phone with Mike Wallace," he says with a half smile. "She's getting interview tips." He's kidding. Anderson hasn't contacted the 60 Minutes bulldog. But when she does show up for her first-ever assignment as a journalist, she's exceedingly well-prepared. She was "thrilled" when USA WEEKEND asked her to interview Duchovny and was flattered to learn he'd suggested her for the job. Sitting "Indian-style" beside Duchovny on a couch in his trailer, Anders ... [Continua a leggere]

Allora, dove eravamo rimasti? L’ultimo episodio del telefilm “X-files” è andato in onda suppergiù un anno fa e appartiene alla sesta serie. Nel frattempo era anche uscita la versione cinematografica, che dilatava e rilanciava la sottotrama del serial: il rapimento alieno della sorellina di Mulder, l’ombra paterna del misterioso “Uomo che Fuma”, il doppio gioco dell’Fbi. Dal 5 marzo, tutte le domeniche, Italia 1 riprende ora a trasmettere “X-files” al ritmo di due episodi per sera. La sesta serie verrà esaurita e proseg ... [Continua a leggere]

We continue our exclusive interview with Ilt Jones, the location manager for the X-Files. The location manager is the one responsible for finding those fabulous locations you see each week on this very popular show. Ilt is also responsible for coordinating all facets of bringing a crew on location. I visited Ilt at Stage 5 on the lot at Twentieth Century Fox in L.A. The crew was dressing the stage when I arrived. Ilt and I visited in the location loft above the stage which features huge location maps on the wall of the greater Los Angeles area, a location manager’s tool o ... [Continua a leggere]

The Official Magazine: How is Season Seven progressing? Spotnitz: If there’s anything I’ve learned, [it's that] I really don’t see what it’s like until the end. You look back and say, “That’s what this year was really [like].” It’s kind of hard when you’re in the midst of it. X-Files Magazine: Will this be the final year for The X-Files? Spotnitz: Nobody knows. It’s David’s last year in his contract. It’s Chris’ last year in his contract. I’m told Gillian has one more year, although ... [Continua a leggere]

Chris Carter has – and always has had – a grand master plan for The X-Files. He had – and unfortunately never got the chance to fully implement – a grand master plan for Harsh Realm. So what doesn’t Carter have a grand master plan for? His life. “There is no grand plan,” admits the 43-year-old writer/director/producer. What Carter does have is a dream. The man behind the paranoid conspiracies of The X-Files, the brooding mysteries of Millennium and the twisted virtual reality of Harsh Realm has a decidedly sunny vision of tomorrow. In it, ...
