How The X-Files Paid Tribute to Those It Lost in "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster"

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]

The X-Files Episode 3: A Monster With an Unexpected Twist (Plus, a Ton of Fun Easter Eggs for Superfans)

Spoiler alert! Do not read further if you haven't watched the latest The X-Files episode, "Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-monster."

The X-Files embraced a new twist when it came to the were-monster Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) were attempting to track down: he was not a human who transformed into a lizard-esque creature; rather, his natural form was lizard-esque, and he was unwillingly turned into a human named Guy Mann (Rhys Darby). The plight led to a sharp exploration of humanity, as Guy found himself compelled to get a job (that he despised), fantasize about sex (with Scully) and discover that the true joy of humanity is spending time with non-humans (like his new dog). For Darby, landing on t ... [Continua a leggere]

Truth and consequences

SFX Febbraio 2016 - Cover

Reopen The X-Files! Series supremo Chris Carter tells Tara Bennett about the most unexpected comeback of 2016

Trawl the internet in 2015 and you’ll find no shortage of stories to fuel the paranoid: governments accessing our personal data; the drones that will soon be hovering in our personal space; conspiracy theorists on overdrive about the one-percenters ruling the globe. It feels like the kind of stuff you’d imagine Fox Mulder poring over in his cramped FBI office on his neverending quest to prove that the truth is still out there. Except Mulder – and his brilliant but ever sceptical partner Dana Scully – have been off the conspiracy beat for close to a decade, The X-Files ... [Continua a leggere]

The heat remains between X Files stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny

IF there’s a recipe for reviving characters last seen on the small screen 13 years ago, it’s one that needs bucket loads of chemistry. Enter Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. When they revive cult classic roles of Scully and Mulder this week in The X-Files it will be an attempt to reboot a partnership that captivated a generation. Anderson says the chemistry she and Duchovny have is “beyond” them. “David and I have that chemistry whether we are just talking to each other, having that — just in ourselves, not even in these characters it exists, and it i ...

Gillian Anderson: 'I’d forgotten Scully had aged'

Gillian Anderson is “much closer” to her X-Files co-star David Duchovny since the pair reprized their FBI roles for a reboot series.

Actress Gillian Anderson took some time to adjust to how her X-Files character Dana Scully had aged when she reprised the role. The 47-year-old star played the FBI agent from 1993 to 2002, and is now portraying the character again for a rebooted six-part series. While Gillian was pleased to see Dana reunited with her FBI partner Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny), she needed to adjust to how much time had passed. “It felt very good to step back into her shoes – and clothes,” she told Britain’s OK! magazine. “But it took some time for me to feel comfortable wi ...

David Duchovny reveals why The X-Files drove him and Gillian Anderson crazy

For nine years, 202 episodes and most of the 1990s, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigated paranormal phenomenon in The X-Files. To that list can be added unidentified flying objects, unexplained events, real-world monsters and a complex government conspiracy involving aliens and the abduction of Mulder's sister. By the time filming of the series finished in 2002, Duchovny says he and Anderson were a little crazy. "I think what happens is when you're doing a show like we did and there aren't that many of them, but you're talking about eight or nine years ... [Continua a leggere]

Jason Madara Gets Personal with the Stars of The X-Files

The X-Files changed television. It was the first show to combine two different forms of TV storytelling: serial dramas and episodic procedurals. What was once a risk is now the most effective way to tell a story through the medium of long form drama. X-Files mythology carried the show through nine seasons of television and two feature films, as we followed FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) in their investigations of the paranormal and supernatural. The relationship between Mulder and Scully is what made the show as compelling as it was (until Duc ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files Episodes Are Airing Out of Order—And Here's Why

The X-Files’ current revival is only six episodes long, but something curious is going on with their schedule: they aren’t airing in the order they were filmed. The revival stuck to one of its initial plans—starting and ending with mythology chapters—but the hours in-between were shuffled. What was filmed as Episode 2 is now running as Episode 4; what was filmed as Episode 4 is now airing as Episode 5; and what was filmed as Episode 5 aired as Episode 2. (Episode 3 is the only standalone episode to remain in its intended spot.) Though fans might be tempted to blame hi ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files: la recensione dei primi due episodi

L'attesa è finita: X-Files è tornato in TV. E lo ha fatto come se il tempo si fosse fermato e non fosse passato un istante dall'ultima indagine di Mulder e Scully...

Ce lo chiedevamo tutti: come avrebbero giustificato la mancata invasione (con relativa fine del mondo) fissata per il 22 dicembre 2012? Come avrebbero collegato i nuovi episodi con 9 stagioni e 2 film? Il rischio di fallire c’era (ma non per me: io credo in Chris Carter. Ci credo davvero) e molti fan di X-Files erano preoccupati. Ma i primi due episodi della miniserie-evento, trasmessi ieri sera da FOX in prima assoluta e in contemporanea con gli Stati Uniti, hanno fugato ogni dubbio. Chris Carter è un genio. Ha riscritto la storia di 202 episodi (duecentodue, lo scrivo in lette ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files: "Founder's Mutation" (January 25, 2016)

In “Founder’s Mutation,” agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate a horrific and violent suicide at Nugenic Technologies. The investigation leads the duo to the company’s founder, Dr. Goldman (Dr. Savant), who is a self-professed “champion of the unborn,” and demonstrates a remarkable obsession regarding children with genetic deformities. As Scully and Mulder soon learn, Dr. Goldman -- who has ties to the Department of Defense -- is hiding a secret about the deformed children in his clinic. Some of them are no mere accident ...

The X-Files: "My Struggle" (January 24, 2016)

After far too long an absence from television, Chris Carter’s The X-Files (1993-2002) returned to television on Monday night with an episode titled, cannily, “My Struggle.” That title -- not coincidentally, I presume -- is also the translated-to-English title of Adolf Hitler’s 1925 literary autobiography, Mein Kampf.  That historical fact may prove the key to understanding better this new starting point for the series. When we consider Hitler and his particular “struggle,” we think immediately of genocide, totalitarianism, and fascism.  We thin ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files Premiere: Why [Spoiler] Isn't Dead, and Has Scully 'Seen Too Much?'

Spoiler alert! Do not read further if you haven't watched the season premiere of The X-Files.

The first episode of The X-Files' reboot ended with a familiar sentiment—and a familiar face. "We have a small problem: They've reopened the X-Files," the Cigarette-Smoking Man (William B. Davis) tells an associate. And though the X-Files were reopened (and shut back down) multiple times during the franchise's 22-plus years, when viewers last saw the Smoking Man he was very much presumed dead. After multiple fake deaths, CSM's hideaway was bombed in the 2002 series finale—not only was he engulfed in flames, but his skin was shown burning off his face until his skull was exposed. ...

On The X-Files Set: An Extended Interview With Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny

Last July, we traveled to the set of The X-Files to check out the revival first-hand and speak with stars David Duchovny (Fox Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully). Duchovny and Anderson were in the middle of shooting the monster-of-the-week episode, “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster,” written by Darin Morgan. During a break in filming, Duchovny and Anderson sat down with TV Guide Magazine/TV Insider to discuss what it took to bring the agents back, the show’s new mythology and guest stars, and why they didn’t want the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Beli ...
