A lot of light can be needed to achieve darkness In one episode of The X-Files, a character’s shadow vaporises anyone it touches. Another character begins smoking when sunlight reaches into his jail cell. No one has to utter the word, the audience already knows it: vampire. That’s typical of how Director of Photography John Bartley CSC, talks to the audience with light and shadows. In many episodes, FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully probe the darkness with xenon flashlights. Somehow the brilliant splashes of light knifing through the blackness add to the aura ...

X-Files Creator Chris Carter Revels In The Bizarre, From A(Liens) To Z(Ombies)
June 19, 1995 — Somehow it’s only fitting that Chris Carter, the 38-year-old creator and executive producer of Fox’s The X-Files, should be, well, slightly X-centric. Emerging from the sci-fi show’s Vancouver, B.C., office after another 18-hour day, the blond, 511″ Carter looks dazed in his wrinkled cotton shirt and faded jeans. The seven-day-a-week production grind, he says, is “hellish and grueling . . . like being chased by wild coyotes.” Or perhaps by werewolves, vampires, pyro-kinetic arsonists and shape-shifting aliens — the ...

Rolling Stone (Australia), 1995. Rock and Roll Yearbook. An Interview with Chris Carter
AD: When the X-files was being developed, was it one of 30 ideas in your top drawer? CC: It was my top idea actually, something I had wanted to do for a long time. It was inspired by a show that was on when I was a teenager called the Night Stalker. So I had almost 25 years to contemplate that or refresh those memories. I loved the show and wanted to do a show as scary as that one. AD: Was it the scariness that you were trying to recreate or was it that lurking sense of paranoia? CC: Both those things. I wanted to scare people first and foremost. AD: It’s the first mass ent ... [Continua a leggere]
North Shore Film Studios, Vancouver Nord, Canada. La linea d’ombra passa da queste parti. Ma cosa avrà a che fare una tranquilla e boscosa città in perfetto stile americano con le vertigini senza fine, le aperture verso mondi paralleli o la metà oscura che alberga in ciascuno di noi?

Le cime innevate delle montagne racchiudono Vancouver in uno scenario da cartolina, ma qui la realtà può solo virare verso l’orrore a ... [Continua a leggere]
Conquistata dalla personalità e dallo sguardo “forte ed essenziale” dell’agente Scully di “X-files”, Mariuccia Mandelli l’ha invitata alle sue passerelle milanesi.
“Dell’Italia amo il sole, le acciughe e Krizia”. L’ha detto qualche mese fa in visita nel nostro Paese e si è ritrovata ospite in prima fila alle sfilate della sua stilista preferita, coccolata come una ragazzina stupita, schiva ma anche divertita per tanta improvvisa attenzione. Gillian Anderson, la superefficiente agente Scully della serie cult “X-files”, in onda la domenica sera su Italia 1, forse non ha ancora realizzato fino in fondo quanto sia diventata famosa. All’inizio del ’93 si guadagnava da vivere come cameriera in un bar e lot ... [Continua a leggere]
