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]

You've inhabited Scully for five years now on television. Is there any difference bringing her to the big screen? Do you present anything differently, or is it just a matter of another episode that lasts two hours this time?I have learned that it is just about doing the same thing. I mean, I think in my mind I had to up the stakes a little bit, and sometimes considerably more and certainly in the film the stakes are considerably higher than they have been in the TV show, but it mostly came down to just doing what I was used to doing and not putting any extra pressure on myself for not ...
