When it comes to sci-fi fandom, Star Trek may have first dibs on the world’s most obsessive devotees, but X-Files fanatics aren’t too far behind. Conventions, fan-written fiction, internet forums: you name it, the “X-Philes” were into it. But don’t think this cult-status series, which ran for 10 years between 1992 and 2002, was only for spotty sci-fi geeks and bookish nerds. Cool rock stars loved it too. Self-confessed X-Phile, The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, penned the theme song for the first X-Files feature film Fight the Future; in 1998, Welsh indie ba ... [Continua a leggere]

UN SUCCESSO. Per nove stagioni consecutive «X-Files» è stata una delle serie tv più seguite, non solo negli Stati Uniti, dove è nata nel 1993. Ad attrarre il pubblico erano sopratutto i temi trattati, come il paranormale, le teorie del complotto, le mutazioni genetiche, gli Ufo e gli alieni. Nel ’98 è uscito il primo film, «X-Files il film», sempre centrato sulle indagini della coppia Mulder e Scully. Nelle foto: in alto, David Duchovny nel nuovo film e, qui accanto, nella serie tv con Gillian Anderson. ... [Continua a leggere]

When we first told you about the upcoming 2-DVD set of The X-Files - Revelations, the release date given to us by retailer contacts was July 1st. That date was repeated to us when we posted the contents and, a few days later, the package art. Even now, our retailer contacts tell us that this date is still the one shown at Fox's password-protected retailer site (which we don't have access to ourselves), and the Amazon pre-order listing shows the July 1st date, too. So several of our readers were confused when we posted Fox's official press release this last Friday. In our subtitle heading we co ... [Continua a leggere]

Look for some big-screen déjà vu by mid-summer, as Scully and Mulder go poking their flashlights into B.C.'s dark corners for The X-Files: I Want to Believe.It'll be old home week for the paranormal TV series that filmed here from 1993 to 1998. The last several seasons and a first feature film were shot in Los Angeles, but for this sequel, creator Chris Carter brought stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson back to Vancouver.The biggest X-Files mystery was where Carter had disappeared to after the series wrapped in 2002. He went from being TV's busiest guy -- he ran three other ... [Continua a leggere]

When the X-Files Premiered on TV in 1993, the purpose of Gillian Anderson's role as FBI scientist Dana Scully was to provide a rational counterpoint to partner Fox Mulder's (David Duchovny) obsession with assorted creepy-crawlies. As the series became a huge hit, Anderson became a bona fide sex symbol. Lucky for us, she has five movies in the pipeline, including July's super-mysterious sequel to the first X-Files movie. Despite our prodding, she has sworn not to divulge any of the film's secrets. Fortunately, that doesn't mean she can't be revealing in other ways.----------------------------WH ...

Apparently, the truth is still out there. Which would explain why The X-Files will be back out there this summer, when the second movie version of the series hits theaters. Plot details are more closely guarded than an alien autopsy, but creator Chris Carter does have a few clues to offer eager X-Files fans who have been waiting for more since the Fox show ended in 2002. FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) will still be at the center of the story, and Studio 60's Amanda Peet and rapper Xzibit have been added to the cast as fellow agents."This is really a c ...

Creativity seems to be an indefinable something that separates the artist from the rest of the world. You never know just what’s going to trigger it. For Jim Carrey it was a teacher, for Gillian Anderson it was failing an audition, for Tim Burton it was digging in his heels. “I was in the second grade and my teacher was playing a record,” recalls Carrey. “I was mocking all the musicians. She said, `If you’re going to do that, do it in front of the whole class.’ And they went nuts. She asked me to do it at the Christmas assembly and from then on that was the ... [Continua a leggere]

Dopo nove ani, su “X-files” cala il sipario. L’ultimo episodio, “The Truth”, è andato in onda negli Stati Uniti il 19 maggio lasciando nei fan un misto di soddisfazione e rimpianto. Partito nel ’93 e diventato subito culto, il telefilm ha subìto negli ultimi due anni un deciso calo di audience associato all’uscita dal cast di David Duchovny (l’agente Mulder) e al conseguente arrivo di Annabeth Gish (l’agente Reyes) e Robert Patrick (Doggett) al fianco della storica Gillian Anderson (Scully). Oggi si chiude, e il clamore per i ... [Continua a leggere]
