Gillian Anderson: The Fall girl who never bowed to Hollywood demands

Given her big break in The X-Files despite studio objections, Gillian Anderson has enjoyed a slow-burning career with her latest BBC role paving the way for more television success

Steely, but with an underlying softness. A woman to make men weak, but also a feminist who values female company. Engaging, but ultimately a little cool and enigmatic. All could apply equally to Gillian Anderson or DSI Stella Gibson, the detective she plays in the BBC2 drama The Fall. If they're a good fit for each other, it's no coincidence. Allan Cubitt, the creator of the series, started writing the screenplay in 2010 with Anderson in mind, long before she had been approached. "I just thought she was the best person to play the part as I had conceived it," he says. He sent her the first ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan

Broadchurch, who? The Fall is our new TV obsession. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan’s police officer/serial killer dynamic is the most thrilling thing on screens this summer. We’re hooked.

Gillian Anderson is a great actress. She must be, because there is absolutely no way she could possibly be as calm and collected as she appears to be, while being picked up and swung around by a man so incredibly handsome, it is almost absurd. If she is having the same teenage palpitations as the rest of the Red photoshoot crew in her co-star Jamie Dornan’s presence, then for God’s sake, someone give this woman an Oscar because, honestly, you would never know. It is late on a Monday afternoon, and Anderson (who needs no introduction to anyone who owned a television in the 1990s) ... [Continua a leggere]

Hadlow and the BBC’s Controller of Drama Ben Stephenson have now pulled the trigger on that and formally renewed the series for a second season. There is no official word from the BBC on the number of episodes ordered for the second season or when production will commence, but sources tell me that the order is fo ... [Continua a leggere]

BORN IN UK - La tensione di The Fall

Partita da poco in Gran Bretagna su BBC, The Fall è una grande serie thriller che scava nella singolarità e nella normalità dei suoi personaggi. Indiscussa protagonista è Gillian Anderson.

The Fall è un Dexter in versione irlandese? A volerlo bollare così, alla buona, sì. È infatti la storia di un serial killer insospettabile, niente di più, niente di meno. Fin da subito sappiamo chi è. Sappiamo che è lui. Il giochino thriller proposto non è allora quello di indovinare chi è l’assassino, che ormai non è più il maggiordomo come nei buoni vecchi gialli di una volta, bensì quello di aspettare che venga beccato, o che perlomeno qualcuno si renda conto che non è una persona normale. &Egra ...

Q&A: Gillian Anderson Is Chasing the Bad Guys Once Again

It's been 20 years since Gillian Anderson first picked up the FBI badge and flashlight as Special Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files. Since the series ended, we were more likely to find her on PBS or the BBC than on any major network. That, thankfully, is about to change as she returns to NBC. First in a guest arc on Hannibal (Thursday nights) and later this fall when her pilot Crisis airs. To sate us in the meantime, she's getting back into Scully mode, tracking down a serial killer on the British miniseries The Fall, which will be coming to Netflix May 28. Consider this your much-belated Gilli ... [Continua a leggere]

The Fall: Gillian Anderson on portraying an enigma

Gillian Anderson stars in BBC Two's new psychological crime thriller The Fall. As Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson, she is brought in from the Metropolitan Police by the Police Service of Northern Ireland to review a stalled murder investigation.

What compelled you to take the role of DSI Stella Gibson? She feels a little like an island but I find that interesting and it makes me want to know more, which is always a good thing where character and drama is concerned. Can you tell us a detail from the script where you felt a connection to Stella? It's hard to say. I am intrigued by her no-nonsense way of being. And that over time we get to see warmth and what she cares about. She is an enigma. What are the key factors behind Stella's professional decisions? I think she is professional and driven and has a mind for this kind of work and ... [Continua a leggere]

The Fall is one of the best BBC dramas in years

Devoting equal time to hunter and hunted, Gillian Anderson stars in this gripping psychological thriller

"Welcome to Belfast," sighs the assistant chief constable, grimacing apologetically as he hands DS Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) a bulging case file. "I've done 28-day reviews before, you know," she tuts, flicking regally through a wadge of blotchy mortuary snaps and false-lead suspect profiles. "Not here you haven't," continues Constable Roflz, scowling significantly out of the window. "Things are different here." He's not wrong. Things are different here. Very different. So different, in fact, are things in The Fall(Monday, 9pm, BBC2) that it's probably easier to list the things that it' ... [Continua a leggere]

Gillian is woman on a mission in new crime drama The Fall

Gillian Anderson made her name probing the paranormal, but in new crime drama The Fall, filmed on location in Belfast, she plays a detective hunting a serial killer. The actress tells ALBERTINA LLOYD why she took the part

IN the first episode of The Fall, Gillian Anderson’s police investigator Stella Gibbons is a woman on a mission. After spotting a handsome police officer she likes the look of, she demands to be introduced - and then purposefully tells him which hotel room she is staying in. It’s a far cry from prim FBI agent Dana Scully, who spent years in The X-Files refusing to get too close to her partner Fox Mulder (DavidDuchovny) before she finally gave in to her feelings. “When I’ve been asked about the differences between the two of them, suddenly it occurred to me that Scully ...
