In the first episode of the all new revival season of the X-Files we are reunited with our favorite duo; FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, but it seems that it has been a while for the characters too. Both agents find themselves drawn together at the request of a conservative talk show, played by Joel McHale (Community), to investigate the mysterious case of an Alien abductee portrayed by Annet Mahendru (The Americans). EW caught up with the cast and crew of the seminal TV show and were fortunate to talk briefly to stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and the shows creator Chris Carter...
David Duchovny:“Mulder’s not in a great place. He’s wearing bad jeans, so you can just extrapolate from my wardrobe. He’s in a dark, dark place.”
Gillian Anderson:“I like where we find Mulder and Scully in their relationship. I also like the area of zeitgeist that we step in to. It’s on point and raises some very interesting issues. And question marks.”
Chris Carter: “The X-Files ended right after 9/11. A lot has happened since then. A lot of rollback of rights and liberties in the name of our protection. We’re being spied on now, we’re being lied to — all things that, for me, remind me of when I grew up, which was right around Watergate. I think we’re in similar and much more dire times right now.”
“We’re not going to reboot any of the old favorites, although it was something we all thought about. These are all brand new stories. We hope to scare you in brand new ways.”
Expect more soon as EW drip release the news...
