    When The X-Files debuted back in 1993, nobody has ever seen anything quite like it. Following FBI agents Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson), the show quickly became something of a pop culture sensation - popularizing the idea of government conspiracies and leading whole generations of people to declare "I want to believe". The original show ran until 2002 and spawned two feature films before returning for a brief (though much less successful) two-season stint from 2016-2018. Now, according to the show's original creator Chris Carter, Disney is working on a new X-Files...

    The truth has never been more out there. Fox’s upcoming and eagerly awaited revival of The X-Files is updating its conspiracy theories — only this time, the sci-fi series might cause more controversy than when the show told tales of government-aided UFO cover-ups during its initial 1990s run.RELATED: X-Files Returns: EW Exclusive PhotosIn the first return episode screened for reporters (trailer below), paranormal investigators Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) team up with a charming web-series host named Tad O’Malley (played by the usually comedic Joel McHale, here in a dramatic role). The character, loosely based on conservative online personalities Alex Jones and...
  • 'X-Files' revival premiere implies that everything we know might be a lie

    At the beginning of the new "X-Files" miniseries, two old characters can be seen exchanging some fresh banter. "It's always good to see you," Gillian Anderson’s Dana Scully says to her former partner. "It's always good to find a reason," replies Fox Mulder, the truth-seeker played by David Duchovny. That spirit of reunion might also be applied to the larger "The X-Files." The landmark series returns to Fox for six episodes beginning Jan. 24, nearly 14 years after the show was last on TV.

    The first teaser for the new "X-Files" reboot offers a quick glimpse at the reboot along with some nostalgia and the assertion that "the truth is in there." While we've seen a few behind-the-scenes shots from the set of the forthcoming "X-Files" reboot, heard about Gillian Anderson's challenge in "waking up" Scully and even seen David Duchovny tear up over the "fantastic script," we haven't seen much in the way of a preview of the six-episode series due to air on the Fox network in January. Tuesday, with the release of the first official teaser for the show, that doesn't...
  • Fox Wants To Bring Back The X-Files, David Duchovny And Gillian Anderson

    Fox has confirmed that it is in talks to revive its iconic supernatural horror procedural, The X-Files. Speaking Saturday at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, Fox TV executives Dana Walden and Gary Newman said they've been in talks not only with series creator Chris Carter, but stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, about the show's revival. Discussions to date have not been creative in nature but logistical; with Carter, Duchovny and Anderson all busy with their own projects, the biggest obstacle facing the reboot could be finding a time frame during which all three are free. Here's Walden:

    Twenty years ago tonight, I sat down on the couch in my little apartment in Ogden, KS, and flipped on the TV to watch the debut of a new show. The promotion blitz for the show had been dark and mysterious, and apart from some vague references to UFOs and the FBI, gave little idea as to what the show was actually going to be about. It had piqued my interest, as it was no doubt intended to do, and I figured with much of my life still ahead of me, I could spare an hour to check it...
  • [New Zealand] MPs critical of [Muhammand] cartoons' appearance

    Ethnic Affairs Minister Chris Carter has warned that the decision by two newspapers to publish cartoons depicting the Muslim Prophet Mohammed, undermines New Zealand's reputation as a tolerant country. The Dominion Post and the Christchurch Press re-published the caricatures, originally printed by a Danish newspaper, one of which pictures Mohammed with a bomb in his turban. The cartoons have caused outrage across the Islamic world and Chris Carter says they could affect trade, New Zealand's troops in Afghanistan and even the situation of the Auckland student currently held hostage in Iraq. He says publishing them was a disappointing decision. The...

    Carter recalls his experience in Iraq A hero's story: Local veteran shares his faith By Patrick Crotty patrick.crotty@onlineathens.com Addressing his hometown congregation at Watkinsville First Baptist Church on Sunday, Capt. Chris Carter talked more freely about his faith than his leadership of 150 soldiers during Operation Iraqi Freedom. ''I'm not gonna tell a bunch of war stories this morning,'' Carter said. Carter said he came up with what he called ''PCPs'', or ''pre-combat prayers,'' in addition to the other preparations he and soldiers made. Carter said his prayers during combat were that each soldier make it home alive, which they...

    SADDAM'S 'LOVE SHACK' US troops have discovered what they described as Saddam Hussein's "love shack" in Baghdad. Reports said the secret hideaway resembled "a playboy's fantasy straight from the 1960s". Troops said it reminded them of the Austin Powers spy spoofs. They yelled Powers' catchphrases "yeah, baaabeee" and "shagadelic" as they went from room to room. Associated Press reporters with US forces said the split-level, one bedroom house in central Baghdad had a mirrored bedroom and lamps shaped like women. On the walls were air-brushed paintings of a topless blonde woman and another of a moustached hero battling a crocodile....

    Leave it to a Georgia boy to go all the way to Iraq to act like a dog. A Bulldog, that is, and a good one, according to scores of Georgia fans. Capt. Chris Carter became the pride of the Bulldog Nation early Monday morning when a news crew filmed him and Col. David Perkins - two Georgia graduates with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division - unfurling a University of Georgia flag outside one of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's Baghdad palaces. Already the word "hero" had been attached to Carter's name. He led an effort to save an injured Iraqi...

    NEAR BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The captain spotted the two men, in the garb of suicide attackers, sneaking through the culvert, using the dark green water to hide their movements as they edged closer to the American armored vehicles. He tossed grenades at them. Plumes of water flew up, but the Iraqis still advanced. They ducked when Capt. Chris Carter grabbed the 12-gauge combat shotgun and fired into the water. But then one stood with his Kalashnikov assault rifle. Carter shot him in the head. "Kif, kif, kif!" Carter shouted in Arabic at the other. Stop! He did not....

    Georgia officer rescues wounded Iraqi woman A Georgia soldier made a daring rescue of an elderly woman who was caught in gunfire today as U.S. Army forces battled their way into Hindiyah, Iraq, 50 miles away from Baghdad. Iraqi troops were trying to stop a column of U.S. tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles as they raced for a strategic bridge over the Euphrates River, which leads to Baghdad. American soldiers spotted an elderly woman in a black chador lying wounded in the middle of the bridge. Using his Bradley fighting vehicle for cover, company commander Capt.
