‘X-Files’: Reason to ‘Believe’?
By Behind The Scenes TV on Apr 23, 2008 in Summer 2008
David Duchovny is sitting on the porch of a farmhouse about an hour north of Vancouver, squinting into the wintry afternoon sun. It’s late in the process of shooting The X-Files: I Want to Believe, and he’s pondering the choice Agent Mulder had to make in the series finale: perfect happiness or the truth? ”I don’t think of Mulder as a happy guy,” Duchovny says. ”He’s like a quest hero. That’s why I like him so much. He just doesn’t give up.” Costar Gillian Anderson passes by on her way to the set. ”It’s all lies!” she yells out with a grin.
Hey, it might be — after all, ”deceive, inveigle, obfuscate” was one of the TV show’s taglines during its nine-season run on Fox. But six years after the series ended (and a decade since the last film), the new movie promises to be a lot more straightforward than fans of the show might expect.
