Upside: Duchovny said the first script is "really good" and did reveal the 6 episodes will be a mix between "monster of the week" and mythology episodes. Original writers Glen Morgan and James Wong are also onboard.
Downside: Vince Gilligan is not involved at all.
Duchovny also said that the group (Carter+Wong+Morgan, Anderson, Duchovny, Pileggi and Davis) involved does not intend this to be only 6 episodes from their end, and that they are committed to doing more than one series (of the 6-12 episode season variety) as long as Fox gives the OK.
Is there anything about becoming Fox Mulder again that he’s not happy about? “Probably running through the forest at four in the morning.”
That's wonderful news. Although Gillian not being on board sucks, iirc he used to do monster of the week episodes?_? 3 great writers tho is enough I'm sure.
The current state of modern scripted TV gives me optimism.
There are many more BTS photos than just that one ... god bless social media, honestly. I spent literally half the day yesterday fangirling over this shit, and it was only day 2 of filming. I will post some of the pics from tumblr here after class. May contain spoilers, but I'll put them all in a spoiler tag.
I'm. So. Excited.
OMG
My gf and I started this a couple months ago, but it's so damn hard to get through some of the weaker MotW episodes. Are they really necessary or can we just hit the fan favorites + mythology episodes and be ok?
You should be fine, someone on tumblr made a list of episodes you should watch to get the overall gist, with all of the mythology episodes noted, as well as some of the better standalones.
Yeaaaa!
I didn't believe until I saw the pictures of shooting.
:>
Okay I forgot to do this last night but here's a bunch of pics from various sources (all of which I've conveniently stolen from tumblr)
Spoilered because there may be spoilers but ... vaguely?
Spoiler: show
Gillian looks stunning. I NEED A HEART EYES EMOJI STAT lol
The fuck, is that Joel McHale as an agent? I love him but really unexpected to see him on an X-Files shooting.
I don't see him as a serious actor. Maybe they're shooting a funny motw episode :3
I don't know what the role is, tbh.
he's trying to get more serious work I believe
Kanye could be an agent and I would still watch.
If Kanye was an agent EVERYONE would watch.
Joel is wearing a flag lapel pin. I would be willing to wager he isnt an agent but maybe something equal to a Skinner role with more of a snide/snarky side.
Could also be a senator like Senator Matheson from Season 1/3 acting as an informant to Mulder. I like Joel McHale enough and think he might not be 100% serious, but I can see him as a snarky/snide young wunderkind within the FBI.
Damn, Gillian remains a 10.
