Gillian Anderson Reveals Ryan Coogler’s ‘X-Files’ Reboot Plans

by

Anderson, famously known for portraying the perpetually skeptical FBI agent Dana Skully alongside Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) on the television series, recently discussed her upcoming movie “The Salt Path” on ITV1. During this interview, she mentioned that they had conversed about Coogler’s reboot, implying that they have had discussions regarding it.

I had a conversation with him, during which I expressed, ‘If anyone were to take on this task, I believe you are ideal for the job. Good luck to you! If you need me, feel free to call.’ Should my phone ever ring under the right circumstances and the situation seems fitting, I may pick up.

For a considerable period, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this return, and I’m brimming with enthusiasm. If we execute our tasks effectively, certain episodes might be truly terrifying. She is outstanding, let’s hope for the best. Our aim is to create something exceptional, catering to the genuine ‘X-Files’ fans while potentially attracting new ones.

Ryan Coogler Has Proven His Affinity for Award-Worthy Horror

Ryan Coogler, a rising talent in the film industry for the past ten years, has shed light on a genre often neglected by major awards with his latest work titled “Sinners“. This period vampire movie not only received critical acclaim but demonstrated that horror films can not merely recoup their investments, but also captivate audiences with fresh narratives. Although the Academy tends to avoid horror during award season, high-profile actors like Tom Cruise – who doesn’t casually promote films on social media – have lauded the film and its creators. With the endorsement of one of cinema’s most influential figures, Coogler may now hold the industry’s seal of approval.

In 1993, the television show “The X-Files” made its debut on Fox and ran successfully for nine consecutive seasons. The series subsequently produced two movies – “The X-Files: Fight the Future” in 1998 and “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” in 2008. It then returned with two more seasons, one featuring six episodes in 2016 and another ten episodes in 2018. As of now, no official work has started on Coogler’s planned reboot.
