Chris Carter: TV Guide News

X-Files Fans Honored at Premiere | Movie News | 7/16/2008
20th Century Fox released a statement today saying that loyal X-Files fans, or "X-Philes" (and yes, I am one of them), will be given a special treat at the premiere of The X-Files: I Want to Believe at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood on July 23. 500 lucky fans will be given special credentials on a first-come first-serve basis to observe the red carpet arrivals, followed by the chance to participate in a press conference with the film's stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, and filmmakers Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz. I think I just heard Priceline's Web site crashing as hundreds of screaming devoted Philes try to book plane tickets.On a stage at the front of the theater, the panelists will field questions from fans, which will also be broadcast live via a "special Internet site from which they can direct questions in real-time." Fans can squeal even further knowing that they will have a chance to "meet over 100 of the series' co-stars, guest-stars, and... read more
X-Files 2: Five Questions for Chris Carter | Movie News | 7/9/2008
TVGuide.com: Fans have really been waiting for this movie, X-Files: I Want to Believe (in theaters July 25). Are you surprised that they’re still interested?Chris Carter: Yes. I think the reason we made the movie was because we felt that enthusiasm from the fan base. That being said, I think for this movie to be as successful as Fox would like, we needed to make it a movie that would appeal beyond our fan base, to a broader base, and even to a group of people who didn't watch The X-Files before. I would talk with college juniors, sophomores, freshmen — they were too young to see the show when it was on the air. It started 15 years ago. So, yeah, we thought about them when we came up with the story.TVGuide.com: So can we expect a romantic relationship between Mulder and Scully? Carter: I’m not divulging the nature of their relationship. Let me just say that it's honest to where we felt they'd be six years after we last saw them.TVGuide.com: And how about the Lone... read more
Secret Chris Carter Film Uncovered | Movie News | 6/25/2008
Apparently, Chris Carter (aka my idol!) doesn't sleep. Perhaps he's a supernatural creature in his own right because in the midst of directing, producing and now editing The X-Files: I Want to Believe for its July 25 release date, Carter has secretly been shooting another movie.Though Carter's reps won't confirm the project, the Reporter cites the film is called Fencewalker, and is a "dark coming-of-age semiautobiographical character piece."The cast looks extremely interesting and includes X-Files sequel star Xzibit, The Tudors star Natalie Dormer, Katie Cassidy (David Cassidy's daughter) among others. The film is being shot around Los Angles, including Carter's hometown of Bellflower, Calif.Carter's no dummy — based on the smashingly successful and secretive marketing around J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield, he's smart to keep the film, which he also wrote, hush-hush to pique people's interests. Do you want to know more about Fencewalker, or are you wondering what the big deal is all... read more
X-Files Lives on in New Comic Books | Movie News | 4/19/2008
During Friday night's The-X Files: I Want to Believe panel at NYC Comic Con with the film's executive producer and cowriter Frank Spotnitz and director-executive producer Chris Carter, Spotnitz let a big cat out of the bag. He said that DC and Wildstorm Comics would be announcing a brand new X-Files comic book series tomorrow during one of the many panels. The moderator said jokingly, "I think you just announced it," to which Carter added, "Don't tell anyone." Cut to — a million X-Files fans texting and emailing the scoop simultaneously. The X-Filesmania that was so rampant in the '90s seems to have had a bit of a rebirth since the second film was announced several months ago. Since then, new sites like XFilesNews.com have sprouted up to report on the movie's photos, set visits, interviews and lots of gossip about the highly secretive plot. Older sites like Haven, a message board for Mulder and Scully fans, have seen fans return in droves to discuss new movie theories and... read more
X-Files at Paley: Your Burning Questions Answered, and Much More! | Movie News | 3/28/2008
"X-Philes" lined up several hours early at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood to snag the best seats for the Paley Television Festival's retrospective of Fox's hit show. I teamed up with Lisa Angelo from X Files News to snag some awesome pictures (scroll down to see the shots) of the cast and crew, and to make sure we could answer as many of the fans' burning questions as possible. True to form, Chris Carter and company kept the film's highly anticipated plotline to themselves. However, they did show the new movie trailer (not once, but twice) to excited fans. Let's break the evening down:Who was there: Rather, who was missing!? David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson did not attend the event (boo). But to the delight of many fans, Mitch Pileggi (aka Walter Skinner), Nicholas Lea (Alex Krycek) and Dean Haglund (Langly) were present and very happy to be there. Several writers and producers also joined the panel, including series creator Chris Carter, exec producers Frank Spotnitz... read more
