Gillian Anderson Talks 'X-Files 2' on Her Website
Filed under: Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Mystery & Suspense, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
The excitement for the next cinematic installment of the X-Files continues to build! As I told you before, there has been some developments lately regarding another movie based on the very successful 1990s TV show. When last we had word, former TV show Exec. Producer Frank Spotnitz let slip that he was actively developing a new X-Files movie. This was also corroborated by series and movie star David Duchovny during a recent radio interview. So, at that time, all signs looked good for the new film to move forward.And now, we've got yet another person weighing in on the subject of the X-Files. Not just any person, by the way, but a person who should be as in-the-know as David Duchovny -- series and movie co-star Gillian Anderson. Over at her personal blog, Anderson details many different X-Files-related items including her feelings about the TV show and her co-star Duchovny, why she sometimes both hated and loved the X-Files and how much she's looking forward to doing the movie and working with Duchovny again. Even though, as she says at the site regarding her co-star: "Do I imagine that when we do the film together we won't hate each other for a few hours during the filming? No. We will. Vehemently."
As someone who's done some TV in his time, I can relate completely to her love/hate relationship with the show and her co-star. It's inevitable, as Anderson recalls, that when you spend so much time with people under such long, arduous conditions, you'll start to dislike them -- often intensely at times. It's just the nature of the business. That said, I'm glad she came out with it and hopefully put things to rest once and for all. Of course, the most important bit of knowledge gained from her post is that there is indeed a new X-Files movie and she will be working on it. As Anderson says in her post: "And that's that."

Q and A
(Prelude) As a published photo journalist living in Hollywood, one learns that in most cases it's only the players themselves and God that know the real truth of a thing, when it comes down to the bare bones of a matter. The following is an intelligent speculation after hours and hours of research and insight. The topic is the lead actors of the TV series X-Files and corp Hollywood ...a real X-File.
IT'S SPECULATED THAT:
Q: Did, do Scully and Mulder hate each other?
A: Yes, but not at first and is more so on his side than hers. They became very close, at first. (more later)
Q: What are the two main actors like?
A: As different as night and day. David is more cookie-cutter, a conformist ...goes on pure man's logic ...pushing him more towards the anal-conservative. Gillian ...well, she doesn't fit into the peg-hole scheme as does David, who knows just how to make himself a perfect peg. She is more like the complex artist that no one could figure out in a million years. One minute hot, then cold, calm them stressed, hopeful then all is futility. FYI, "the man" in Hollywood likes peg-hole people ...hates real humanity ...doesn't fit into their time slots and budget.!
Q: What about D & G 's relationship.
A: They were very close and hopeful to include their working union that could shoot them to the top. David ended up abandoning her because he could not hang with her human, artistic weird ways being that to him, not being like him and the majority is weird. He did so after something she did that hurt his feelings, shocked him and pissed him off. He never used understanding--pegs are wooden, they have no understanding--or forgave her. He convinced himself that she was a nut-job because not only was she not a wooden peg, which Hollywood loves, she could or would not change to be like him. He was confident that he would show her up, in her bizarre non-peg ways and surpass her professionally and in popularity. Well, it went the other way. This exasperated and enraged him because he was working so hard to be the perfect Hollywood peg. He soon began complaining about money and having to do more of the crawling about in muck scenes than she did. …miss-communication, bitterness, resentment, jealousy… All this escalated until they had no working relationship.
Q: Why did Scully, Gillian Anderson's career go nowhere after she left the X-Files when her ratings where sky high.
A: Because she left the series when in high ratings and corp's expected future high ratings. In short, they blackballed her to include slandering her via the media (in which Hollywood owns). It’s corny but “You’ll never work in this town again!” is a very real thing Hollywood uses as their main management tools.
Q: What else might be holding her back.
A: It's been said that she is currently being blackmailed with doctored sex photos. It's not clear if Hollywood is directly or indirectly responsible, but chances are they are.
Q: Why would Hollywood want to blackmail Gillian Anderson?
A: Because she wants to work in her industry. She could trump Hollywood’s blackball against her by threatening to take Hollywood to court for unfair labor practices ...with a newborn, they made her work 16-17 hour days, five and a half workdays, for nine months straight for nearly a decade. If they don't lift the blackball contract on her and help un-tarnish her reputation, for which they are responsible for destroying, she'll never freely work again, substantially.
Q: The Hollywood published media says she has lost her looks, is untalented, an alcoholic and is a total psycho?
A: No, no, no and probably. No, she still has her looks. No, she is talented and has proven that even with halfway scripts, stories, leading men, TV. series and movies to work with she is very believable. No, she’s is not known for being an alcoholic, though she has stated publicly that she’s been guilty of abusing alcohol. A psycho …she has shown herself to be different from the expected cookie-cutter mold, can have moods and is probably just as nuts as most of us, but probably outwardly seems more so, as does with most complex artists.
Q: Why doesn’t she make a public statement?
A: Hollywood owns most all major media in the US with strong networks and clout in the UK, and is a multi-billion dollar entity. Nothing gets out without their approval and they can do her more harm should she mess with them too much. She also is under contract when interviewed and is limited as to what she can say, though she has done well in covering most all her bases with implications and particular facts.
Q: Is there hope for a comeback for Gillian Anderson?
A: Yes. Miracles can happen. She would have to become independent in her personal life and focus …not compromising …getting herself together and her means as well. Seeing the pie as a whole and seeing the real issues then relentlessly moving forward with faith and caution, and not being afraid to face truth, bullies and would be bullies can work miracles.
Q: Does she want a comeback?
A: Does a fish want water even if all that’s currently available is a small mud-piss-pond, in the middle of an African dessert, which is only three inches deep and four feet wide? An artist has to produce, not working is the shortest road to insanity—personal death. Even if she has to work as an actor with a small but good local film company that the majority mainstream never heard of, nor likely to hear of, would be a saving grace. Producing|working is an artist’s water. Like, the fish stated above the question is does she want to live …to go on when logically all seems grim? Unknown to the fish it may come a typhoon any hour if it just believes and endures the moment, even if the moment is years. If one doesn’t endure, finish the race they will never get a ribbon. The type of comeback she would probably want would be different from the hoop-la Hollywood pushed on her with the TV series. She’s too real for that …just give her a decent script, with decent supportive directors, producers, film crew, company and fellow actors with realistic time frames and work schedules (that is a miracle) and let her do her thing. Yes, I believe she’s the type that is very strong in that way, and will never give up. You will most likely be hearing more and more from Gillian Anderson, if not in film, then in one of art’s other mediums. Rumor is she is a decent contemporary artist. If she rendered with only commodity type materials and methods, her works could be sold by private brokers as art commodities.

hi thanks for having me:
i've received request to share more regarding certain aspects of my above comments, so i thought i would post this follow up
prelude: as you guys know from earlier post, as a published photo journalist and filmmaker, and living in la …well, corp hollywood is no secret here—though it tries to be—nor is the anderson story …though some deep journalistic investigation works had to be employed. anderson is a smart little thing …she has been leaving breadcrumbs all over the place since 2002, for those who know what to look for.
it is speculated that:
* hollywood didn't 'get' Gillian Anderson: not true …they knew what they had $$$. thing is they couldn’t control her and she refused to be peg-holed or abused (see her past rebel history against the unfair ways of the “man”).
* sinister at work: not really, well I guess if you call the daily routine of how corp, big business does business. Yes I would call it devious, just as much as in any other industry. it’s just a bit more hardball, sly and there’s much more temptations to fool, and lure in unsuspecting young naive artist’s—which anderson admits to publicly.
* NOT lost her looks: she’s a natural; with beautiful female imperfections (that only a vain person would notice at all) that work together in a great package. some kind of inner beauty, which can’t be hidden shows through the lens. it’s obvious she accepts aging, therefore it accepts her, well. at any age she is the type that will shine so bright that the imperfections are not seen ..the whole package just works. she has shown to be the type that doesn’t think she is attractive but doesn’t sweat it ...perhaps that is her beauty secret …humility. She’s casual about it ..a real 2010 kind of look about her (off screen). it seems she is taking more interest lately in her style and appearance as to what is fashionable and cool—she admits to her now and then lazy fashion blunders, however.
* 'You'll never work in this Town again!: she has a contract out on her that is as real as any mafia hit …a black-ball contract which extents strongly in the UK and all US independent films (indi my ass) …anyone who hires her without the approval of corp Hollywood will receive her same fate! she is one of many however, but she’s the top of their list! hers is a bit different in that she became very popular|powerful, and she flat out quite them at a time which cost them millions if not billions, and the timing of what was and still is going on here in Hollywood …with the new hollywood coming on strong and all. to much to state here as to why hers is a unique story …to include (ramble, ramble) she is smart and insured that what happened in 2002 was document (see labor laws for working mothers) and now becoming more public …smart little whip that anderson …cost her though—big time …what doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger! sometimes she has more guts than brains because, as most artists, they can let their heart rule and not their great iq s …this journalist would have invested in a legal team that would scare the hell out of G before taking on a billion dollar corp like hollywood …yet I’m confident she knows that now and seems to be making all the caution, stealth moves …quite impressive actually.
* talented actor: after what this woman has been through that is an understatement of gigantic puportions. most would not have gotten up from it, ever!!! …most don’t. her works prove that she is most believable in any role she renders …and while dealing with the 2002 ptsd which she still endures today …and with projects that are so beneath her abilities. knowing this industry as I do please note that some of …most likely any projects she was in (rubbing it in her face side-line roles) done by, or influenced by the big-6, she had no choice but to humble herself in doing …but she kicked ass and did her best regardless (courage, guts can’t begin to explain this person’s complex makeup). corp is much like the military with an exit, declassification contract in writing and verbal (or threat). corp hollywood can still do her much harm. the 2002 thing is still very much apart of her life which makes the other artists|actors cower in their boots …believe it! …and that is just how corp hollywood likes it. the old Hollywood regime is on the outs however …thank G.
* selfish reasons-xfiles2: the 1st years of motherhood are precious and essential for bonding and corp hollywood stole that from anderson (documented, see contract). anderson is too intelligent, capable and good enough to get involved with corp hollywood again for any reason. if she does x-files2 you can bet she didn’t or couldn’t invest enough in a legal team powerful enough or courageous enough to face off with a billion dollar corp. i’m selfish and want to see her in it but not at that expense to her or any other person. i hate bullies!!! …especially in the arts!!! i say free skully! …i say down with x-files! …i say let anderson work again! with a great project we’ll all forget skully and the x-files quicker than an old lady goin down with a bad hip. SHE IS SO MUCH MORE, talent wise. no one has seen what she can do, yet.
* 'bully attack': bridges, douglas, paltrow and the other old school, old money hollywood clan can tell you all about the “black-ball, scare and slander” management style of old hollywood …1st off, know that they rule just like the military ..you buck them, don’t follow orders …you will be dealt with on the highest level of harshness till death! if they say you will do this movie or whatever, you will or else. at the time—in that decade--anderson was an off the streets young naïve artist with guts, brains, integrity, honesty (in hollywood, unheard of) and beauty with a lot of fight …she fell to realize that one doesn’t take on pure money-worshiping billion $ entities, you will surely loose! this doesn’t mean she is out. unknown to her because she is a true artist, not a politician, …all here in hollywood are waiting for just what and how she will be in this …her story is one that happened to land right in the middle of a war struggle in hollywoood not seen since corp was brought up on charges the last time for monopolies in the arts decades ago, which they have recaptured again just about the time of her arrival. i doubt Anderson really knows that what happened to her had nothing to do with her …she was just a pawn in this bigger picture. she’s figuring it out, it seems, just by the moves she’s making. too much to state here but in closing; mixing business with the arts is a tricky thing …much like mixing oil and water …corp hollywood is just being what they are …you can’t truly hate a bear or a shark for being a predator can you? moreover, there are some very non-corp, extremely talented artists rulers in hollywood but they don’t control things. old Hollywood is done any way. rumor is that that are bust, totally bankrupt …the new hollywood is completely unaffiliated with old hollywood and has simply gone around them (see internet hollywood). that’s where anderson will slip in, count on it. she’s not the type, at least from my research, one who fears at the thought of a good fight or that will ever give up, till death. she’s a scraper …believe it. i’m confident once the legal aspects of her story are smothered in time we will have many movies about her story ..same as marilyn and the like.
-* David: won’t hold it against him but from my research he is a part of her current “black-ball” fate …a no guts wonder, though smart enough to know she was biting off more than she could chew and would take him down with her . in short he abandoned her in her fight against corp for unfair labor practices (hollywood can be a real 3rd world sweatshop, for real). i can’t respect a person who completely abandons a young working mother over G given rights like that of motherhood. in his acts he didn’t fair much better than her, he fell to realize …you make a bargain with a bully and you’ll loose. no one will touch him either because of what he knows about the labor practices involving anderson (see their once intimate relationship). he abandoned her to save his own skin but what he got in return was the same fate she got. they still hate each other …well maybe not hate …blame each other if you will. it’s a sad thing all around. hope they grow from it. i like his works a lot …not his principles. i would not choose him for a friend.
* PS: unFame is one of the new hollywood web sites supporting the arts. they have a special feature posted …an essay “The Back Rooms of Hollywood” it gives detailed info of the real hollywood (it’s quite accurate) and its bully tactics and use anderson as the catalyst for the essay ..at least i think it’s her …they don’t say for sure.
see, unFame.com
thanks again, the vishitor
