Scoring Stage Visit: The X-Files: I Want to Believe

On 20th Century Fox’s scoring stage, producer Frank Spotnitz and composer Mark Snow seem to share the energetic second wind of two artist who know they’re in the home stretch. Months after we were invited out to the set of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (read Ryan Rotten’s report here), the pair are overseeing the scoring of the same scene we witnessed with intense, booming notes that mark a decided departure from the television series to something much grander on-screen.
Snow, who scored the series from its very first episode (including 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future feature film), has evolved as a composer, moving across dozens of other projects since the series premiered in 1993. He concentrates on the images on-screen, syncing his orchestral sound with the picture.
By his side stands Spotnitz who - joining Chris Carter’s 10:13 Productions in the The X-Files‘ second season - has been working on the show for nearly as long. He wrote nearly 50 of the series’ episodes, shares a story credit on Fight the Future with Carter and co-penned/produced I Want to Believe.

David Duchovny and Gilian Anderson Interviews from the X-Files Press Call
X-Files Stars Got Frozen
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, who reprise their most famous roles in the upcoming sequel film The X-Files: I Want to Believe, told reporters that they find it hard to complain about shooting the movie in the cold and snow of Vancouver, Canada, last year, but that it presented a challenge nonetheless.
“Let me try to say this in a way that, just in quotation marks, is going to get me in trouble,” Duchovny said in a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., over the weekend. “I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world, for almost three weeks. Pity me.”
But, Duchovny added, “It’s hard. The logistics of it is, if you’re out in the middle of nowhere, and you’re running around in the freezing rain and the snow, you don’t get a chance to go off and warm up in your trailer, because you’re seeing so much [of the scenery in the frame], your trailer is on the other side of town. So you are stuck in clothes that are not fitting for the environment for a long time. So, yeah, it’s a pain in the ass, but you just suck it up, and it’s not going to be that long. Your feet are cold, … and your ass is cold, and your hands are cold and your muscles are cold. But you suck it up.” READ THE REST ON SCIFI WIRE

Fear Net Interview
It was a long time coming, but the newest X-Files movie is finally here. Six years after the series ended, and a decade since the first movie, The X-Files: I Want to Believe reunites Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, as agents Scully and Mulder, investigating the weird and the unexplained. The X-Files: I Want to Believe sees a reluctant Mulder and an even more reluctant Scully assist the FBI in the hunt for a missing agent, where the only lead they have is a defrocked Catholic priest with psychic visions, played with brilliant subtlety by Billy Connolly. In between bantering, Gillian and David spoke with us at this week’s X-Files press junket at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills about returning to the roles that made them famous. Trust no one if you must us, but trust us on this – the following is one of the most definitive X-Files interviews you’re ever likely to read…
Can you talk about getting back into these characters after a five or six year period?
Duchovny: Well, I had two weeks before Christmas of basically running around and chasing Callum Rennie, who plays the running bad guy that I chase all over the place. That took a good two full weeks of running, even though I know it’s only about ten seconds in the movie. Gillian and I started working [together] after Christmas break. In the first two weeks I felt a little awkward and I didn’t really feel like I wanted to do longer scenes. I was just fine running around. Then as soon as Gillian and I started working and it was Mulder and Scully, then I kind of remembered what it was all about, and that relationship kind of anchored my performance just as I think the relationship anchors this film.
Anderson: I had a similar experience. I didn’t have all the running around that David had to do, but I did have my own unfortunate beginning which was starting with one of the most difficult scenes for Scully in the film. It’s later on in the script, and she goes through a range of emotions in confronting Billy Connolly’s character. I had a really hard time just finding her, finding her voice. I think I must’ve gone through ten other characters in the process of trying to get to her, when I had assumed that I would be able to show up on the first day and it would just be there. It wasn’t until, I think, day three when we got to work together, in the environment of each other and the relationship, that it kind of felt natural and familiar and I felt like I’d landed this time.

EXTRA Special with David and Gillian
The X-Files: Mulder and Wiser
FIFTEEN years after finding fame playing FBI agent Fox Mulder in TV hit The X-Files, David Duchovny is returning to the role that made him a household name.
Duchovny, who walked away from the series in 2002 after playing the iconic investigator of the paranormal for nine years, says he was surprised how challenging it was returning to the career-making role.
“I thought I would fall back into Mulder very naturally, but at first playing the character felt a little odd,” he says.
“I didn’t want to make any drastic changes in the way I played Mulder because the character is so well-known, but of course I’m older now, and so is Mulder, so some things had to change.
“I think it would have been depressing if I had to try to play him the same way I did 15 years ago when I started. Read the rest of this entry »
Preview Features on I Want to Believe
Mulder and Scully Believe in the X-Files Audience
LOS ANGELES — Some Mulder and Scully fans were dubious when the title for the new movie based on their favorite TV show was announced: “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.”
How, the skeptics wondered, could the two former FBI agents be anything but true believers after years of encountering aliens, monsters, ghosts and everything else that might go bump in the night?
But so-called X-Philes want to believe in this franchise that started way out on the fringes and eventually brought the creepy and paranormal into the mainstream. The feeling among its creators is mutual.
“We want to believe in the audience,” said David Duchovny, who reprises his role as Fox Mulder, the guy with boogeymen on the brain, co-starring with Gillian Anderson as his soul mate and doubting Thomas, science-minded Dana Scully. Read the rest of this entry »
