Scully Returns? X-Files Reboot Pilot Script Praised
25 Mar
Summary
- Gillian Anderson shared positive thoughts on the X-Files reboot pilot script.
- Oscar-winner Ryan Coogler is writing and directing the new pilot.
- The reboot features two FBI agents investigating unexplained phenomena.
A pilot for a new X-Files series is in development at Hulu, helmed by Oscar-winning writer and director Ryan Coogler.
Gillian Anderson, who famously portrayed Agent Dana Scully in the original series, has indicated a positive outlook on the project, having had conversations with Coogler and calling the pilot script "really good."
She expressed enthusiasm for the reboot, describing it as "different" and "special," and encouraged fans to approach it with an open mind.
Danielle Deadwyler is slated to co-lead the pilot, playing one of two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents.
They will reportedly form an unlikely bond when assigned to a long-defunct division focused on cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Jennifer Yale is set to serve as showrunner for the supernatural series.
Coogler himself has previously hinted at the project's potential, aiming to create "really f***ing scary" episodes for dedicated fans and to attract new viewers.
The original X-Files series, starring Anderson and David Duchovny as Agents Scully and Mulder, originally aired on Fox from 1993 to 2002 and spawned two films and a 2016 revival.
