 “THE X-FILES” RETURNS TO FOX

Emmy Award-winning Pop Culture Phenomenon

From Chris Carter Is Back as Six-Episode Event Series

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to Reprise Their Roles as

FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully

Thirteen years after the original series run, FOX has ordered the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, six-episode event series which will be helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.

The announcement was made today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group and Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of THE X-FILES. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015. Further details remain under wraps and will be announced at a later date.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of THE X-FILES – one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers – and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,” remarked Newman and Walden. “THE X-FILES was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as THE X-FILES, and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993.  Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

Produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ten Thirteen Productions, THE X-FILES is created and executive-produced by Chris Carter.

GEEK 2015 - Interactive Experience - Real-life-point-and-click Adventure

Ever thought what it would be like getting sucked into a painting? No me neither, but then again this seems interesting.

"Take part in a real-life point-and-click video game that journeys through art history."

So what's all this actually about then?
Well...

Misuse of an experimental machine capable of sending people INSIDE works of art has dangerous consequences. The faces have disappeared from some of history’s most beautiful and significant self-portraits due to a slight mishap during a test flight of Endless Horizon Ltd's innovative new venture into Art Tourism.

Audiences are invited to join the team behind this experimental machine to rectify this terrible situation, enlisting the help of the Flemish, 17th Century, court painter Sir Anthony van Dyck, travelling through time, genres and styles to save the canon of art.

"Endless Horizons Ltd. have developed an incredible machine that is capable of sending people INSIDE works of art. One day the machine will make it possible for holiday-makers to catch a mini-break arranging Van Gogh’s sunflowers, bathing on Turner’s beaches or swimming in Warhol’s tomato soup."

"To test the machine Endless Horizons Ltd. have acquired three famous self-portraits from the Turner Contemporary's latest exhibition, Self: image and Identity, and now they just need a group of willing test subjects to make the maiden journey..."

Project director Simon Ryninks: “The Milo Wladek Co. creates narratives that bring together many art forms to give audiences a truly interactive experience. For The Van Dyck Vanishments, we’re creating a real-life video game in the vein of classics like Monkey Island and Broken Sword. Combining film, installation, performance and puzzles, we’re exploring the themes of self-expression and identity that run through the cannon of self portraiture. We’re also creating a downloadable digital app and a boardgame version of the narrative, to engage as many people as possible with its themes and ideas. This is a sprawling, slightly bonkers, but very cool project to be a part of. We’re really looking forward to being let loose on Margate!”

Eric McCormack Interview (2014) - Perception ,Free Enterprise - #UKTVLive

Eric McCormack.

At the UKTV Live event in London I got a chance to meet one of my favourite actors and have a chat about his current show Perception, which airs its 3rd season on Alibi in September, and ask about Free Enterprise one of the best Indie films of the 90's.

Most will recognise him as the lead character of Will from "Will&Grace" which was a great comedy series that ran for 8 seasons that most people I know watched and remember fondly.

More recently Eric has been playing Daniel Pierce in the hit ABC show Perception, which I highly recommend checking out.
I will be reviewing season 3 as it airs in the same way I am doing with Doctor Who season 8.

Also as mentioned "Free Enterprise" is a must watch film for anyone who is a fan of Kevin Smith, "Office Space" or "Fanboys".

The film will feature in my Top Ten Forgotten Rad 90's countdown later in the year.

So check out the interview below.

Rachael Leigh Cook Interview (2014) - Perception - #UKTVLive

With Season 3 of the fantastic Crime Solving Drama series “Perception” Premiering tonight in the UK on Alibi at 9pm, I got a chance to catch up again with the show’s star and last months podcast guest Rachael Leigh Cook.

Perception Season 3 will see FBI Agent Kate Moretti played by Rachael Leigh Cook teaming up once again with Neuroscientist Professor and Schizophrenic Dr Daniel Peirce, played by the wonderful Eric McCormack. Rachael Leigh Cook became part of the new millenniums “American Sweethearts” when she first hit the big screen in She’s All That in 1999, and has gone on to star in films such as Anti Trust, Get Carter, Josie and the Pussycats and Broken Kingdom.

Now as you may have heard on the podcast episode she was the guest on, I have always been a big fan of Rachael Leigh Cook ever since I first saw She’s All That in 1999. She was my Hollywood crush when I was 15 and still to this day looks as stunning as ever, so as you can imagine I was a little more nervous meeting here face to face than on the audio interview for the podcast but she was an absolute pleasure to talk to but the “Dreamweaver” sequence from Wayne’s World pretty much is a perfect example of how it began.

Make sure you don’t miss the Season 3 premier of Perception on Alibi tonight at 9pm and check out the interview below

Please tweet us @BoxOfficeBeyond with your thoughts on the Perception Season 3 premier

Supernatural returns to UK screens in January!

Rejoice! UK fans of the show today were over the moon as Channel 4's sister channel E4 has picked up the hit US series for its 10th season.

UK fans earlier in the year were left heartbroken when ITV announced that along with a handful of other US shows, that it would no longer be showing Supernatural on its ITV2 channel. 

With social media a hub for spoilers and the temptation of torrents, it was no wonder UK fans started dwindling from tuning in on ITV2 as the seasons were airing over a year later than the US broadcasts.

Supernatural Season 10 is penned in to start on E4 in January 2015, which with the Mid-Season break will line up the later half of the season perfectly with the US broadcast. So UK fans can now enjoy the series the right way.

Read the E4 Supernatural press release below

E4 has announced the recruitment of demon hunters Sam and Dean Winchester in an attempt to combat the supernatural forces which are expected to descend upon the channel in early 2015.

Starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (as the Winchesters) alongside Misha Collins (as the angel Castiel), Supernatural Season 9 follows the brothers as they take to the road again in their ’67 Chevy Impala to battle against a world now inhabited by thousands of newly arrived powerful beings. But a dark secret hangs over Dean’s head…and he might have finally crossed the line to protect his brother.

Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is executive produced by Robert Singer, Jeremy Carver, McG and Adam Glass. The series is produced by Wonderland Sound and Vision in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Supernatural is distributed around the world by Warner Bros. International Television Distribution.

Be sure to check back with us for all the latest on Supernatural's season 10 premier in January
