Ryan Coogler Teases Epic X-Files Reboot with Possible Gillian Anderson Return!

BBG News

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to see the groundbreaking work of director Ryan Coogler continuing to make waves in the film industry. Not only is his latest action-horror masterpiece, “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan, receiving rave reviews, but he’s now setting his sights on television with a reimagining of a cherished science fiction series – none other than “The X-Files.” In an exciting turn of events, Coogler has been in talks with Gillian Anderson about the possibility of her reprising her iconic role. I can hardly wait to see what he brings to this beloved franchise!

In the ’90s, it became a television sensation by merging multiple genres such as supernatural tales, horror, mystery, science fiction, and thriller. This style fits perfectly with Coogler’s expertise, who has successfully directed and written numerous hit movies, including Marvel’s Black Panther.

When asked if original series lead Gillian Anderson might appear in the revamped show, director Coogler indicated that they had made a connection, expressing this as: “We’ve managed to establish a link with her.

She’s extraordinary, let’s hope for the best. We plan to create something exceptional, buddy, and it’ll be a treat especially for die-hard ‘X-Files’ enthusiasts while hopefully attracting some new ones as well.

In a humble manner, the accomplished director, known for films like “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed,” the “Black Panther” series, and now “Sinners,” where even his lowest rated film has a score in the 80s on Rotten Tomatoes, responded. Balancing the addition of his unique style with preserving some of the original’s classic charm will be crucial for the reboot he is undertaking.

The X-Files” made its debut on September 10, 1993, on FOX, becoming one of the most popular science fiction TV shows. Created by Chris Carter, it ran for nine seasons with a total of 202 episodes. The series centers around FBI agents Fox Mulder, portrayed by David Duchovny, and Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson, who investigate mysterious cases collectively known as the X-files – these are unexplained incidents involving supernatural occurrences. Carter drew inspiration for this series from various sources, including Rod Serling’s 1959 anthology series The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, and Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Could Give ‘X-Files’ Fans A Taste of How He’ll Handle the Reboot

Currently, “Sinners” boasts an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has garnered praise from figures such as LeBron James and Spike Lee for its compelling plotline and filmmaking techniques. The story unfolds in the Mississippi Delta of 1932, with Michael B. Jordan portraying twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, who find themselves confronting a malevolent supernatural force upon their homecoming.

As a movie aficionado, I must say that the grisly violence and chilling narrative of “Sinners” offers a tantalizing glimpse into what Ryan Coogler might bring to the table for the X-Files reboot. With his knack for crafting visually stunning films, he could certainly elevate the series’ aesthetic appeal on screen. Moreover, his ability to tell a compelling story without excessive scene stretching is commendable. Although there’s no timeline set for the reboot, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect another Ryan Coogler success story in the making.
