The Beeb is reporting that there is a new X-Files movie on the way. Both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are on board.
Also in the sci-fi realm and of interest to Torchwood & Doctor Who fans is this interview with John Barrowman who plays Captain Jack. It covers a lot of ground including Jack's omnisexuality (and the fact that Barrowman is gay) and that he grew up in Aurora and Joliet, Illinois. Just like me, he spent his youth watching Doctor Who on channel 11, the PBS affiliate in Chicago:
“PBS played a huge part in my growing up [in the U.S.]. It was the only station that showed BBC programming at the time. Those Sunday night blocks -- It was ‘Dave Allen at Large,’ ‘The Two Ronnies,’ ‘Monty Python,’ then you had Doctor Who...
Monty Python was on at 10 and then Dave Allen or Two Ronnies at 10:30 and then Doctor Who at 11. I was so happy to become a pubescent because that meant I was finally old enough for my parents to allow me to stay up late, especially on a school night.
Barrowman also talks about the upcoming season of Torchwood which will guest star James Marsters who played Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Here’s what he had to say about Marsters’ second-season guest spot: “There’s a scene between he and Jack when they first meet, all I’ll say is, this scene is so hot, so horny, so violent, that all the fans who watch it are going to [er, appreciate it greatly].”
For any American viewers who haven't seen Torchwood yet, it will begin airing on BBC America on 8 September. Unfortunately, the episodes will be cut for time and content so I recommend downloading the program instead.
