Gillian Anderson Urges Haters to Give New ‘X-Files’ a Chance

Gillian Anderson wants fans to have an “open mind” when they see the new The X-Files reboot from Sinners director Ryan Coogler.

Anderson has had “a few conversations” with Coogler since he began developing the series for Hulu, she told journalist Dory Jackson at Awesome Con. “He’s such a cool guy, so talented,” Anderson also said, “and the pilot script is really good.” She went on to ask that fans of the original series “have an open mind and give it a chance because it is gonna be f---ing cool. It really is.”

The original Scully added, “It’s something different. It’s not… It’s different, and it’s special, so—give it a break.”
