I have complete faith in Ryan Coogler and his vision… He’s knocked it out of the park for every movie that he’s directed so far.

A completely new idea would be a lot cooler.

I’m still confused by the last two seasons reboot.

This is the most excited she’s sounded about X Files in ages.

The fact that Coogler could do anything he wants and he goes to X Files makes me really curious what he’s planning.
whitepangolin on
Are she and David Duchovny in this or no?

Anderson’s endorsement carries weight yet…
reboots just, don’t have it.
Cipher-IX on
Correct.

Considering Hulu is producing it, I expect to eventually read about how they decided to pull the show and not release it.

I mean, how the fuck would she know?
Everything Ryan does is about race. And, I know Ill get downvotes, but I just cant be arsed with any more blunt American politics in tv shows and movies. I want an escape from the horrors of the world, not a constant reminder every time I change the channel.
You can all hate me now. I accept that I am in the minority.

The same was said about the Twilight Zone remake and then they had a terrible CGI Rod Serling dragged through the dirt.

“…….she had had “a few conversations” with the *Sinners* filmmaker, which could lead to her reprising her role of Agent Dana Scully.”
“He’s such a cool guy and so talented,” Anderson said of Coogler, adding that “the pilot script is really good.”
So reading between the lines, home girl basically wants a job and is sucking up to hopefully get a scrap.
/sorry, i like her but not much to see here.

Sinners probably sounded good on paper too

I didn’t hate the last 2 revival seasons, but they’re better off scrapping the entire mythology and going their own direction with it.
