"[ The X-Files] is what I used to watch with my mom. It's one of the most beautiful American television shows ever made."
"When you can capture something that you were influenced by and make something totally new, and any time you watch a TV show or a movie with a skeptic paired with a believer and they try to solve a case, like True Detective season 1, it comes up so many times."
"That show gave us Vince Gilligan. I got to talk to him about how to make television because of this show, so I'm hyped."
Ryan Coogler's reboot of The X-Files is timely, responding to audience demand for classic thrillers about aliens. Coogler has a personal connection to the original series, having watched it with his mother. The reboot will feature new agents played by Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler, aiming to fully reboot the series rather than recreate the original characters. Coogler cites the influence of the original series and its impact on creators like Vince Gilligan as significant inspirations for his new project.
