David Duchovny told Deadline that there are so many issues to try and get through, particularly AI. “I think the powers that be have a lot on their plate right now with trying to figure out, kicking the can down the road with the AI stuff. What is it capable of? They’re philosophical questions,” he said.
Duchovny also highlighted streaming residuals. “We always worked in a business that rewarded success and didn’t want failure. Now, we have these opaque streamers who kind of tell us what’s a success and what’s a failure and I wouldn’t trust an employer to tell me how well I’m doing,” he added.
He was joined on the reunion by the likes of Annabeth Gish. “It’s an inflection point time and we’re all out here just really fighting for what we deserve. As someone who has endured and lived through the golden age, the golden age is gone, unfortunately. The residual pool can’t carry us over like it used to and it’s got to change,” Gish told.
Honestly, it’s such a great picture considering how this year marks the x-files thirty anniversary. What a way to honor the show and fight the good fight against the system !🙏❤️ #SAGAFTRAStrong #WGAStrong pic.twitter.com/7FNUDkVZyS
