Anderson, Duchovny and Carter agreed they wanted to do this movie even as the show was beginning to wrap. Even if the film does reinforce her perceived union with Scully, the trade off is worth it, she says.
"I wasn't gonna let this experience of this reunion pass by because that might be the case," the actress explains. And, she adds, "I don't think that will happen. I've done enough stuff already and . . . have things scheduled for the future that are different, so I don't think that will be an issue."
High on that list of upcoming projects is a biopic of Martha Gellhorn, a pioneering 20th-century journalist and third wife of Ernest Hemingway. .
The actress is also slated to appear as Nora in Ibsen's "A Doll's House," at the Donmar Warehouse in London next spring.
Last week began an online auction of hundreds of bits of "X-Files" paraphernalia Anderson had been keeping in storage for the past few years. Going through the boxes with an assistant was "kind of like Christmas," she said. Some of the artifacts "are quite intimate and special, so uncovering those and remembering that time was really cool."
There's been a lot of that -- remembering -- since the old team began shooting their new movie in December. But in the midst of it, it wasn't just remembering. It was something more like savoring.
"It was definitely a reunion for all of us. The odd thing is, as much as you build things up and as much as you get excited . . . it very quickly, within the first week, becomes a job," she said. "It just becomes about survival through the hours and the weather and all that stuff.
"And you have to keep pinching yourself and waking up and going, 'Hang on a second -- hang on to this! 'Cause this may be the last time.' "
