Gillian AndersonWashington (ANI): The fate of a low budget movie was put in doubt after its female lead actress Gillian Anderson decided to take up the offer to star in the new X-Files film. Anderson was supposed to play the lead role in 'Helen', but pulled out just weeks before filming started as shooting conflicted with the X-Files movie. Her spokesperson insists that the decision to leave the film had been a tough one for the star, and that she wished the other members well.

"She had to make a difficult decision but the project remains close to her heart. She wishes it well," Contactmusic quoted the spokesperson, as saying. Anderson, who had previously insisted she was finished with the popular sci-fi franchise, but admitted that time had changed her mind.

"It was not something I longed for on a regular basis but as soon as we start talking about doing it again I get very excited. A lot has happened in the past few years but we are excited by each other's company and I think it will be loads of fun," she said.

unFame says: “X Files 2” Gillian Anderson Bullied Again by Nazi Hollywood. anderson knew that she would have to make a statement to old hollywood’s 2007 most recent public threat towards her, in making this x files 2—manipulating, her involvement. anderson is wise in addressing this. see, closely, her chosen words. her statements have been in two parts. 1. first was to ensure her fans that she does care for them. 2. then her recent follow up public statements screamed to old hollywood, don’t even think about fooling around with me or my family again. (see her bringing up her documented, 2002 untold story. response to the latter will no doubt be the doctored lovemaking photos posted with hollywood’s gossip sites, when negotiating threatening oh, have you seen (don’t be mislead by the date on the article): A Lot Of Questions Here: did she give her permission for the photos displayed? ...how did they get the photos? ...why can’t anderson fight back? ...who do you think owns or controls that site? ...why haven’t duchovny, carter, spotnitz, who are in the article attached to the photos, not protested—why did they not protest anderson’s abuse in 2002? ...is anderson being blackmailed? what would you do if all abandoned you while Nazis stole your first motherhood—under contract—2002—tried to destroy your rep, and ability to work again in your field ever? what would you do if this perpetrator publicly, freely raped your life, your only daughter’s life—while co-workers watched on, 2002--then returned in 5 years insisting you work for them? if anderson does xfiles2 it’s likely that there’s something extreme over her. the aug 2007 script excuse, really might be when calling anderson to show up on set the only response is...ring, ring!...ring, ring!...ring, ring! best wishes, thanks for having me
