Anderson threatens growing career?
Gillian Anderson is starring in the first English language film from the German Writer and Director Sandra Nettelbeck with her film Helen.
Helen tells the story of a successful and talented professor, played by Anderson, who suffers from clinical depression and sees her life fall apart around her. She then fights to overcome her illness, which she probably does.
There's more information about the production, who's behind it and what other films that they are involved in over at Variety, but that's not really why I picked up the story, it's Gillian Anderson.
She's really going from strength to strength of late. It's taken her an age to shake off that X-Files persona but she's finally managed it and is producing some great performances in some varied roles, the latest being Straightheads.
Now though it looks like she's set to go back to the X-Files and I find myself wondering what she's thinking, surely she can't need the money that much that she would risk the diverse career that she's just starting to really be noticed for?
