Back in the day, I caught an episode or two of "The X-Files." So when I got the call to cover the red carpet for the "X-Files: I Want to Believe" premiere, I was down to catch a sneak peek of the fabulous Gillian Anderson, a.k.a. Agent Scully.

I knew it was gonna be an interesting night when I pulled into the parking structure, got out of my car, headed to the elevator and was followed by the Joker. Good ol' Hollywood impersonators. Needless to say, I was taking the stairs.

Once I made it to the blocked-off streets of Hollywood, I was reminded of how popular the show is. There were legions of fans out there supporting those alien-chasing agents. Sometime later, the stars and makers of the film hit the red carpet, including David Duchovny, Anderson, Xzibit, director/writer Chris Carter and even the guy who made the creepy "X-Files" theme song! I hummed it for him, and he asked if he could sample my voice. I kid you not!

By far my favorite interview was with the man behind "300" and "Sin City": Frank Miller. He was gracious enough to give me some details about his upcoming movie, "The Spirit." And when I asked him how he comes up with all these crazy films he said, "To scare people like you." Yikes!

"Are they still planning to do that?" she asked incredulously. "You're the first one telling me about it."

Last month, an article in "The Hollywood Reporter" reinforced that the highly-anticipated sequel is still scheduled to hit theaters sometime in 2009. With all the CGI involved, one would think they'd have to begin shooting soon -- but such principal talents as Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez are otherwise occupied, and actors like Bledel report that their phones haven't rung.

After co-directing "Sin City" and fueling the story behind "300," does comic book creator Frank Miller have the helming chops to shepherd a project to the big screen on his own? That's the big question as Miller works to adapt Will Eisner's legendary character The Spirit. Recently, MTV News was invited to the film's set where we spoke to Miller and his cast and crew. Below, see an image from the production, and then click here to read the full report from our visit to "The Spirit."
