Just as we're all gearing up to catch Scully Gillian Anderson on the big screen in the upcoming X-Files movie, Anderson is preparing to produce and star in a biopic about Martha Gellhorn.

Anderson's production company acquired the rights to Caroline Moorehead's biography of Gellhorn, who is described as "a trailblazing female war correspondent who covered conflicts from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam and weathered strife in personal relationships that included a failed marriage to Ernest Hemingway."

According to Anderson, "Martha Gellhorn was one of the most respected journalists of this century, and I thought Caroline's biography effectively encompassed her rich and complex life." I love watching Gillian Anderson onscreen; she brings an air of intelligence to everything she does.

What do you think of Gillian Anderson in a role that doesn't involve the paranormal?

    I agree, Gillian Anderson is a wonderful actress, and it doesn't hurt that she resembles Gellhorne.

    I think Anderson is one of the most talent and under appreciated actresses working today. I hope this gives her the recognition she deserves.

    I love Gillian!!! Now, could one of the sugars give her a profile already? If Pete Doherty has one(known for his bad behavior) why doesn't GA?

    she's a very good and underrated actress, I would love to see her do something other than x-files. Outside that, I only saw her in The last king of Scotland, I wished her character was a bit more developed.
