Filming got underway on Thursday afternoon as Gillian Anderson shot her first dramatic scenes for the new series of The X-Files.
The American actress, who plays FBI agent Dana Scully in the long-running show, looked bloody and bruised while shooting a pivotal car crash sequence on location in Vancouver, Canada.
With bloody wounds surrounding her left eye, Gillian, 49, appeared to be appropriately shaken as co-star Robbie Amell’s Agent Kyd Miller – an FBI colleague who believes in the paranormal – eased her from the front passenger seat of her damaged car.
