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?
