HBO’s Greatest Masterpiece Deserves a Remake, and ‘X-Files’ Gillian Anderson Is the Obvious Choice

Collider · 4 hours ago

Actors Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder sat down for a Collider Ladies Night interview to promote their new film, Jane Schoenbrun's *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma*, in which Anderson plays a reclusive former slasher-film star and Einbinder plays a filmmaker sent to persuade her to revive the franchise. During the chat, the pair played a game called Dicey Questions, leading Einbinder to suggest that Anderson would make an ideal choice to headline a hypothetical remake of HBO's *The Sopranos*, casting her as a female version of Tony Soprano.

The playful exchange saw Anderson first jokingly propose Einbinder for the *Pitch Perfect* franchise after establishing she could sing, before Einbinder countered with her Sopranos pitch, which Anderson greeted with laughter and approval. While the idea remains speculative and was raised only as part of a lighthearted interview game, the piece argues Anderson's track record for complex, commanding roles makes her plausible casting for such a part. *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma* is now showing in cinemas.
