She looks like the love child of Rachel Wiesz and Julianne Moore.

Not that that's a bad thing, only she really doesn't look anything like her(lovely)self! 

"what the hell happend to her face?" - you are so right! OMG, seriously, who thought that that looked better than the real gillian? the second picture is even worse than the first. she looks a bit like a doll or like a wax figure at madame tussauds - her wax figure would probably look better than those pictures!! did they mess with her eye colour as well?? kinda looks like it...

I don't understand...she's so hot, why do they make her look...that way.

I personally think that Gillian was a victim of an identity stealing superhuman...she is out there somewhere and we need to save her.

Maybe it's a marketing trick, like you suggest, Snarker? Fans see the cover, notice that something just ain't right, and instantly get back in that awesome, followed-me-through-the-90s-and-beyond, creepy X-Files mood? It'll make us buy movie tickets and dig out our old scrapbooks of Scully.

Well, it's working on me, because I've got but one thing to say: I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE.

Informal poll: Who was "turned" by Gillian" Come on, own up, ladies!

is TV Guide's homage to sci fi movie posters/bookcovers, & not just a straight up airbrushed promo pic gone wrong..  Those mulder & scully faces remind me of stuff i saw in Forbidden Planet last week.  BTW in my humble opinion - for a great look on G Anderson check out Bleak House..

What has happened to her face? 

Is it evil artist work or is it the real... plastic stuff? (Hope not!!)

Love/ingrid 

David got his share of Clone-Tool-Pimping too...significantly less, but still.. they both look like digital paintings.

Actually there are digital paintings out there that look more human. This photo editor oughta pay them some serious look...

What the hell? That's creepy. She doesn't look like herself at all. And since they're so fond of Photoshop, what, couldn't they fix the colors a bit? They're both yellow.

Even DD looks like a bum who was just given some new clothes and shoved in front of a camera.

I actually saw the TV Guide while I was waiting in my doctor's office yesterday and I immediately thought....."Whoever took this picture did an unflattering job!"  That does not look like the G.A. I've known and loved over the years!

(But she's still sexy!)

You know, lousy jobs on photoshopping like this are the source of false accusations of plastic surgery. Give Gillian her face back!

I don't get it, anyway. She's beautiful in her natural way. Maybe leaving a photo unedited will raise some eyebrows, at least it will be human...

I think that one of the problems is that although she seems to be smirking a bit on the left side of her face, apparently the aliens helped her achieve a smile with absolutely no smile lines.

Uh, and the eyes are kinda freaking me out a bit.

My eyes, my eyes!

Okay, seriously, I can deal with a little airbrushing for inconsequential things (like, say, a wonky-looking strand of hair in front of the eye), but what the eff are these people smoking?  Did Gillian Anderson show up late to the shoot and make some photoshop-trigger-happy nutjob take revenge into his own hands?  Good God.

I guess at least the movie is getting some publicity now though.  My sister and I were both wondering recently why there haven't been any commercials playing for the movie when it's coming out in just a few weeks.  What's up with that anyway?
