According to an interview released just minutes ago on Futon Critic, Gillian Anderson is no longer attached to Frank Spotnitz' new series, Morton.

Gillian was first in consideration for the project 2 years ago when Frank began talking to her about doing a spy series. When asked by Jim Halterman why Gillian was no longer attached to the project, Frank responded that he thought the reason was that it took longer than expected and, "by the time we had our yes she couldn't do it anymore." The interview also confirms that the role Gillian was to take on in Morton was written specifically for her.

Frank admits there will be differences, but that the scripts will be written before filming begins in the fall.

XFN first reported on Gillian's possible involvement back in January.
