Thats right! David Duchovny has told the press that there is for sure plans for another film. I guess it won't be about aliens but more of a supernatural horror film. Which is awesome, because its good to get away from the whole Gov't conspiracy thing.
Anyways I'm really excited. Its been my favorite show and I'm happy to see it coming back!

Chris Carter has made comments about it recently too. No script has been written and nobody's committed to the film yet, but I'd love another movie. I miss the TV show.

I think they have a story and I think they are comitted. I forgot to tell you that Duchovny has said there is plans to shoot the film later this year or the beginning of 2006. Hopefully later this year.

Hope for an X-Files 2
Carter prepares for a sequel...
November 23, 2004 - According to the latest issue of SFX Magazine, Chris Carter, writer and producer of the hit TV series The X-Files, is currently negotiating the deal for a second X-Files feature film.
"We are in negotiations right now," Carter told the magazine. "And because it's a sequel, there are peculiar and specific kinds of negotiations that are holding us up. I think that there's an appetite for it, but I think that it's got to be good. People won't just go and see anything. Whatever happens, I'm going to do something good that people will want to go and see regardless."
David Duchovny, who played Agent Mulder in the series and in the first movie, has said he misses X-Files and would definitely like to make another picture. Co-star Gillian Anderson has also shown interesting in one or more sequels.
X-Files had a fairly successful release in 1998 and significantly advanced the conspiracy storyline of the concurrent television series. Though many secrets were revealed by the series finale, much fodder for a second film remains.

Cult sci-fi series THE X-FILES is returning to the big screen for one final showdown.
The show's star, DAVID DUCHOVNY, has confirmed he's working with X-Files creator CHRIS CARTER on one more project, which he hopes will be released next year (06).
Duchovny tells music website MTV.COM, "It'll be a stand-alone horror movie. (The characters) MULDER and SCULLY investigate one particular case that has nothing to do with alien life. It has to do with supernatural stuff."
Sorry, but they've been saying this since the year after the first movie came out. I'll believe it when I see it.

X-Files movie sequel planned? Slow down...
1/20/2005 11:30:23 AM, by Ken "Caesar" Fisher
I know it's been like Entertainment Weekly around here with all this discussion of entertainment news, but I have to share this one. Being a long-time fan but late-comer to the world of the X-Files, I've been hankering for Chris Carter to return to what he does best. And let's face it, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, for better or for worse, are really only interesting when they're doing the X-Files.
Earlier this week David Duchovny told the UK's Sun Online that that an X-Files movie sequel is in fact planned, saying that "[w]e're hoping to get together just under a year from now and make another X Files movie." He noted that Gillian Anderson has not signed on yet, but Duchovny's statements indicate that the script—a collaboration between Carter and with Frank Spotnitz—is not yet finished. Duchovny made similar comments at the recent Critics Choice Awards, as well. However, when TV Guide got word of this, they did a little fact checking and called up Chris Cater.
"There's nothing at the moment going on," Chris Carter's agent, Elliott Webb, says. "There is no negotiation, there's no script written, there's nothing other than a desire for people to get together."
Sadly, it looks like Duchovny may just be champing at the bit. Nevertheless, his comments to the Sun Online are interesting, if only for revealing what he expects to come of the movie, should the "desire" for the movie actually produce one. If and when it is finished, Duchovny says we'll get a movie that shies away from the master story arc concerning alien conspiracies and all of that in favor of a nice paranormal freakshow.
"I think we're going back to the ‘monster of the week' type feel, where if you're not an avid fan and don't understand the mythology you can still come to it and get the movie, Duchovny said. "Especially because at this point I think some people would have forgotten what the mythology was or what happened in seasons two, three and four."
The TV show was apt dealing with "monster of the week" themes, even if Scully did get annoying with her constant amazement that Mulder would believe in something paranormal. The question is whether or not old X-Files fans are going to be content with a X-Files horror flick.
When the X-Files was still in production for TV, Duchovny got the seven-year itch and wanted out, so the last two years of the series were largely devoid of his presence. Now not only does he want back in, but he says that he'd like to see the X-Files turned into a movie franchise. Whatever his motivations, I for one would like to see new life under the X-Files name.
It's too bad it's not "in the works" now, I'd love to see it, whether supernatural or aliens or whatever. The chemistry between the characters is what draws me in and hopefully that would be there no matter what sort of creature they are fighting against. Of course that only stands if Duchovny and Anderson play the lead roles. Hum ... well, I can always hope for the future ....
