Indy 4 is the one movie that I'm more interested in than this but I'm still pretty damn excited.  |

Re: Second X-Files Movie in 2006 (Now Maybe 2008?)
I think the stars just sorta aligned to get this going:
Duchovny has a new show which has raised his profile
The script is ready pre-strike
Doing a "monster of the week"-style script as opposed to a big sci-fi spectacle will likely result in this being pretty moderately-budgeted which makes it a pretty safe bet even if it isn't a huge blockbuster.
Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!
Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

Re: Second X-Files Movie in 2006 (Now Maybe 2008?)
As deliciously, effervescently excited as I am about this news, didn't the series end with a major, portentous cliffhanger??? How can they do just a "monster-of-the-week" story after all this time like damn near Armageddon isn't a few short years away? They better get a promise from 20th Century Fox that, no matter how movie #2 performs, they'll greenlight #3 so we can get true resolution to the entire mythology arc.

Re: Second X-Files Movie in 2006 (Now Maybe 2008?)
I've discussed that on other forums.
There are rumors that they are going the "lost episode" route and this new movie will take place somewhere during season 7. That obviously has the downside of not being able to really have any repercussions whatsoever but it would allow them to bring back the supporting cast, almost all of which was dead by the time the series ended.
A "monster of the week" movie with Mulder & Scully as FBI agents is gonna be a bigger crowd-pleaser than a "mythology" movie that continues the mytharc but making the more crowd-pleasing movie can only help the chances of the riskier one being made.
Look at it this way:
S
P
O
I
L
E
R
S
P
A
C
E
In the final episode Mulder found out that there will be an alien invasion on December 22, 2012. December 21, 2012 is a Friday and that's roughly four and a half years after the release date of the new movie. I don't think the 10-year gap between "X-Files" movies really counts because the show was on the air for nearly half that time but 4 and a half years between the second and third films is certainly feasible.
I say let them make a pile of money off of this one and use that as a springboard for the more fan-centric movie. The whole thing is very marketable too, they marketing potential in counting down to a massive alien invasion is pretty obvious, and I can see networks like the History Channel running a lot of stuff about the Mayan calendar since most calculations put it between December 21 and 23rd 2012 (which is obviously where they got the idea) and then when the world doesn't end Fox can say it was because Mulder & Scully stopped the invasion.

According to TV.com, it's also being shot in Vancouver. Overall, I enjoyed the episodes shot in Los Angeles but I'm happy to see them head back to their roots.

I also remember reading that this film actually takes place sometime earlier.
So dont expect any resolution from the end of the series.

I feel the same about the next Star Trek movie.

As the biggest Trekker I know, I cannot share this sentiment. I still dread THE YOUNG KIRK AND SPOCK CHRONICLES...

Sorry, you don't know me. I grew up with these guys. I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing the original trio reborn.
