Second X-Files Movie in 2006 (Now Maybe 2008?)
From TVGuide.com:
Quote:

SPOOKY SPEAKS: The truth is out there about the long-awaited second X-Files flick. Actually, the truth was in Wednesday's USA Today, but that's neither here nor there. David Duchovny told the paper that he expects to shoot the sequel later this year or early in 2006. "It'll be a stand-alone horror movie," he said. "Mulder and Scully investigate one particular case that has nothing to do with alien life. It has to do with supernatural stuff."

I've been wondering if the next X-Files movie would ever happen, coming from Duchovny, this is good news. |

I was thinking this would never happen. I gave up on the show for its last few seasons, but I really liked the first movie. This franchise is capable of great things.

Every 2nd or 3rd month Duchovny chimes in with an X-Files sequel tidbit. Its hard to really say if it will happen though - could an X-Files movie draw big box office nowadays?

Duchovny needs a job....
Good lord, there's nothing worse than the foul stench of desperation when someone wants to be famous.

For this movie they should just pretend that everything that came after the last movie didn't happen.

That's good news if it is accurate. For the most part, I always thought that the show was at it's strongest when it was doing the 'monster of the week' type episodes. I never much cared for most of the ongoing conspiracy episodes. Maybe I'm in the minority, but that's how I feel.

I liked both the monster of the week AND conspiracy episodes, at least those before the first movie (season 1-5). Season 6 was decent too but after that

I stopped watching after season5.
I thought Fox and Chris Carter had gone seperate ways.

I'd love a non-mythology movie (with Duchovny, Anderson AND Patrick), which might have more general appeal. But enough to be successful?

A new X-Files movie with Fox and Scully has a much better chance at being successful than the planned movies for Firefly and Babylon 5. IMHO, of course.

The mythology has definitely run it's course, a MOTW movie with some character development for Mulder and Scully would be best for the next movie.

I always felt the poor show really jumped the shark after they moved the production from Vancouver to L.A. for season 6. The first movie was still a solid effort, though, even if it ultimately didn't answer much or advance the 'mythology' in any significant way. Those stories on the show were always the most circular, confusing, and contradictory, anyway...it was far more fun as an anthology series with our heroes dropped into a different predicament every week. A second movie in this format, perhaps set sometime earlier in the show's history, could be a BLAST. It's not at all difficult to spin a good stand-alone yarn a little further back in a fictional timeline, after all A. Conan Doyle had Sherlock Holmes solve The Hound of the Baskervilles after the character was supposedly dead. Just having Mulder and Scully, old quirks intact, sleuthing around on the big screen again would be a great reminder of the potential the idea once had and still could have...
