It may be a day late and a dollar short…well more like 3 or 4 years late and a considerably smaller budget, but it looks like now that both of the main stars of the X-Files and series creator Chris Carter’s careers’ have been circling the drain for the past half decade, it’s high time to beat a dead horse:
“‘Chris has written it with Frank Spotnitz, and Chris will direct it,’ Duchovny said. “And [co-star Gillian Anderson is] on board, and I’m on board, and that’s all I can tell you. I mean, I’m looking forward to seeing what he did.”
Rumors of a second film have been circulating since the previous one came out. This time, Duchovny said that the long-anticipated sequel project is finally moving forward.
“Before, I would just say that because they told me,” Duchovny said. “But now I’ve been talking to Chris and he’s been giving me progress reports. He actually called yesterday and said next week we should have something.”
Duchovny added that he’s looking forward to bringing back Mulder because “he’s cool.” Filming for the proposed stand-alone film would begin in November, with an eye toward release in the summer of 2008, he said.”
I remember when Duchovny was adamant on his position not to touch this series again with a 10′ pole, but eating Top Ramen and Mac N’ Cheese out of box does crazy things to peoples’ principles.
I’m totally kidding of course, I loved this show and the movie too, what it did for the sci-fi genre, making it more accesible and opening the door for new shows and movies, I can’t wait to see what they do next…sellouts.
