ROTTEN TOMATOES: Expect The X-Files Movie in Summer 2008?

Expect The X-Files Movie in Summer 2008?

The adventures of Mulder and Scully could continue as early as next year.

by Alex Vo | July 16, 2007

David Duchovny has recently revealed to IGN Movies the next X-Files movie is further along in pre-production. Shooting is (very) tentatively planned to start this November, with a summer 2008 release date in mind.

But how's this different from the other X-Files movie rumors and false starts we've endured for years? Apparently, this time, there's something resembling a script floating around.

"I'm actually supposed to see it next week!" Duchovny said, "Before I would just say that [there was a movie] because they told me. But now, after talking to [series creator] Chris [Carter] -- he's been giving me progress reports -- he actually called yesterday, and said 'Next week, you should have something to read.'"

Duchovny confirmed that Gillian Anderson has signed on to reprise her Scully role, and that the movie will be a standalone feature that's not too involved with the series' "mythology" story arc.

Given that it's been five years since the show ended (and about seven years since a really good episode), if this movie finally has a chance of being made, you bet we want to believe.

I'll watch it for sure. The show was great, until the end when it became lame.

I do. And I'm sure there are many others who care as well. If you don't, why waste your time and energy posting a comment to that effect? The X files was probably one of the best television shows of all time. It set the stage [and the bar] for lost and countless other shows. With the right people, this has all of the elements for a very long and successful franchise.

I know people love this franchise, and I can kinda understand why even though it's not my cup of tea, but I have a tough time getting up for this movie because the first one was so bad and as has already been stated the series kinda went downhill toward the end. I guess we'll just have to hope the time off has allowed the production team to refuel their batteries, not totally impossible I guess and hey if it fails we'll always have Evolution :) which was clearly superior in every way to the first Files film. That's what they need for the sequal...more Stifler.

I'm pretty sure they killed off the lone gunman so it's unlikely unless they go with flashbacks or a supernatural storyline that would permit it. Still though, I wonder if their considering continuing The X-files as an ongoing film series.

I care a lot about it as well. I even liked the series the last few years when Doggett was the lead.
