New X-Files Movie Next Summer? David Duchovny says the long-awaited film could hit theaters in 2008. July 14, 2007 - At the TCA (Television Press Tour) today, David Duchovny was in attendance to promote his new Showtime series Californication. During the event he was asked about the often speculated about second X-Files movie. Duchovny said that it was indeed going forward, and added that "Gillian [Anderson] is onboard." After the event, I was among a smaller group of journalists who spoke to the actor further, and Duchovny was asked why he felt so confidant the movie was happening this time, after years of rumors about different scripts. Duchovny answered that the reason he was sure about this script was because "I'm actually supposed to see it next week! Before I would just say that [there was a movie] because they told me, but now, after talking to Chris [Carter] -- he's been giving me progress reports -- and he actually called yesterday, and said 'Next week, you should have something to read.'" Asked to confirm earlier reports that the movie would be a standalone story, and not part of the larger mythology arc of the series, he replied "It should be. It should be a one-off, yeah." I then asked Duchovny what the schedule for the film might be, in terms of both shooting it and releasing it, and he said "I think it was November, for a summer release." When asked if that would be summer 2008, the actor nodded. Duchovny said he was looking forward to playing Fox Mulder again, and when asked why, answered, "Because he's cool! It's a great show and I love playing the character and I like the people." http://movies.ign.com/articles/805/805046p1.html
I swear david duchovny, gillian anderson and chris carter have been banging on about the second movie for fuck knows how many years. You should take anything that said by these three with a grain of salt. Until i see/hear some official announcement, im not not buying it.
Hmm used to be an X Files addict but have to admit I didn't follow the series anymore since Scully turned to be the sceptical one when Mulder left/disappeared and got replaced and another FBI agent added in the series to replace Scully. Wonder how the movie will take up from there if the plans are thru.
From what keep hearing about this movie its taking place prior to the end of season 7, when fox mulder got abducted
Well i hope it doesn't bomb....... i heard it won't go into the conspiracy stuff and it will be like just watching another episode.........So non fans could follow too..... unlike the first movie which required you to be a watcher of the series. YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE Time to break out the champagne!!!!!!!!!!! I can die happy now.
