The X-Files 2 News

By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on July 16, 2007

Sure a bunch of reporter-types were interviewing David Duchovny on his new Showtime show Californication this weekend but I was actually out at Best Buy buying more X-Files DVD sets for my collection at $20 bucks a piece.

So I was probably just as excited as anyone else to hear that Special Agents Mulder and Scully will be back on the silver screen to finish up this epic saga in The X-Files 2.

Premium Hollywood was on hand and reported that Duchovny is anticipating that he’ll finally, FINALLY be receiving the script to the forever-gestating “X-Files” movie sequel.

It’s a co-write by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz.  Carter is the show's creator and will also direct the feature film, while Spotnitz wrote, story-edited, and produced many episodes of The X-Files series.

Gillian Anderson is on board.

“This time,” says Duchovny, “I really am supposed to get the script next week. And I’m looking forward to seeing what (Chris) did.”

It’s to be a one-off script, i.e. there are no intentions to continue the franchise as an ongoing series of sequels, and - all things being equal - the plan is for filming to begin later this year, with a release date for sometime in 2008.

Here's hoping Mulder finally gets to kick some alien butt and that Scully will be less skeptical.
