Could the long-rumored second “X-Files” movie be coming closer to being a reality?
David Duchovny seems to think so. Duchonvy told reporters that he and co-star Gillian Anderson are in final negotations to star in the second big-screen adaptation of the popular paranormal franchise. Duchovny believes a deal could be cut by the end of the week with both stars and filming could start in early 2008.
There is no script set for the movie, though series-creator Chris Carter has said that a second “X-Files” movie would be a stand-alone story without the over-arcing mythology from the series.
Of course, we’ve all heard these rumors before, so it’s best to take the advice of Deep Throat from the first season and “Trust no one” until we get an official confirmation.
Duchovny killed the X-Files when he left thinking that he (the worlds most boring actor) was going to be a movie star and sent the show spiralling in search of a new co-star and direction. Damn him. But is wife’s a cutie. 🙂

Can you say: “We have problems finding good acting roles and we need money”
Hey Now! I loved the X-Files and am looking forward to what Chris has in store for the next flick.
Say what you will, it was still one of the best SF shows ever made, even after Robert Patrick took over for David.
And, who can ever get enough of watching Gillian? Not I my dear friends — not I!
My natural excitement as an X-Files fan is tempered by those who ar ewriting the film. I’ve heard it’s Carter and Spotnitz, both of whom were running on fumes when it came to the series by season nine. I hope the time off has re-energized the creative juices and they will deliver a script and movie that is along the lines of how good the show was in seasons one through five.
