Filmmakers drop clues about "X-Files" movie sequel

By James HibberdFri Mar 28, 2:49 AM ET

Ten years after the last "X-Files" movie hit theaters, the team behind the hit sci-franchise is tossing out some tidbits about the sequel, currently scheduled for release on July 25.

The film, which has not yet been named, will mark the return of David Duchovny as Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Scully, two FBI agents who investigate the paranormal.

It is being directed by Chris Carter, creator of the series that ran on Fox from 1993 to 2002.

"I know what I want it to be, but Fox has ideas of their own," Carter said of the title. "I know what it should be."

What he and co-writer Frank Spotnitz did reveal Wednesday during the 25th annual William S. Paley Television Festival, was the trailer. It featured lots of snow, running, a large syringe and a helicopter.

The film will pick up six years after the end of the series. It's supposed to be a standalone feature removed from the alien mythology of the TV show, a throwback to the show's "monster of the week" episodes. Still, some lingering aspects from the series, like whether Scully's child will be a normal tyke, will be addressed.

"It will not be a mythology movie, but it's true to everything that's come before," said Spotnitz.

as regards the x-files, i could not watch most of the series after the third season, and I also watched the first movie, but i was curious enough to find out roughly what happened in summary in the other six seasons. From what i read, it appears that the mythology of the series reveals that the aliens created the human DNA and it was they who sent down the bible and the qur'an! I'd expect a more pleasant story.

That's what disappointed me the most, but inshallah I will love to watch the second movie.

Yeah, I agree that the series wasn't as enjoyable after the movie came out. I got kind of tired of all the alien conspiracy theory episodes. I like the creature features, and other episodes better. After Mulder left, I couldn't watch anymore.

I hope the second movie rocks though, otherwise I'll feel bad about paying money to see it.

I have been following the news about the new movie since last year too. When I started to follow the news and some time even after that, it had not even be officially announced that the movie would actually be filmed.

I used to be a huge X-Files fan back in the day. But not no more. I think a lot of better shows have come out since then...the quality of tv shows has improved so much since then....in comparison, X files is too slow.

I mean, shows like 24, Prison break, etc....they take it to another level.

Fictional shows don't really interest me at all... so when 'Lost' comes on, I just change the channel.
