X-Files' Creator Spills Film Details
Thursday March 27 8:49 AM ET


The truth about "The X-Files" sequel some of it, anyway is now out there.

"X-Files" creator Chris Carter, writer Frank Spotnitz and other crew members gathered Wednesday to discuss the TV series and declassify some information about the upcoming film.

The popular Fox paranormal drama, which aired from 1993 to 2002, starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully



"While this is not a mythology movie, it's true to everything that's come before," Spotnitz said at the William S. Paley Television Festival. "It's true to Mulder and Scully, who they are and where they would be this point in their lives and all of the experiences that they've had."

The series first made the leap to the big screen with 1998's "The X-Files: Fight the Future" Plans for another film were grounded in 2005 when Carter sued Fox over syndication profits for the show. The lawsuit was later settled.

Carter, who also directs the new movie, said it takes place in the present and uses a story envisioned when the series ended. While the show's sprawling alien mythology isn't part of the plot, Carter said there is a reference to Scully's seemingly supernatural son, William, who was born in season eight and later given up for adoption.

The film is due out July 25.

Carter was tightlipped about the title.

"I can't tell you," he said. "I know what I want it to be, but Fox has some ideas of their own."

Mmmm...I don't know about this

He might want to just leave this alone, especially since there have been a million movies and shows to come along and do this better.

I can see him totally shitting on his work with this project.

I don't know I don't think there is much of a market for this long in the tooth sequel, I have a feeling this and that new star trek movie are just going to crash and burn.

Also this being a stand alone episode more like the earlier "monsters of the week" type of movie, sounds kinda ho hum.

Then again the X files got bout as confusing as Lost is nowadays.

Yeah, a movie franchise is probably a few years too late to make much impact, but I don't care. I can't wait to see Mulder and Scully onscreen again in something new. Especially a stand-alone episode type of movie. Those were usually the best ones.

Cast: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Amanda Peet
Director: Chris Carter

Amanda Peet's in it? She does weird ass movies. I might check it out, but if I was that dude I'd pull out and remove my name from the project.

This really is more of a straight to DVD project. I hope he didn't go ape on the promo.



But at least X started out making sense and having some kind of direction...

I still have no idea why people watch Lost.

not too excited about the script, or well, what little is known about it.

still, it's 90 odd minutes of duchovney laden drama so i'm all up for it.
