XF Movie?

[shipperx]

Um... (that would get me banned from TWOP), David, much like the Spike movie that I'm not holding my breath for, I'm not holding my breath on a XF sequel.

Anyway (sorry for the spamming today!) From Zap2it.com:

Duchovny's Ready For Another 'X-Files' Movie

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)- As tempting as it might be to try, it's nearly impossible to talk to David Duchovny about his creative endeavors without steering the conversation, unavoidably, to "The X-Files" and the potential for a second feature film.

Unfortunately, Duchovny has no new information beyond confirming, as he's done several times previously, that he and co-star Gillian Anderson are ready to return whenever the situation allows.

"I guess we're just in an indefinite holding pattern," Duchovny admits. "It's about Chris Carter and Fox coming to terms. Gillian and I are signed on. We're ready to go. Chris and Fox are slugging it out."



The first "X-Files" movie hit theaters in the summer of 1998 and made around $84 million at the domestic box office and exceeded that figure internationally. The popular FOX series ended its nine-season run in 2002 and despite years of rumors, no subsequent features have advanced beyond development hell. It's not like Duchovny hasn't been busy -- his first feature as a writer-director, "House of D," hit DVD on Tuesday (Oct. 4) -- but he remains faithful to the franchise that made him a star.

"I feel nostalgia for the show in a way," says Duchovny. "I'd always wanted it to be a movie franchise. I never thought that when I felt the show ending or when I wanted to leave the show that it was the end of the show. I always thought that it was a natural for the screen. I'm happy to go back and continue it that way."

While Duchovny has hear vague rumblings about the negotiations between Fox and Carter, he isn't aware of any potential scripts, much less story arcs for the film.

"I don't think that's the way anybody does business -- nobody writes until they're getting paid to write," he says, adding, "In terms of arcs, it's hard to throw an arc in a movie unless you're committing to 'Matrix 2 and 3' or ' Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3,' so I think the next one would be really just a stand-alone story and less of an arc."
