X-Files Sequel Still Out There
Frank Spotnitz, co-executive producer of The X-Files, told SCI FI Wire that a second feature film based on the television series is still in the works. "My deal has been done—and I'm not exaggerating—for a year and a half," he said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting his new series, Night Stalker. "There are other deals, and you can guess who the people are [who are] involved, and I don't know why they're taking so long. It's very frustrating to me. I hoped the movie would be done now."
Spotnitz said that the lack of a deal has so far prevented him and creator Chris Carter from writing the script, but they know what the story will be and are looking forward to writing it. "Obviously, I'm very busy right now, but it means a lot to me," he said. "I would love to do it, and I wish that we could get all the business things in order so it could happen. ... These are things that happen between lawyers, and I'm not privy to it because it's not my deal. But I know [stars] David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson] want to do it. I know Chris wants to do it. I don't know where the holdup is. But I hope it happens. I remain optimistic it will happen. If you'd asked me a year ago, I never would have believed it still wouldn't be in the works at this point." Spotnitz's new show, Night Stalker, premieres Thursday, Sept. 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Okay, so the "news" is that they still haven't started working on this movie. I think we already knew that. I also don't quite understand why FS and CC couldn't go ahead and write the script, so that it would be ready if/when DD and GA agreed to do another movie. Actually, I REALLY doubt there will ever be another XF movie. DD and GA are simply getting too old now to be acceptable "stars" for a big-budget special- effects-laden summer movie. These movies make most of their $$$ off teenagers and the people who will be teens during the summer of 2007 (which would seem to be, logically, the *earliest* another XF movie could debut considering that we're nearing the end of 2005 an they haven't even started production on one yet) were infants and toddlers (or still in the womb) when the show debuted 12 years ago. The people who were teens/young adults during the show's heyday in the late 90s are, for the most part, now young married folks with small children. . .they probably only attend Disney movies.
So I have my doubts about another movie. Ever. Oddly enough, I do think that sometime in 2015 or so, we'll get another XF TV show; "X-Files, the Next Generation" or something like that.
