CSM's take on another movie

Found this while surfing the 'net; comments from me at the end.

Seven years after "Fight the Future," rumors of a second "X Files" movie still persist. According to William B. Davis, the infamous "Smoking Man," he's every bit as anxious as the still-loyal fans of the franchise. "I remember when we talked about it way back, just after the [TV show's] finale, but what kind of a film could I do?" he laughed. "One of the problems, of course, for me is that I'm very dead. I mean, they demolished me in the finale. I've come back from the dead a couple of times, but whether I could come back from that is a little hard to imagine." According to Davis, series creator Chris Carter has discussed making the next film a prequel, which would allow deceased characters to return. "His point [however] was that David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson] are getting older, so how far back in time can you go? And now quite a number of years have gone by. So whether the cigarette-smoking man can make a believable appearance other than a ghost, I don't know ... [but] I'd love to do it. It'd be great." ...

I've got to agree with CSM that DD and GA, good-looking though they undoubtedly are, simply are *way* too old to believably play twentysomethings, which is what they'd have to be if the new movie was supposed to be a "prequel" to the whole XF universe. If they started filming, say, next week, I think they could still pass as being in their mid-30s, so they could set it immediately after the previous movie and between seasons five and six of the show. It helps that GA, in contrast to most TV show actresses, was actually *younger* than the character she was portraying. GA is only just now the age Scully was supposed to be when the series ended in May of 2002.
But really sounds like this is just more of the same old stuff. Everybody "wants" to do another XF movie, but nothing concrete has been done to make it happen.
