A few weeks I had written a story about ‘The X-Files’ sequel and how it will most likely happen soon. A few of you were skeptical and thought it wouldn’t happen. Well it looks like you hard core X-files fans out there are in deed in store for an early Christmas present.
SciFiWire gives us this:
The X-Files 2 is tentatively set to go before the camera in December, with Carter directing, based on a script he wrote with veteran X-Files writer-producer Frank Spotnitz. Duchovny will reprise his role as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, and Anderson will return as Special Agent Dana Scully.
The plot remains a secret, but Duchovny expressed his hope that the second feature will recapture the essence of the series, which ran for nine seasons, from 1993 to 2002. It also spawned a spinoff TV show (The Lone Gunmen) and the first movie, The X-Files, which premiered in 1998.
I for one am really excited about this news. Although I stopped being a fan of the series in the later years when they got more into the “conspiracy theory” episodes, I was a huge fan of the movie. I think this is a great idea and it will definitely make money at the box office. Although, as much as I like that all the original team is back, I actually would like to also see Robert Patrick reprise his role as well. (I’m probably one of the few people who actually liked him in the show. :P)
So what do you guys think? Are you excited to see Mulder and Scully back on the big screen?
