In early 2006, we posted that Gillian Anderson wanted XFiles 2 to happen. Now over a year later, we hear that Duchovny is offering an echo to those words, though very late.
It’s okay if you don’t remember, the film came out — I dunno — nine freaking years ago! Since then there’s been talk of a sequel … and more talk of a sequel … and even more talk of a sequel. Heck, two years ago David Duchovny actually said that an X-Files 2 was taking shape and would go into production sometime in 2006. Yeah, that never happened. However, while out promoting his latest film, The TV Set, Duchovny noted that negotiations were just about wrapped up, and he feels production will now start sometime in 2008, or sooner. Then again, he’s said this before … so, X-Files fans, don’t go holding your breath.
Now this is not the first of Duchovny saying this movie was getting made, and quite frankly for the sakes of Duchovny and Anderson, they need this so I have no doubts that they would be pushing for it.
But Duchovny rumours that this will not be a direct sequel of the first movie, and that the plot will have nothing to do with an alien consipiracy. So is this more of a relaunch within the same continuity? Back to some of the more supernatural goings on of the original series?
If this ever happens (there has been more delays than Superman on this one) and it turns into a success, will there be a revitalization in the form of a movie franchise? Could this mean a return to the TV Series.
Making old TV shows into movies is all the rage, so why not take an old TV show that spawned a movie, and make a sequel to that movie and make it the launching point for another TV series!
Im a little dizzy just writing that.
