A decade after the original theatrical version hit theaters and nearly 6 years after the show ended, the long awaited X-FILES sequel has an official production date set. Diva at CS! reports that director (and series creator) Chris Carter will begin lensing the sequel on December 10, 2007 in Vancouver. The only two confirmed stars we know about at this time are David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles of Fox Mulder & Dana Scully. The script for this sequel was handled by Frank Spotnitz and Carter.
For casting calls and pre-production, 20th Century Fox is referring to this project as "Done One".

I find it interesting that they are bringing X-Files back to Vancouver. We'll be hearing Duchovny complain about the rain once again.)

Long awaited?

I liked early X-Files (up to the movie and the season after it) but a movie now?

Why?

X-FILES 2 Hits Theaters Next Summer

After spending 10 years in development hell, Fox and Chris Carter are kicking this production into overdrive. Just last week, they announced a December 10 production start date. The Hollywood Reporter has now announced that Fox has set a release date, reporting that the long awaited X-FILES 2 will hit theaters on July 25, 2008. Frank Spotnitz and Chris Carter developed the script while series creator Carter will get behind the camera in directing David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The storyline is being reported as a supernatural thriller.
Plot Concept: All that is being revealed is that it is a "supernatural thriller" and that the movie will take the complicated relationship between FBI agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions as Mulder continues on his quest for the truth and Scully remains inextricably tied to her partner's pursuits.

X-FILES 2 hits theaters everywhere July 25, 2008.

I stopped at the movie.

I have such fond memories of watching the show with my roommates at college. I will want to see the new movie for nostalgia.

I was a huge fan of the Lone Gunmen. I hope they make it into the movie "somehow".

Will be interesting to see how much business this does so long after the show ended. I was semi-interested in the show and liked the movie, and I'll go see this (for whatever that's worth).

I know they said in the past it will be a standalone story, not tied into the alien mythology of the show so much. Will that help the movie, or hurt it I wonder?

Re: X-FILES 2 Begins Production Dec 10.

There's an article on the BBC saying that it will be a supernatural story. Mulder and Scully as ghostbusters?)

If I didn't have seasons 1 to 5, and the first movie already, I'd save my money to get this:

Sheesh, why has the X-Files always been so expensive on DVD? Shows with comparable amounts of seasons (Friends, Seinfeld, etc) sell for about $200 for the complete collections.

I'm kind of wondering the same thing. I LOVED X-Files, but lost interest after the movie. I don't know, to me I guess iit just kind of lost its edge and it didn't pull me in anymore. There was just something missing.

With great DVD sales and beloved, enduring characters it makes sense to revisit and take the opportunity to continue their story (and better the last film as well).

Great casting choice, love Amanda Peet!

Threesome mark spots for 'X Files'

NEW YORK -- The new "X-Files" movie will be packing more heat. Rapper Xzibit, Amanda Peet and Billy Connolly have signed on for director Chris Carter's next big-screen adaptation of the hit series for Fox.

Sources said Xzibit and Peet will play fellow FBI agents to David Duchovny's Mulder and Gillian Anderson's Scully in the supernatural thriller with a stand-alone story, not a sequel or continuation of the hit 1998 feature adaptation. Citing a policy of secrecy surrounding the plot line, Fox would not confirm any details regarding the three actors' roles.

Carter and Frank Spotnitz wrote the screenplay, and production is expected to begin this month in Vancouver. The film is set to hit theaters in July.

First look: 'X-Files' returns to theaters, minus alien mythology

By Scott BowlesThe X-FilesX-Files to," Carter says. "There were kids who couldn't watch it on TV because it was too scary. Now they're in college. I wanted a movie that everyone could go to."
Whether they will could be a test of the show's legacy, says Blair Butler of the G4TV network, which caters to video-game enthusiasts and science-fiction fans.

"At its strongest, it had really creepy stand-alone episodes," she says. "They turned it into a great franchise. But a lot of years have passed. We'll see if it's fallen off the radar."

She says the film could benefit from an ironic twist: the Writers Guild strike.
"I think it could be a sort comfort food for the people who loved how original the show was and aren't seeing original TV now," she says.
But Carter believes they'll be drawn by something else: the show's stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

"For me, The X-Files has always been a romance," he says. "They had an intellectual romance that's very rare and restrained compared to so many relationships on TV. I think that's what appealed most to the fans. And they're back."

Re: X-FILES 2 Begins Production Dec 10.

All I gotta say is: IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!! I asked Chris Carter back in 99 when we'd see another movie and he said "soon." Uhh... almost a decade is NOT soon!! But I know... it was beyond his control apparently.

I can't wait!

Re: X-FILES 2 Begins Production Dec 10.

The film, which remains without a formal title, will dump the long-running "mythology" plotline — that aliens live among us and are part of a colonizing effort — that made it one of the most popular television shows in the late 1990s but ultimately drove away some viewers who found it too complex and ambiguous.

Is this really true?

The story arc shows were pretty much all I was watching the show for. The monster of the week shows were mostly pretty dull. Kind of amusing sometimes, but really just filler in between the arc shows.
