While [X-Files creator Chris] Carter talked to CINESCAPE magazine recently in general terms about what fans could expect from a follow up to 1998’s X-FILES: FIGHT THE FUTURE, it now seems he’s firmed up ideas in his mind and shooting next year is becoming more certain.
In an interview in this week’s TV GUIDE, Carter reiterated what he told us, which is the second FILES film will, “be a stand-alone X-FILES story,” and shooting is set for sometime in 2003.

Maybe if the new game does well they will see that lots of fans want the movie!
maybe! The whole thing stinks in my opinion, especially when shows like Taken are a big hit in Canadian TV while FOX is still stuck on the reality tv bit and comic book to screen hard on. I don't forsee X-files until sometime around 2006 though upcomingmovies.com lists it as 2004 TBA but that hasn't been updated in ages. Goodluck!

Duchovny says sequel is in the works
From Empire Uk
It's been six long years, but fans of the X-Files can finally rest assured that the small screen’s FBI alien huggers are once more en route to the big screen. Talks of a sequel have been bouncing around Hollywood for some time now, but this week news came from David Duchovny himself that a sequel was already in pre-production.
US movie site Moviehole.net got the inside story from Duchovny while interviewing him for his latest movie Connie and Carla. Asking whether there was any likelihood at all that Duchovny and Gillian Anderson would ever make a sequel, they got a surprisingly positive response. 'It's definitely happening,’ Duchovny confirmed. ‘Chris has a great idea for the new movie and I expect we'll be able to begin shooting in the next year or so.'
Asked whether he’ll expect major developments in his character Fox Mulder, Duchovny replied: 'I hope not. I was really fighting against that in the final years of the show and I think the whole point. I think we're going to be introducing a new character in the film which will allow us to cast a major star, male or female, who will want to be part of an exciting supernatural thriller. I think the new movie will appeal to both our core fans and a broad audience. I'm very excited about it.'
Hello Kes,
I don't know whether you came across an article on Cinecon.com about the showest thingy that happened in Vegas I believe. There was rumour that Fox is trying to sell the X-Files franchise to another studio. This could be a good thing and a bad thing, good if someone becomes really interested in it. Bad, meaning no movie is forseeable for this or next year. I'll see if I can find the article in question. 🙂
Well kick me in the mouth Kes,
after I justed finished posting that I decided to check DH and low and behold I find this.
March 30th 2004
While promoting his comedic turn in the upcoming "Connie and Carla", our LA correspondent on the ground Paul Fischer asked co-star David Duchovny whether the much-rumoured "X-Files" movie is likely to happen, and to everyone's surprise, he gave a resoundingly positive response.
"It's definiely happening", the actor said. "Chris has a great idea for the new movie and I expect we'll be able to begin shooting in the next year or so."
Asked whether he expects Mulder to develop in the film, the actor said "I hope not. I was really fighting against that in the final years of the show and I think the whole point. I think we're going to be introducing a new character in the film which will allow us to cast a major star, male or female, who will want to be part of an exciting supernatural thriller. I think the new movie will appeal to both our core fans and a broad audience. I'm very excited about it."

Pretty much the same but always good to read:
Duchovny Expects Second 'X-Files' Movie
LOS ANGELES (AP) - David Duchovny expects that Mulder and Scully will ride again one day.
Duchovny said a second big-screen installment of "The X-Files" remains in the works. Though he doesn't know the plot, Duchovny said "X-Files" creator Chris Carter has signed off on the story premise.
"I'm dying to hear it," the 43-year-old actor told The Associated Press in an interview for his new movie "Connie and Carla," starring Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette, which opens April 16. "So now it's just a matter of making sure everybody can get together at the same time and do it."

"I'm at the point where I finally miss it," Duchovny said. "I wanted the grind to end, but I never wanted the show just to end. And I'd always had this fantasy and hope that it would be a movie franchise. Hopefully, this second movie will give it a foundation as such."
Apperently the 2nd movie has been annonced!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408346/
X Files 2
So I hear that X Files 2 has been reconfirmed as a one off investigation.
Although the details haven't been officially resubmitted into the imdb yet, David Duchovny (<3) and Gillian Anderson are both involved, and it seems this will be pre Dogget etc (Yes!).
David Duchovny said:
"Mulder and Scully investigate one particular case that has nothing to do with alien life. It has to do with supernatural stuff"
and also Gillian Anderson said something along the lines of that it's going to be a scary mother...
Thoughts?
I'm excited actually, should be goood.
More crap about it HERE
