Mar.27.2008 The new X-Files movie is uh less secret I guess
Do you care about the X-Files? Then commence the wetting yourself! The new movie based on the show is getting hyped now!
“While this is not a mythology movie, it’s true to everything that’s come before,” Spotnitz said at the William S. Paley Television Festival. “It’s true to Mulder and Scully, who they are and where they would be this point in their lives and all of the experiences that they’ve had.”
The series first made the leap to the big screen with 1998’s “The X-Files: Fight the Future.” Plans for another film were grounded in 2005 when Carter sued Fox over syndication profits for the show. The lawsuit was later settled.
Carter, who also directs the new movie, said it takes place in the present and uses a story envisioned when the series ended. While the show’s sprawling alien mythology isn’t part of the plot, Carter said there is a reference to Scully’s seemingly supernatural son, William, who was born in season eight and later given up for adoption.
The film is due out July 25.
Carter was tightlipped about the title.
“I can’t tell you,” he said. “I know what I want it to be, but Fox has some ideas of their own.”
How exciting! I know what I want the title to be too. Aliens Are Douchebags in a Movie That Chris Won’t See. I smell a box office bonanza methinks!
Seriously though it’s kind of ridiculous that anyone still gives a shit about this. It was a show that totally lost momentum and ratings and it ended, I think without doing any research, like in 1964 when the Texaco Star Variety Hour bumped it off of TV. So let’s just move on with our lives and get over the fact that some fag smoking a cigarette doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of life. Kthanks!
