Another X-Files Movie?
Despite the fact that both critics and fans hated The X-Files: I Want to Believe, filmmakers are still keen on doing a third film in the series. The recent film was a flop at the box office.
Frank Spotnitz, speaking to MovieWeb, believes that the franchise still has life in it and hopes that once the film’s DVD is out, the studio will decide “whether they want to roll the dice on another X-Files feature.”
As for the subject of the third film, he noted December 2012 to be important.
"There’s a date that looms very important in X-Files mythology, which is December 2012. I mean, if we were to make one more feature, I think we would definitely have to deal with alien colonization. I honestly think that’s the movie that most non-hardcore X-Files fans, as well as a lot of hardcore X-Files fans are dying to see. Obviously, I think Chris has had ideas about that from the very beginning when he dreamt up this show, sixteen years ago."
More on it as it develops.
what are you talking about? fans loved this movie. real fans anyway – log onto any x-files site – the fans saw this movie 3 times in some cases. 5 times for me! the movie did not have any car chases or explosions so fan boys stayed away. i loved this movie and welcome the final chapter!!

Fans loved the movie, I know I did, already owe the DVD.
It was non-fans X-Files-is-only-about-aliens casual “fan” that trashed it.
I really hope 3rd will be done!
Ditto gorygirl! Couldn’t have said it any better.
What are you talking about? The X-Files movie was a complete flop! Even to the true fans, such as myself. It had a weak story plot, very dull acting and an unbelievable ending.
The movie was not that bad but the ending was a bit lame to be honest. They could have done more with it. I have hopes that the next one (if there is) is going be much better.
I havent seen it yet ( just started the x files last year, but im problyt watching it tonight i cant wait. i hope the alien at the end of nine left skinner alive….
