X-Cellent: Scully and Mulder Finally Reunited!

The truth isn't out there, it's right here: X-Files leading man David Duchovny recently hooked up with Gillian Anderson and their former series' creator, Chris Carter, to discuss a second movie follow-up, SCI FI Wire reports. (Go ahead and plotz. I'll wait.) "It was more emotional than I would have thought it was [going to be]," he said of the confab. "If you spend that much time with people and go through that much, there's a lot of residual feeling."

X-2 is tentatively scheduled to shoot in December, with Carter directing from a script that he penned with X-phile Frank Spotnitz. "I want us to go out and do what the show always did best, which is really smart, scary, ultimately ambiguous stuff," Duchovny said. "There's been a lot of shows and movies that kind of tread the same area, or tried to, and I think we always did it best. And I hope we can go out and do it best again."

Wednesday's Today's News was written by Ben Katner.

I'm still a little hesitant, but if they actually start shooting in December I think I'll just fall over from excitement.

Finally! Woohoo!!!

Okay, I'm there. I only wish the show hadn't killed off most of the great supporting cast! I refuse to believe the Lone Gunmen are gone... :-D

This is great news! Finally! I've been pacifying myself with reruns of the show on Sci-Fi, not to mention my DVDs. It'll be great to see those 2 actors revive 2 characters that are sorely missed on the TV landscape these days (although the Supernatural boys come close).

Finally! At the height of the show, I always said Gillian Anderson was the best dramatic and comedic actress on television. Duchovny's no slouch, either. If they made a dozen new movies, I'd be in line for every one of them.

I just hope it is for real this time. We have been promised this for so long. Last night they showed the one when they are in the Canadian wilderness and those little green bugs are trying to eat everyone. Yikes

I was a long-time fan of X-Files who got fed up with David Duchovny's apparent increasing disdain for making the show. His attitude sucked towards the end of his regular run, and it showed. I reluctantly gave the Robert Patrick era a try, and became instantly re-hooked on the show, based entirely on Mr. Patrick's performance. The Mulder-Scully "romance" and subsequent dumping of their baby, as well as the 2-hour series finale was terribly written; I stayed with the show in spite of Mr. Duchovny's return, not because of it. The complete disregard for Robert Patrick's valiant contribution to X-Files really disgusts me. Mr. Duchovny abandoned the show, bad-mouthed his experience on it, and is now making nice with Chris Carter, largely I suspect because Mr. Duchovny's post-Mulder career hasn't exactly set the entertainment world on fire. If Robert Patrick is not included in the next movie, then I have ZERO interest in seeing it. Good luck to the makers of this movie -- they'll need it to find any ticket-buyers.
