For us X-Philes, it's been a long dry spell of cable reruns and Hollywood red herrings about the release of the second X-Files feature film. Well, apparently, it's happening. For reals, man. Click above to watch Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz, and Mitch Pileggi ("FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner") spill some beans on the new movie at Paleyfest, set to release July 25th, 2008.BONUS: Ain't It

I'll believe it when I see it, but the scuttlebutt on the street is that the long-awaited (Note - 10 years is an eternity in TV-Land, C.C. - Ed.) sequel to the X-Files: Fight The Future movie is in the pipeline, slated for a July 2008 release.Why now, after years of proposals and stalled contracts? Reports say the impending Hollywood writers' strike is pushing up production deadlines on a number

Some interesting X-Files 2 movie developments, from the Millennial Abyss website [an excellent Web-surfing stop for all you MillenniuM fans out there] yesterday:"While details are scarce, it looks as if production plans are being made for Ten-Thirteen Productions' next feature film. The cast and crew are being assembled for the second big screen adventure based on The X-Files. Recently, Chris

[from Reuters UK] LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter is set to make his feature directing debut with a movie based on Philip Kerr's sci-fi thriller "A Philosophical Investigation." Set in the near future, "Investigation" tells the story of a government-run genetic testing unit that assists law enforcement agencies in listing and tracking down those with a

Normally, I don't care to pass on information about the long-rumored X-Files 2 movie, since much is hearsay and changes all too frequently: it's on, it's off, it's on, it's off...you get the idea. However, this is intriguing and hopeful, because it's apparently straight from Ms. Anderson herself. From The Official Gillian Anderson Website Newsletter, Issue #60 [July 13, 2004]:"It does indeed

As an "X-Phile", I was very disappointed that FOX had taken the show's official website offline, and replaced the link with a page hawking DVD box sets for other FOX shows. The Official X-Files site contained a wealth of information on all nine seasons' episodes (although I don't think show synopses were ever completed for Season 9), and it is sorely missed. A fellow fan who runs the
