From the Sci-Fi Channel: "X-Files 2 In The Works? Dark Horizons reported a rumor that a second X-Files movie might start by the end of the year. The site based its report on comments made by Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully) on the British talk show Parkinson. Anderson reportedly told the show that she and David Duchovny (Fox Mulder) have signed on, as have Robert Patrick (John Doggett) and Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes). She added that the film might be a prequel set before the events of the TV series. The cast will also include Brian Thompson as the alien bounty hunter and Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, the site reported."

Thanks for the info! I loved this show in its early days. A prequel? Maybe they realized what a hopeless mess they had made of the show's storyline after Fight the Future ! Or maybe they want to include all/some of the characters that were supposedly killed off as the series ended.

What seems strange about a prequel is that nobody knew each other yet?? I guess maybe John Doggett and Moncica did, but Scully would have still been at the FBI Academy??

I think it'd be neat if they showed them as kids. Maybe they were in the same kindergarten class and then the families scattered.

I don't know what I was thinking but somehow I misunderstood that teaser. I read it as the movie would take place before the events of the series' conclusion but that wouldn't be a "prequel", now would it? I'm with you, Puttergirl. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to set the movie before Scully ever joined the X-Files.

Duchovny Expects Second 'X-Files' Movie LOS ANGELES - 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." Duchovny starred as alien-hunting FBI agent Mulder for seven full seasons of "The X-Files," worked part-time for an eighth season and returned for the series finale at the end of season nine. He and co-star Gillian Anderson, who played Mulder's skeptical partner, Scully, also starred in the 1998 movie version of "The X-Files." "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."
