X-Files Movie Coming Way Sooner Than You Expected


By Katey Rich

Xfiles Wait, seriously? Just days after David Duchovny confirmed that he and Gillian Anderson would be returning for the second X-Files movie, 20th Century Fox has announced a release date: July 25, 2008. As in, 9 months from now.



They're starting shooting in December. Presumably the movie will involve at least some special effects, though I guess the 'X-Files' TV show was always heavier on spooky atmospherics than giant bugs/robots/pirate ships etc. Duchovny and Anderson are rumored to have not gotten along terribly well back in their TV days; will production be delayed by someone refusing to come out of their trailer? Basically I have to wonder: how on earth are they going to finish this one on time?



July 25, 2008 is currently occupied by two other projects: Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (a team that proved unbeatable last summer with Talladega Nights), and Untitled Ice Cube Family Comedy (presumably that's the working title). I guess it wouldn't have been a summer weekend without a movie based on something else that contains sci-fi elements, so hey, bring it on, Mulder and Scully.
