The X-Files Movie

I'm not sure how I feel about the leaked details of the new X-Files movie. According to USA Today, the alien mythology has been dumped for a stand-alone story. It seems a lot of viewers were turned off by the complexity and ambiguity of the alien conspiracy, but I wasn't one of them. I loved that whole arc, especially Cancer Man and the abduction of Mulder's sister. But I also really dug the monster-of-the-week stories and I can't say I'll be disappointed with something along the lines of "Post-Modern Prometheus" or "D.P.O.", which guess-starred the most excellent Giovanni Ribisi and Jack Black.

And on a side note, both Mulder and Scully are looking mighty fine, I must say.

X-Files 2: The Movie

Woohoo!!!

According to Movie News, "fans of The X-Files no longer have to rely on Internet rumors to seek the truth about a sequel to the 1998 movie based on the popular TV series. Fox has announced production will start Dec. 10 on the sequel, which reunites the show's stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The studio also picked July 25 as the U.S. release date. Series creator Chris Carter will direct the still-untitled film.

Shooting will take place in Vancouver. The studio is saying little about the film's story line. All that is being revealed is that it is a "supernatural thriller" and that the movie will take the complicated relationship between FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in unexpected directions as Mulder continues on his quest for the truth and Scully remains inextricably tied to her partner's pursuits."

Since the X-Files is my favorite TV show of all time, this is indeed music to my ears. And just to get us in the mood:
