LOS ANGELES (AP) - 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." 04/08/04 15:26 EDT
eh. no thanks. I loved watching the tv show. I tolerated the first movie. I don't think I'll waste my money on a second one.
I wished the series ended after Season 7 and they just made movies like Star Trek. The show peaked in the 4th season and gradually worsened every year thereafter. I could tolerate the mediocrity of season 6 and 7, but the last two seasons was just ridiculously awful. Super soldiers? Mulder screaming in pain every week in that alien contraption. Let's just pretend it never existed.
Hey, don't take it so hard. It's just ... you don't really transfer to the big screen so well. I think your acting is okay on a TV set, but it really looks kind of dull for a movie. I saw you in *Kalifornia* too, which was hilarious, but also kind of dull when you were on screen. Sorry man.
Freaky...I was just thinking about whether they were actually going to make a new movie earlier today. Probably the first time I thought about X-Files in months.
Although I liked Doggett, I wish they had just ended the series earlier as well. I did, however, like The Lone Gunmen spinoff. Whose cousin played in that series? I can't remember. I'm glad they're making another movie. But they need to get started on this movie if they're going to do it. The older Duchovny gets, the less I like it. He's aged quite a bit. I certainly don't want to see a 50+ year old Fox Mulder at some point in the future, so they've likely got one shot left. I don't want to see subscriptions to AARP, worries about his pension, or him qualifying for the senior discount when he and Scully go to lunch.
Mulder was on trial, and just about everyone was brought back -- Deep Throat, a disfigured "Little" Spender (the smoking man was "Big" Spender), etc.
There was this last-episode-of-Seinfeld-esque trial that brought back all the minor characters and attempted to explain the story arc. It kind of did, kind of didn't. I'd love to see another movie, but only if Mulder still has time to post in the BBS.
well your show was a smash hit, I just wish you could have parlayed the fame into a legitimate movie career.
