Not sure if it’s a reboot or just a new cast. With the recent congressional hearings and press the timing is right. If they’re smart they will keep it in the same universe as the original and have some of the stars cameo.
Curious to see what he does with it, it honestly might be more popular than ever in this era of UFO social media and Congressional hearings. Looking forward to it.
Remember when people were excited for Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone? That didn't last too long. X-Files is great, but I think it's time has come and gone.
Every time I see Ryan Coogler, my brain thinks Steve Coogan which makes for some pretty interesting show pitches. Im all in for Steve Coogan's X-Files.
Was a big fan of the TV show. Back then was appointment television. Later they've done stand-alone movies, the movies didn't do well popularity-wise. Most fans and critics weren't positive. Big enough for a glorifiied TV episode, but enough by movie standards. Tbh, part of me was relieved 20th Century Fox stopped. Left the franchise reputation somewhat intact. Also times have changed. Back then when Mulder believed in conspiracies, it was a quirky, likable trait. Since the show ended, topics like conspiracies, false information, government distrust, taken on a life of its own. Unfortunate real world reminders; not something I want in my sci-fi shows. Coogler could make it fresh, but re-doing anything well-known often handcuffs the creatives. Since project is green lit, so sounds they're doing it regardless. Personally, not going to seek it out after it comes out.
I'm interested, but it if it goes off the track from the original, I'll just imagine it's a different flavor like CSI:Miami or Special Victims Unit... Malcolm X-Files #02332: FBI Agents sent to small town Plymouth in order to investigate minority deaths from impossible to lift rocks.
i hope they go all out on the diverse cast, including all colors, all genders, handicaps, all ages, all religions, and have all of them be offended.
