As much as other people, especially fans of the TV show, may have disliked the first X-Files movie that came out in 1998, I actually thought it was a damn good movie. Now a whole 10 years later they may finally make a sequel. In an interview over at IESB.net with David Duchovny, he told them that they are finishing final negotiations and could start filming by early 2008 if not sooner.

IESB discussed the film and what the story may be or how it may play out a bit further with Duchovny:

Q: Is the storyline you talked about last year still the same? It won’t involve aliens or a science fiction element and have more of a horror element?
David Duchovny: Not a horror film when compared to today’s standards like Saw and Hostel but more of a supernatural thriller.

Q: Who is all returning for the film?
DD: The story will revolve around Gillian’s character, Dana Scully, and my character, Fox Mulder.

Q: Are they going to address the time issue, the space between each film? Are they still in the FBI?
DD: There is no script completed, they are still developing the entire story.

You can check out the full interview and the rest of the details on their site. I’m interested, others aren’t. Why is this such a “shrug” of a story? Did anyone else like the first X-Files movie besides me?
