TV-Reviewed

It’s no secret that a sequel to The X-Files is in the works. It was one of my favorite TV shows and I enjoyed the first movie. The movie continued with the mythology of the series, which was nice. But to be honest, I haven’t followed the development of the film sequel. I haven’t even checked to see what the plot is or anything. I hate being spoiled by that sort of thing. But the people involved (actors, writers, producers, etc) were at WonderCon this past week and discussed the movie.

Gillian Anderson said that the six-year gap between the series and movie made it difficult to get back into character. I don’t doubt that for a second. She and David Duchovny talked about how to make it clear that the characters had gotten older but were still the same people. I don’t know how they are going to pull that off, but I’m open to just about anything.

I hope the sequel (whatever the final name ends up being) is a hit and that a third movie is made. It’s been a long time since the last movie. Mulder and Scully will always be two of my all-time favorite characters.
