The 2nd X-FILES Feature Film: D.O.A. or Will It Happen?
So, anyone got any updates or credible rumors regarding this film? The TV show ended with one whopper of a pending doomsday so are we ever going to blessed with a final resolution, or will THE X-FILES go down in history with TWIN PEAKS as a masterful '90s TV show that ends forever and frustratingly on a cliffhanger?

Last I heard, the second movie was not to follow after the series finale but rather it was to take place sometime before Doggett and Reyes were added to the cast of characters. It was also to be a standalone feature (no aliens, bees, black oil, etc.) and was to focuse on a supernatural case. But that was ages ago when that was being discussed. Who knows what (if anything) they'll do now.

Is there really that much interest for another one?
I mean I used to be a big fan and all, but gawd knows I'm sick of hearing the names "Mulder" and "Scully" now.

Having said that, if a teaser trailer for a second film were to begin the rounds, I'm sure millions of fans and used-to-be fans would come unglued...
Fingers crossed this series is given better justice than to just end without real resolution...

The time may have passed for this movie to be made, but I don't care. If they actually made it, I would be first in line for a ticket. I get faint in the head just thinking about them making this movie. I still love The X Files like crazy.

I though the first movie was pretty cool. The series had it's hits and misses, though. I would certainly see a second movie, but I'm not really hoping it happens.

I'd love to see another X-Files feature film. The series has been one of my favourites for years, and I liked, "Fight the Future." I'd be there opening night for a sequel.

It is pretty good for any show, let alone Sci-fi. Certainly way larger than Buffy or Babylon 5, though that should be obvious by just being on Fox. Of course, it does beg the question what should the typical "public consideration" for a show like this be? I mean plenty of decently rated shows from the 1990s are forgotten these days.
