X-Files 2 in the works

Just when you thought it was safe… Having spent the majority of the past four or five years in the career wilderness, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are seemingly set to head back to the characters that made them cool, rich and famous.

“There's still a very good chance that we will all do another X-Files movie,” series exec producer Frank Spotnitz told SCI FI Wire .

Spotnitz has apparently been signed on to help script the feature, once creator Chris Carter can sort through some legal matters with producers Fox.

“We're not going into the mythology,” Spotnitz said, indicating that part two would be more like an extended episode. “Of course, we will catch up with the characters and what is going on in their lives, but it's not about the alien conspiracy. It's not about that.”

An X-Files movie not about alien conspiracy? Maybe they’re looking to crack the big one; the question on everyone’s lips – why do so many people happily waste the summer watching Big Brother… even Mulder and Scully would have a problem with that one.
