X Files 3 Could Be On The Way

[TruerToTheCore]

I will watch this only if the Colonists and their human collaborateurs will be slaughtered in the end

Mulder's sister should be revealed as being alive and be the new alien queen.

I love X-Files. Can't wait for more!!

it needs to come back to tv as well.

 

[Sam Fisher]

remember the exocisism episode in season 2 (the scariest x-file ever)? that was rated R

Was it? Heh.

 

[spider-neil]

The best humor episodes of the show were the COPS crossover, and the episode where Hollywood made an X-Files movie. Both of them are great episodes, and have some good humor too.

And for the life of me I cannot understand why Chris Carter, and for that matter Duchovny and Anderson, felt that the story of the second film was the appropriate celebration of the show after years of being absent and finally returning.

I read an interview with Chris Carter (which was conducted a year ago), and he was talking about how in the earlier seasons of the show they treated them as "mini movies." And then Fox approached them with the opportunity and budget to do a small film, so that limited their opportunities right there. Of course, Carter took some of the blame for the film but also blamed the film's summer release too.

Of course, the second film did well internationally so a third film isn't out of the question. Tom Rothman said that it was up to the two stars and Carter if they wanted to do a third film, but as they say, money talks.

I enjoyed it when John Munch from Homicide and L&O SVU appeared on The X-Files. Very funny.

3 musts (imho)

1. Skully AND mulder need to be part of the fbi.
I don't care how or what contrived way they acheive this but the whole point of the x-files is 'FBI' unsoved crimes.

2. steer clear of alien conspiracies.
there just isn't time to do it justice in a two hour movie, so don't even try.

3. make it accesable to a wide audience.
look at the star trek reboot, you didn't need to know anything about star trek other than the iconic characters. any one should be able to watch an x-file movie with the only knowledge needed is who mulder and skully are.

so with that in mind imagine the following

it's x-files year four (or anytime that places them BOTH in the fbi basement) so both mulder and skully are very much part of the x-files (they'll look older than they did, but anyway) they are called into to investigate brutal murders commited by people who were up until the crimes were normal law adding citizens.

they find out using investigation and mulder's out there theories that this is being caused by a being that is able to control peoples bodies go on a killing spree and then leave the host when the body is too damaged. when the being is finally revealed in all it's glory its a kick arse monster.

* investigative police work.
* kick ass action scenes.
* special effects.

so frigging easy and general audience need no NOTHING of the x-files methology

who did the last movie appeal to? the fans? no, I'm a fan and hated it. the general audience? no, because I bet they didn't know what the heck was going on.

wasn't this dubunked. I heard David was misquoted.

You are correct sir!

This is starting to be like Ghostbusters 3. It just won't die, but probably won't be made either.

There was a thread recently posted about that. All it is is one of the actors saying "I want to do this" but no one in authority to actually do it is saying "we are doing this."

Hopefully the 3rd film is much better than the last movie. I didn't mind the last one, but it was so straight storywise, where was the paranormal fun of the series??? so boring. First film is fantastic though.

 

[Lord]

There's already a thread for this but oh well, this one came first so i think both threads should be fused together.
Unlike Ghosbusters 3 i want this to happen because there there was no conclusion to the series and 2012 was supposed to show that
