DAVID DUCHOVNY: Do you know something I don’t know? Am I dying? No. That book doesn’t close until somebody dies, really. One of the greatnesses of the show was its open-endedness. It was about possibility. It wasn’t about closure. It just couldn’t be. There is no such thing as that story ever ending. Those characters are forever searching. That’s what they do. Even if we’re not watching them, they’re out there, in some dimension. Mulder and Scully are still doing their thing ‘cause that’s their nature.
I would love to do another film, or more. I think we’re all game for it. I know I’m kind of perplexed that Fox isn’t more [enthusiastic]. Here’s a homegrown property that you don’t have to go buy, like fuckin’ Green Lantern or something, to make it. Here you’ve got an actual action franchise that’s your own. It’s weird to me, but I’m not an executive. I don’t know if they made the Green Lantern either, but I’m just using that as an example of, “Why make that film? Why not make a homegrown franchise that is excellent, and that has proven to be excellent and interesting?” I don’t get it, but that’s not my business.
I think Chris [Carter] is probably working on an idea, so we’ll see. Unfortunately, with the last one, they didn’t spend the money to compete in a summer fashion, and they brought it out in the summer. It should be a summer film. It should be an action film. But, the last one we made was not. The last one we made was a dark, contemplative, small $25 million film. It was basically an independent film. When you come out against Batman, it’s not going to happen. You’re not going to be sold as an independent film, and you’re not going to compete against Batman with $25 million.

COME ON AND GREENLIGHT IT ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteThese Gillian/David rumors (which have been denied, but are still floating around) proved that people still love them. I need this movie!
Yes!! Till death do us part! That's just how Fringe will be for me!
ReplyDeleteThis,exactly!
ReplyDeleteI hope they greenlight it, if the storyline doesn't suck like the second one did. That it has something to do with Aliens and their son
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Mulder and Scully on screen again! I grew up with those characters and as David said they will be out there no matter is been more than a decade since the series finale.
ReplyDeletethird movie....YEEEESSSS...////...AWESOME.//
ReplyDeleteSo much X-Files this past few days - now I need an X-Files 3 more than ever.
ReplyDeleteDuchovny makes a good point too. If you're going to make it a summer movie - you have to give it summer money. The fact is, this movie should have been in the works and happening for December 2012...
ReplyDelete*gasp* Yes please! Bring Mulder and Scully back to me!
ReplyDeleteX- Files 3!!!! and why not I say!
ReplyDeleteI like the talk this possibility is generating. Hoping we'll get a third mythology-based film in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that surprising that FOX would be hesitant about a third movie given the dismal box office and reviews of the second. They wasted the opportunity FOX and the audience gave them. If it does come out, I will catch it on DVD. Such a shame since I waited for hours in line to see the first one twice in one day, organized a large group to see it and even held a pre-movie viewing party to get non-fan friends caught up.
