Thanks to jenna56 for the heads up.
Q:Are you shooting the new ones in Vancouver?
A:Yeah.
Q:Is that why you’re doing it now? Or does the time feel especially ripe for it for some reason?
A:The time is right because we got our [act] together to do it. In terms of culturally or what people want to see, I don’t know. I imagine if we waited too much longer people would eventually lose interest. It’s different from something like “Star Trek,” which started out campy and then, especially with the J.J. Abrams stuff, became legit somehow. You might argue with me, but I always felt like we were legit. We’re still trying to do the same show. It’s not like were trying to make it 2.0, or whatever the .0 is now. 3.0. We’re gonna make the same show. But it’ll be interesting because Gillian and I are older. I don’t want to act like it’s 20 years ago.
Q:Is it going to be serialized or just like a collection of movies of the week?
A:We’re gonna do both. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna begin and end with the mythology. But I really don’t know.
Q:Part of the “X-Files” legacy surrounds genre, but another part was the way it combined serial storytelling with the Monster of the Week episodes. And this whole notion of—mythology.
A:It kind of introduced specialized knowledge, though you didn’t have to do homework to watch the show. They were always kind of juggling about what people needed to know, especially when we made the movies. Can we get somebody in who’s never seen this? And I’m sure we’ll have to juggle that again with this iteration of it.
