I was a HUGH X-Phile while the series was on TV so this is great news to me...
X-Files movie sequel in the works
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- David Duchovny expects that Mulder and Scully will ride again one day.
Duchovny says a second big-screen instalment of The X-Files remains in the works. Though he doesn't know the plot, Duchovny said X-Files creator Chris Carter has signed off on the story premise.
"I'm dying to hear it," said the 43-year-old actor.
His latest movie is Connie and Carla, starring Winnipeg's Nia Vardalos, who wrote and starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and Toni Collette. It opens April 16.
"So now it's just a matter of making sure everybody can get together at the same time and do it."
Duchovny starred as alien-hunting FBI agent Mulder for seven full seasons of The X-Files, worked part-time for an eighth season and returned for the series finale at the end of season nine.
He and co-star Gillian Anderson, who played Mulder's skeptical partner, Scully, also starred in the 1998 movie version of The X-Files.
"I'm at the point where I finally miss it," Duchovny said.
"I wanted the grind to end but I never wanted the show just to end. And I'd always had this fantasy and hope that it would be a movie franchise. Hopefully, this second movie will give it a foundation as such

ops: I guess I lost track of them near the end of the series. I blame it on them moving it around too much. I don't think I caught much of the last season or 2. Did they get killed off? Never saw the spin off.
