David Duchovny Talks 'X-Files 2' Again
Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Mystery & Suspense, RumorMonger, Scripts, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and Sequels
At this stage, if there isn't a new X-Files movie on the way, then a lot of fans are going to feel pretty gypped. Sun Media has reported that during a panel event with David Duchovny, who played the iconic Agent Mulder in the TV show as well as the first movie, the actor confirmed that he was about to receive his first script for the new X-Files film any day now. The panel event was set up for Duchovny's new cable series Californication as part of the Television Critics Association tour. Duchovny was quoted as saying, "I really am supposed to get the script next week. And I am looking forward to seeing what (Chris) did". Duchovny also went on to say, "Chris (Carter) is going to direct it. Gillian (Anderson) is on board and I'm on board". According to reports, the film would starting shooting in November and would aim for a release in Summer 2008.It was back in April when Patrick gave us the news that creator Chris Carter would be working with writer Frank Spotnitz on a script, but fans were rightfully skeptical since there have been rumors floating around about a sequel for years. The original series ran on Fox from 1993 to 2002, and the first film was released in 98'. It was a commercial success, but it seemed like a sequel was never going to materialize. Duchovny made it clear that the film would not be the start of a franchise, and that the script was going to be a "one-off" (meaning it would have nothing to do with the previous film or the TV show). Having been fairly obsessed with the show, I can only hope that another film would give Agents Mulder and Scully a more eventful send-off than what the TV finale provided back in 02'. But until the film goes into production, I think we know by now not to hold our breath.

I'll be first in line for this, provided all the recent buzz around it has been accurate and this movie will really, finally happen.
It's wonderful to keep hearing that this film we be a stand-alone adventure/creepfest and not a continuation of the series' Black Oil/Hybrid/Colonization mythology, which, in my humble opinion, was always a little heavy on the weaksauce.
The best episodes of the show were easily The Agents Vs. The Unknown. Those eps left the cast and creative team the most room to play around and explore the great premise.
That being said, I'm still genuinely stunned the first film is as entertaining, worthwhile, and even epic as it is, given that the plot was driven solely government conspiracy business. Somehow it worked but I can see how two hours and a complete storyline could only work better than draping it over dozens of episodes spread over several seasons' worth of TV.

What's the point at this stage? I was one of the many who loved the X-Files, and was there opening weekend for the lousy movie. Too much time has passed.
Just move on Duchovny no one cares anymore, you had a great hit and like many before you, you ruined it thinking you were a star.

Agree with L.G. First movie is like a reward for fans, but it was an update version of TV series rather than a film. If they really decide to make it, they can try a better thriller/adventure plot than the previous one. They'd better to do it quickly, because fans wait too long, and actors are becoming older.

unFame says: “X-Files 2 Gillian Anderson Bullied Again by Nazi Hollywood, 2007”
hey
* what is the story-x files 2-no go: the “cover up” story here in LA, CA. about why it has been halted (cover up-see-anderson’s 2002 untold story, could become rehashed, VERY PUBLICLY at this juncture) ...well, let’s give a small --prelude-- before repeating old hollywood’s most recent, horse crap, public statement regarding why x files 2 is dead stop at this point. ...you see, hollywood seldom has a completed script before contracts are signed and production begins ...sometimes there is no script at all, just rough draft outlines. this is a most common practice. --end prelude--
{hollywood’s current said story: to paraphrase, it is a dead project, again, because “carter reveals” that there is a hitch in the script, and “david said” it was suppose to be a sure thing this time, because all are on board and everybody is in love, and with the idea ...but it seems to be stopped.}
GILLIAN ANDERSON’S name was NOT EVEN mentioned—and for good reason.
TO analyze old hollywood’s above cover up:
a. david has no authority to speak publicly concerning the go ahead on any of hollywood projects accept that which he has been ordered by corp.—least he be sued by old hollywood. so, old hollywood made him be their fall guy spokes person.
b. hollywood’s standards for beginning projects usually have no completed script before shooting begins and often no script at all.
SOLUTION: ...so, ...hmm ...let’s see ...what could be the real reason why this projected stopped? who has the most to gain in this project going through? moreover, who has the least to gain? was hollywood’s voice coming through david when he proclaimed it would happen? was hollywood threatening her again should she not cooperate? would the public hate her if she stopped this beloved project, adding more to the damage done her reputation from these same past tactics? if it were stopped by gillian anderson would her rep backslide further just at the time her reputation is coming up fast—no thanks to old hollywood, because she might be portrayed as rejecting her fans?
ANSWER: anderson is too aware of how potentially dangerous this dying giant, old hollywood, can be which has enough kick left in it to harm. carter, david, old hollywood, us in the know in LA, CA., and most certainly anderson all know that when david came out publicly on this: old hollywood was positioning her to bend over and take it up the ... one last time before they suffer the exact same fate they did to her, and before she finally breaks through to stardom again, in spite of old hollywood. (please remember anderson is the only person known to have just walked in their office one day and say I QUIT!)
what a feather in old corp’s hat it would be, at this very public, crossroads in history: if corp could force anderson ...this new generation’s spokesperson (new generation has broken old hollywood’s iron curtain over the US) to get down on bended knee, as they slither off the stage ...and with the proceeds from the humiliation of anderson, x files 2 project, in their pocket. this whole thing is about old corp hollywood trying to get some pocket money for moving out, and payback against her for starting a crack in the dam, 5 years ago, which has destroyed old hollywood.
anderson knew that she would have to make some kind of statement to old hollywood’s public threat to make this x files 2 with her involvement. it was, is obvious anderson is wise in this ...see closely her chosen words in her initial statement: her statements have been in two parts. 1. first was to ensure her fans that she does care for them. 2. then her recent follow up public statements screamed to old hollywood, don’t even think about f**king with me. (see her bringing up her documented, untold story, which scares the hell out of old hollywood).
old hollywood did not have to contact her and threaten her to make some kind of initial complying statement towards the project after they made there move through david-gutless wonder. they knew she had no other choice because her fans would expect it. however, old hollywood also knows that she, and most all in the US are aware that corp is, despised, bust, is currently operating on borrowed time, and all bluff. everything is in place for shooting the project now. but if anderson refuses to answer her phone concerning the date for showing up on set ...well they can’t make her answer her own phone, though anderson knows that old hollywood is attempting same as we speak. the hitch in carter’s script is most obvious ...no anderson ...no x files 2.
old hollywood’s last statement might as well have stated that it’s all her fault. however, if they are direct and stated that, anderson’s attorneys would have a field day with old hollywood in public court and her untold story WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE COMPLETELY UNHIDDEN.
each day that passes old hollywood is losing power and must soon leave town. she most likely will continue to put them off as long as possible until they make their next move against her with another slanderous threatening public statement. yet, old hollywood has other extremely serious financial issues to deal with immediately, NOW ...past bankers and investors are lining up, like waiters with the unpaid bill in hand. they have little time to deal with this side issue of revenge, and pocket money with anderson and x files 2.
Conclusion: what would you do if all abandoned you (see above) while Nazis stole your first motherhood—under contract—then did everything possible to destroy your reputation, and ability to work again in your said field ever, because you protested. what would you do if a perpetrator publicly, freely raped your life, your child’s life—while co-workers watched on--then came back 5 years later insisting that you cooperate in giving to them on bended knee? ...answer the perpetrator’s phone calls as to the date of said forced event?
Gillian Anderson best known for her role ...as Gillian Anderson, beloved for seldom compromising her core characteristics of integrity ...even should it cost her everything. corp hollywood hates that more than most can possibly conceive.
bravo anderson! ...bravo! ...ring, ring! ...ring, ring!
best wishes, the vishitor

“X-Files-2” Duchovny Says - “it’s a big ruse” Aug 27, 07
unFame says: LA, CA. sources speculate that,
Duchovny receives his own sitcom from old dying hollywood, while on the side, pushes hard to engage the public’s support in having GA help corp hollywood with another remake project. ...it’s-a kind-of-a big ruse” duchovny confirms - in his LA, Aug 27, 07 radio-station phone interview while promo-ing his new deals with old hollywood. Is he trying to tell us all something between the lines? He stated that
he was “standing by the dumpster.” It’s all very confusing because ...
... Anderson Knew: that she would have to make a statement to old hollywood’s 2007 most recent public threat towards her, in making this x files 2—attempting to manipulate her involvement. (see old hollywood’s ‘scare & slander, and blacklist’ tactics after her 2002 resignation.) anderson shows her wisdom in how she has been approaching and addressing this issue, AGAIN. now known as universal common knowledge ...the US -mainstream- hollywood, iron curtain, media | gossip, monopoly is more than a confusing source. most are aware which sources nazi hollywood has most control over or owns. her statements, published over the last whenever, and wherever by sources of less old hollywood influenced, seem to be in two parts, to paraphrase, 1. first, anderson ensures the public that she does care for them. 2. then, follows up, in cyber-space, towards old hollywood with calm demeanor ...just come down her and try to hit me again, and see what happens. (see, her highlighting her documented, torturous 2002 untold story.) response to the latter will no doubt bring the same ole, stupid doctored sex photos posted, and of course old hollywood’s famous ‘scare & slander and blacklist’ tactics, when negotiating|threatening
...should any in the industry, or other, not serve them, or corp hollywood's interest, wallet, crime of passion ego.
What Would You Do: if all abandoned you as old nazi, hollywood stole your precious, first motherhood—under contract—2002 ...then, attempted to destroy your rep, and ability to work again in your field, ever, because you protested? what would you do if this same perpetrator publicly, freely raped you and your small, enfant children’s lives while co-workers watched on (2002), and they never, relentlessly, ever stopped. ....then, had this same media bully publicly announce 5 years into this industry stalking, professional and personal, bashing that you are to work for them -
...“soon” ...”it’s getting closer” ...”it’s firming up” ...”duchovny says” ...”it’s confirmed” ...”the script has been sent” ...”it’s been signed”
...”it’s going to appen "
... “2008” ...“september”
... “november”
...blaugh
...blaugh ...blaugh?
(...hee, hee.)
Anderson, And All Artist Are Free: ...you can bet that she will choose a helen project, or not, or any other that is best suited for herself and family. and, duchovny, carter, spotnitz and old hollywood—mother & child bullies and cowards—who most certainly deserve each other, and the freedom to do their projects too ...together as one. the aug 2007 X-script issue, or other, no go excuses, really might be ...when attempting to contact her with orders to immediately report to the filming set ...perhaps the only response is ...ring, ring! ...ring, ring! ...ring, ring!
you can also bet that if anderson does xfiles2 it’s likely that there’s something extreme over her.
duchovny best known as an fbi agent on the popular long running tv series the x-files, didn’t speak a squeak, a peep or even a sneeze about x-files 2 in his aug 27, 2007 LA radio phone interview on monday? we’re not sure, if he was talking about his--paid vacation--Californiacation sitcom or real life, or if he can any longer tell the difference. it is interesting that in the character that was made to order, duchovny states these words ... “he comes to hollywood from NY”, as did GA in real life. “he’s drowning himself in booze and drugs and sex” ...duchovny says, but I don’t think GA did that in real life. “he’s a guy that can’t say no” ...duchovny confirms, and again GA, in real life, certainly can say no. the xfile’s2 duchovny, says... “it’s-a kind-of-a big ruse” but GA has made it perfectly CLEAR as to where she stands on matters. the x-files2, it’s out there ...duchovny, also says ...”it just kind-a falls in his lap” while GA is depicted, via the old hollywood media, as, just falling, in real life. wait a minute what are we talking about? oh, well ...what does it matter anyway. i remember the catchy one-liners. i hope you will too. duchovny confesses in phone interview ...“i’m standing by a dumpster”. he might or might not have been, in real life. in this over the top, pointed, embellished statement, via nazi radio 106.7 in LA, ...he may have been attempting to imply ...he’s just a humble, regular ole guy
...a real man ...one with a sincere fellow and social conscience. or, maybe his publicist just thought it might be politically correct ...who knows?
do we really care where duchovny stands now when doing real life commercials?
...a day late and a dollar short. the public is well aware where he, and the boys stood, prior, during and after 2002 ...when their young co-worker and first time mother, was forced to work 16-17 hour days, 5 & ½ day workweeks, for nine months straight for ten years in a row ...and where they stood, or sat, when GA stood up, and still does. where have all the brave and honorable men gone?
well, there it is.
*Gillian Anderson best known for ...well ...being Gillian Anderson. cool
best wishes,
thanks for having me
P.S. sorry duchovny ...but, i doubt luck will have you with your new nazi project,
“THE DEVIL WEARS DUCHOVNY”
...hee ...hee.

‘X-Files2 Coup Hollywood’
Silent Takeover Succeeds -
In negotiations Nazi Hollywood blocks:
unfame.com, splut, fametastic, cinematical,
firstshowing, sofeminine, contactmusic,
dailyexpress, showbizierland, guardianunlimited,
and afterellen and on all browsers and search engines (see all above for X-Files 2 coup silent takeover Hollywood)
unFame says: LA, CA. sources strongly speculated that:
Unlike Hitler who had no negotiation in surrender, Rudolph (new LA, arts|media powers) has to let old Hollywood have surrender under terms ...the 90 years of domination make it impossible to takeover without it’s cooperation. Gillian Anderson (UK/US, The Art’s Martyr) - who was one of the first of this generation in the industry to tell old Hollywood to, “take a F**king hick” - is one ego trip NaziWood will not let go ...as it slithers off center stage. Thus, see blocks above on any “x files 2 search”. No matter - Old Hollywood is over ...of course its intent is to take the UK|US “The Art’s Martyr” under with them at all cost for obvious reasons – see a Hitler type ego. Yet the new generation voice remains firm – still - rules in the US, “F**k Hollywood.”
