I grew up when the X-Files were popular, but never really gave a show a chance. With X-Files 2 hitting theaters this July - and after being so damned confused with the first movie - I ran out and purchased the Ultimate Collection. I 'll be a fan soon enough. But I guess I didn't have to go that far as in a new interview with producer Frank Spotnitz he explains that 20th Century Fox's sequel is a stand alone piece for any movie fan...

"We're not doing an exercise in nostalgia to appeal to the fans of the show," said co-writer and producer Frank Spotnitz to the National Post. "We saw this as an opportunity to introduce the characters to people who may have been too young . . . It has a reason for being, even if there'd never been a television show before."

If you remember, there were a lot of pics hitting the web from the set - very revealing pics. Rumor has it they're faux, so claims star Duchovny... is the joke on us? "We've had lots of paparazzi," said writer-director Chris Carter. "In Langley a couple of days ago a black SUV pulled up on the side of the road and there was a long lens pointed at us."

The next day, pictures of stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, locked in a full-on kiss as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, appeared on Internet fansites alongside breathless speculation about the characters' are-they-or-aren't-they romance.

"We staged that," Mr. Duchovny told reporters at the Sutton Place Hotel, where media were informed Anderson would not attend due to illness.

	JStephen 12:05am, March 14, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT I hope X-Files 3 picks up where the series really left off then. They can't just drop the story and keep making movies without ever addressing it again. Also, the first movie is a bridge between the 5th and 6th seasons, so don't even see it without the finale and premier of those respective seasons.
	Evil_Flip 8:36pm, March 14, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT I'm going the way carters wants it. I don't watch any of the pics etc. and want to be suprised in the cinema. That's btw what I do with most movies these days, if they convinced me I stop watching the promo/leaked stuff.

	biledemon3 10:44pm, March 14, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT X-files in the 9th season wa sa let down and they do need to make a film for the FANS... they are just trying to cash in on the little bit of fame that they might be able to milk out of the X-files name.. which is bullshit if you ask me. If anyone has seen how the series ended, the very last episode... it was a bitch. a horrible let-down and the last episode itself could have been made into a film and it should have been. Now how about the CANCER MAN- he better be in this film dammit!
