It's time for Chappelle to hit the "Wrap It Up" button. Nobody wants a stand-alone story. We want the whole alien/conspiracy shit to be wrapped up and done. THEN go and do your other stories. Fuck.

This movie looks bad ass and can't wait. Serious this is turning out to be a good summer for horror. With The Strangers kicking ass and now the X - Files looking really scary and weird. I can't wait.

NixEclips: WELL SAID. The whole reason i watched the show was the mythology episodes. If the next movie isn't about the invasion I'll be pissed...

I'm happy either way, I mean, come on... it's the fucking X-Files... did anyone even think we'd see it again?

I'm already whistling the theme tune in my head. I'm stoked this is coming.

doesnt the invasion start in 2012 ? there must be a super sweet invasion alien monster movie coming up for 2012 ! :)

I'm glad it's a stand-alone story.

i agree w/ Sea Hag. i loved the X-files (Gillian Anderson rules!), but the mythology storyline was way too complicated and (IMO) boring. i always loved the stand alone episodes. so i'm glad the movie will be one!

like i said before i only seen a handful of the xfiles series but i am familiar with it. never seen the first one but am gonig to check it out and this one looks good...wouldnt be to bad for a standalone movie.

I actually got very tired of the mythology stories, mainly for their convoluted feel. My favorite episodes were among the stand alone eps, and I am looking forward to more like that. Besides, they will help draw in a larger audience, and thus more money.

I questioned the reason to release a stand alone story in the first X-Files movie in ten years, and six years since the end of the TV Series, but, Chris Carter has to find a way & a reason to bring back Mulder & Scully, and what way better than a stand alone scary as hell story. Remember, both Mulder & Scully are wanted, so Chris Carter had to bring them back slowly, as advisers to this investigation. I'm sure Chris and Frank Spotnitz will tie in they're return, in some way that they will be pardoned, so they could comeback to the F.B.I, and they're old jobs, as Special Investigator Agents, and the F.B.I Officially reopening the X-Files. Then, they will be ready for the next X-Files film, that will return the X-Files to close out a pending case, that has been opened since almost the beginning of the show and tie up all the loose ends when Mulder & Scully will do battle with an old enemy, the Alien Bounty Hunter and the rest of his kind, when they come to take over, recolonize and repopulate the Earth with they're own kind on that fateful day, Dec 21, 2012. Then, let the final battle begin! Also, look for a return of another old friend that everybody thinks dead, here's a one word clue on his idenity, and, if you don't know who he is, your not a true believer, "Morley" Let's enjoy the ride, and if Chris Carter wants to release more movies after these next two, well I say, bring'em on! I'll never give up on searching for the Truth, cause it's still out there!!!!!
