Former celebrity Gillian Anderson recently spoke out about that long rumored X-Files movie sequel and she assured everyone that yes, it’s really really really happening this time. No really!
You’ll remember that last week her X-Files co-star David Duchovny started talking about the sequel again, and now Gillian has spoken to Empire and added her voice to his. She says, “Every year or two they talk about it again, but it seems like it might be for real this time. Somehow it seems like somebody’s really serious about it. I know that Chris’ lawsuit with Fox is over, so maybe now it can be done.”
She didn’t offer up much information on what it would be about, just insists it will be scary and that she doesn’t “think they’re interested in touching on any of the conspiracy stuff.” Wait a minute… isn’t X-Files nothing but conspiracy stuff? I mean, isn’t the the whole point of the franchise? It’s not A Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s creepy, scary, conspiracy stuff. It’s aliens and secret government cover ups. How can you make an X-Files movie without “touching on any of the conspiracy stuff”?
I’m still not convinced the movie is actually happening. I’m filing X-Files 2 next to Indiana Jones 4 in my “I’ll believe it when I see it” file.
