It has been ten years since The X-Files<\/em> left your TV screen, and four years since a lukewarm showing from second movie, 2008’s X-Files: I Want To Believe<\/em><\/a>, but star\u00a0David Duchovny hasn’t given up hope.<\/p>\n

“That book doesn\u2019t close until somebody dies, really,” Duchovny told Collider.<\/p>\n

“One of the greatnesses of the show was its open-endedness. It was about possibility. It wasn\u2019t about closure. It just couldn\u2019t be. There is no such thing as that story ever ending. Those characters are forever searching. That\u2019s what they do. Even if we\u2019re not watching them, they\u2019re out there, in some dimension. Mulder and Scully are still doing their thing \u2018cause that\u2019s their nature.<\/p>\n

“I would love to do another film, or more. I think we\u2019re all game for it. I know I\u2019m kind of perplexed that Fox isn\u2019t more [enthusiastic]. Here\u2019s a homegrown property that you don\u2019t have to go buy, like fuckin\u2019\u00a0Green Lantern<\/em><\/a>\u00a0or something, to make it. Here you\u2019ve got an actual action franchise that\u2019s your own.\u00a0I think Chris [Carter] is probably working on an idea, so we\u2019ll see.”<\/p>\n

As to why he thought X-Files: I Want To Believe<\/em> met with a fairly muted reception, Duchovny added, “Unfortunately, with the last one, they didn\u2019t spend the money to compete in a summer fashion, and they brought it out in the summer. It should be a summer film. It should be an action film. But, the last one we made was not. The last one we made was a dark, contemplative, small $25 million film. It was basically an independent film. When you come out against Batman, it\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
