Seems the treatment for an “X-Files” sequel isn’t being used as lining for the cutlery drawer after all.
Frank Spotnitz, co-executive producer of the hit series, tells SCI FI Wire that a second feature film based on the television series is still in the works. “My deal has been done—and I’m not exaggerating—for a year and a half”. He adds, “There are other deals, and you can guess who the people are [who are] involved, and I don’t know why they’re taking so long. It’s very frustrating to me. I hoped the movie would be done now.”
Until everything’s signed, he says, they’re not starting on the script.
“Obviously, I’m very busy right now, but it means a lot to me,” he said. “I would love to do it, and I wish that we could get all the business things in order so it could happen. … These are things that happen between lawyers, and I’m not privy to it because it’s not my deal. But I know [stars] David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson] want to do it. I know Chris wants to do it. I don’t know where the holdup is. But I hope it happens. I remain optimistic it will happen. If you’d asked me a year ago, I never would have believed it still wouldn’t be in the works at this point.”
