"There is a plan to make another 'The X-Files' movie, the summer following the last season of the show [which will be next year]," according to Mitch Pileggi, who plays Asst. Director Walter Skinner.
He also says he wasn't concerned that this past season would be the final one for the series "because I knew what everyone's contracts were."
Pileggi reports the team will return to work in late July. That includes his wife, Arlene, who is Gillian Anderson's photo double on the show, and sometimes plays Skinner's secretary.
"It's hard to get through our scenes together sometimes because of laughing at each other," he says. "She's not used to seeing me with that hard demeanor."
The movie will most probably centre around the alien colonisation of Earth. However, Chris Carter has said that a more likely scenario is a non-mytharc movie, possibly a ghost story. But numerous sources have stated that the colonisation will be wrapped up, with big explosions and the like.
One thing that is not a rumor is that the script for this new film is finished, done with and under lock and key.
Chris Carter recently spoke out about the sequel. Here's what he said: "There will be a second X-Files movie as far as I am concerned. But it won't be on this summer's hiatus. It seems like the actors are very excited to do it. It's just a matter of finding the time, and I think it would either come out in the summer of 2001 or possibly 2002. It would have been great to culminate the series and go right into the next big movie. I think there will be a year, or possibly two years in between."
Dark Horizons said this: "With the X-Files permanently closed, Agents Mulder and Scully must prove once and for all the conspiracy of extraterrestrial life."
Carter said that next season, what really happened to Mulder's sister won't be resolved, leaving it open to be resolved in the next movie. Carter confirmed that he wrote the movie and that Rob Bowman will once again direct it.
Carter says "We have an idea. We want to do a standalone, just a really good scary movie, not something that's tied into the mythology of the show.
