X-Files 2 is officially on. Fox announced that it will hit theaters on July 25, 2008 with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson both reprising their roles from the hit TV series. As with the first movie, series creator Chris Carter will direct from a script he co-wrote with Frank Spotnitz. As you might expect, very little is known about the plot and the press release boasts that the only people who know the story are "top studio brass and the film’s principals." What we do know is that it will be a stand-alone story that will take the relationship of Mulder and Scully in "unexpected directions."
Like I've said before it has been a loooooong time since the show was on the air. But I'll still check it out since I loved the show. The release date coincides with Comic-Con. I hope they make an appearance anyway!
NBC has pulled the plug on Heroes: Origins, the Heroes spin-off that was slated to run next April. The network declined comment, but sources said the possible strike by the Writers Guild of America — which could happen after the guild's contract expires midnight Thursday — played a role in the decision.
"Looking at everything in context of the strike, we’re evaluating all of our production commitments," said one insider. "Scripts haven’t been written yet."
Origins was designed to provide fans with six episodes of a fresh Heroes-related show in place of repeats in the spring. If the labor situation changes quickly, the network could revisit the decision to scrap the show.
Dagger! Maybe Kevin Smith and Eli Roth can come direct a regular episode instead. I thought this was a mistake for a new series to do anyway. They were believing their own hype a little too much.
