X-Files 2008?

The truth is still out there…it just doesn’t have a film title yet. The creator of the hit series, Chris Carter and his co-writer, Frank Spotnitz, showed a trailer of the movie last Wednesday during the 25th annual William S. Paley Television Festival.

The movie returns with the old crew of Fox Mulder, played by David Duchovny, and Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson. The story starts after six years from the end of the TV series (lasted from 1993 to 2002 so do the math). According to reports, it’ll distance itself from the alien mythology and instead focus on more personal matters like Scully’s child.

We’re still hoping that aliens move in somewhere in the movie.

Sir Ian McKellen, otherwise known to the young generation as both the evil mutant Magneto in the X-men series and as the White Wizard Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, have no qualms in reprising his role as the mentioned wizard in β€œThe Hobbit”–a prequel to the the Lord of the Rings.

When asked to comment about his return to the L.O.T.R. Franchise, he said,”Yes, I will, if PETER JACKSON and I have anything to do with it, he being the producer and me being, on the whole, a very lucky actor.” Hopefully the the director, Guillermo del Torre agrees with him.
