Stop anybody on the street and ask them what one thing they'd like most in the world, and rather than saying "happiness" or "food" or "my mum to come back to life and kiss me on the face" they'll all probably say "another X-Files film, please."

Because, well, who wouldn't want to see a sequel to X-Files: The Movie? Who wouldn't want to see the completely unnecessary sequel to a film that was released when the TV series it was based on was already on the wane? Who wouldn't want to see a smarmy man running around shouting "Look! Aliens and stuff" at a disinterested ginger woman before looking into the middle-distance in a way that's supposed to look deep and mysterious? You wouldn't? Well tough shit, because a sequel to the X-Files movie is on the way, and the script's been written for it and everything. David Duchovny said so himself.
