X-Files fans can rejoice, as star David Duchovny revealed that plans are well underway for another theatrical movie based on the Fox series.
“I think we’re going to do a movie in the fall,” the actor told USA TODAY. “I’m actually supposed to get a script next week,” penned by creator Chris Carter and longtime writer Frank Spotnick. Carter also will direct the film.
Duchovny and co-star Gillian Anderson are committed to the project, which Duchovny expects will begin in November. The first X-Files movie, released in 1998, grossed almost $190 million worldwide.
Duchovny says it may be tough at first to re-inhabit the role of Fox Mulder. “I don’t want to be imitating myself; it’ll have to be organic.” Meantime, he’s starring in Showtime comedy Californication, premiering Aug. 13.
