XF3 CHANCES?
Hi Frank,
Will you answer on your blog the chances of a third "X-Files" movie?
Thank you,
Juston
Hi, Mr. Spotnitz!
I’m Andrea, an Italian fan from the very beginning of your "X-Files" journey, when few people watched this strange and new series, which very soon became an astonishing saga that changed television forever. I want to thank you and Mr. Carter so much. You have deeply affected me, and why? Because both of you have an astonishing touch with this series, not just with the fantasy aspects, but overall for the true souls you have given to your characters, Mulder and Scully. The last movie is great evidence of that.
When I saw "The X-Files 2" in theatres, I felt the same magic of the show and very deep emotions about Scully and Mulder, with your efforts you have given us a chance to travel back in time as well as something new, and I would like to explore much more.
I hope for an extended cut of the movie on DVD.
I would like to tell you right now, I WANT TO BELIEVE! Thanks a lot for your efforts to bring back "X-Files" to the cinemas.
Can I hope…? Is there a little hope for an "X-Files 3" about the alien invasion targeted at the end of the series to happen in 2012?
I really hope for that, I know you and Mr. Carter will do the best for the third movie, a great alien invasion movie, very creepy and dark, in the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"-style, where Scully And Mulder will escape from aliens looking for their child to save him. I really would love and hope to see "X-Files 3," please keep a place in the third one for John Doggett and Monica Reyes.
I hope Fox, want to believe "The X-Files" can be a great movie franchise, I cross my fingers for it.
Mr. Spotnitz, thanks a lot for your passion and talent and please send an Italian thanks to Mr. Carter for his vision and his astonishing talent.
P.S. In "I Want To Believe," Scully said in the Mulder telephone call that ASAC Dakota Whitney is still alive, but the sub-plot in the movie wasn’t closed, can I ask you why? In that scene I believed I saw her behind Scully -- is it Dakota who is down the stairs behind Scully when she's on the phone?
Thanks a lot

Hello again,
I know you have already answered many questions about this but I thought I would try and take a different approach. All us X Files fans are dying to see the continuation of the alien storyline. I recently asked you if you think it is possible to conclude the story in a made for TV movie, if a third movie was not green lighted. You stated that the likelihood of that is not good. However, I, and my others, would like to know why not? "X-Files" made Fox what it is today. Without the "Files" the network would never have become as successful as it is. Why would Fox not what to give the series what is deserves? (It deserves another big screen movie but I guess we will have to wait and see about that.) I think it would be a great idea to have a 2 or 3 hour special about the alien invasion. This story was what gave life to "The X-Files," along with Mulder and Scully's relationship. Please think about it and I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea, I know millions of others would too.
Thank You

I would like to be able to tell you whether there will be another "X-Files" movie, but we just don't know yet. While the movie will undoubtedly be profitable, it was far from the box-office success we all hoped it would be. The strength of DVD sales this winter may well help the studio (and us) decide whether there is an audience for a third movie. As for Vincent's question, the economics of network television unfortunately don't make a TV movie a likely alternative. With very rare exceptions, networks just don't make original movies anymore unless they're platforms for possible TV series.
Regarding why Scully said the "agent is still alive," she was referring to Monica Bannan, not Dakota Whitney, meaning that Monica Bannan's body was still alive (even though her head, clearly, was not!).
