I will always remember 90s pop culture fondly - Clueless, Melrose Place, Seinfeld, and of course, The X-Files. I recall sitting in the darkened movie theatre in June of 1998, beside myself with anticipation over The X-Files movie. Mulder and Scully on the big screen! Could life get any better?
Anyway, a few years later, Duchovny bailed, the show started to suck, and it was actually sort of a relief when it went off the air. But when The X-Files was good, it was about as good as television can be.
Since The X-Files ended its run in 2002, there have been occasional rumblings over a potential sequel to the 1998 film. Of course, it has all been very hypothetical and I've had doubts that The X-Files 2 would ever come to fruition. However, lately, these rumblings seem to have some hint of a promise that the film may eventually find its way out of development hell. According to producers, there is a script being written, and the actors are on board.
I know, "trust no one" and all, but when I really hope this film gets made. I think the world is ready for 90s nostalgia. And I miss Mulder and Scully.
