Bowman Eager For X-Files 2

 

Rob Bowman, who directed the 1998 movie version of The X-Files, told SCI FI Wire that he's open to helming a follow-up—but that he hasn't been asked yet. "I would be honored to direct it," Bowman said in an interview while promoting Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King, the upcoming TNT anthology series. "The only thing is I can't ask myself to do it. That's up to [The X-Files creator] Chris [Carter] and the studio. I've always said—and I've always believed, most importantly—I can't wait to see that film. If I'm invited to participate as a director, great, and if I'm not, that would be fine, too."

 

No start date has been announced for The X-Files 2, which has been delayed in part by Carter's legal battles with 20th Century Fox over revenues from the old X-Files series. But the pieces look to be in place for the project to finally come together, and all of the principals have said they're interested in coming back.

 

"It's Chris' show, and David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson] are the face of the show," Bowman said. "If it's not me, I can live happily knowing that I had my great time on the show. If I do get it, hey, man, I'm going to kill myself making the best movie I possibly can."

 

Bowman cut his directing teeth in television, helming multiple episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files, among other shows, as well as the movies Reign of Fire and Elektra. Most recently, Bowman directed two episodes of Nightmares & Dreamscapes and the pilot of the upcoming ABC SF series Day Break, which is slated for a midseason debut. —Ian Spelling

Wowee, I loved the first one, WE WANT A 2ND ONE!

bring it on!!!!

did anyone see the finale the of show and how it ended.... I wonder how it'll play into the movie... ?

Yeah! Good point, it was a really soppy ending!

lol I was happy they ended up together.. but I mean, what happens next!? Are they still with the FBI? Does Mulder get better? Does Scully have a baby? whats the deal!! lol

Yes I know! There are loads of things left unanswered hehe but only geeks like us notice.

:hippy: I love the Lone Gunmen!!

Oh yes, me too. :D

There's been talk of a second movie ever since the first. I've heard before that the series ending was specifically written with a second movie in mind, which is why things weren't tied up as tightly as they could have been.

 

I hope they make one. Should be soonish, though for consistancy's (and memory's) sake.

Come on people get this thing going!!!!!!

I love Mulder...... :heart:

They're not planning on continuing the second movie on from the series finale. They want to do a stand alone movie so they are not tied up with the mythology. But Chris Carter is sueing FOX at the moment over syndication rights to the series so I'd be surprised if the movie ever gets off the ground.

yeah, they´ve been talking about it ever since the show ended. It was supposed to be on cinemas a year after, on Christmas...Im not getting my hopes up again, as things are right now, with those law problems and all, the movie wont ever be done! :cry: even though the main actors would like to do it, or so ive heard.

Dang :(
