NEW X-FILES MOVIE TO BE RELEASED IN JULY
Six years after the X-Files aired its final episode and ten years after a movie version of the show was released, Fox has scheduled a second theatrical sequel to be released on July 25, 2008. The studio said Wednesday that the movie will reunite David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, but it provided no further details about it, except that shooting is expected to begin in February in Vancouver, where most of the original TV series was filmed.

Chris Carter should really hang it up when it comes to "X-Files" incarnations. He
should of taken the six years hiatus to come up with some new ideas, instead of subjecting
audiences to an agonizing resurrection of the X-Files. Has he reached the end whe
n it comes to new, original ideas? Or did he reach it a long time ago. Remember
the series Millenium? They couldn't even give that away in syndication. Didn't
mind the original TV series. But the last six years of it was absolutely dull, uninteresti
ng, farfetched. We all remember David Duchovny's public departure because he wanted
it filmed in LA (and more money). Now we see him back. How many shows did he do
in the last six years that made any real money? Chris Carter is finished as a director/w
riter/producer after this bomb. New talent on their way up to replace him.

<strong>A NAZI HOLLYWOOD 'X-FILE 2' - FOR REAL</strong>
"I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING IT."
(GILLIAN ANDERSON FEB, 2008)
[Reality lies behind the camera not in front.]
<strong>CONWONDER 2008 'X-FILES 2' - BROKEN PANEL -
A+ ANDERSON HOLDS INTEGRITY</strong>
The upcoming movie 'X-Files 2' hype was thrown out to the somewhat excited San Francisco
fans at the WonderCon 2008 event last week. Notably, Gillian Anderson was in true
Anderson form. Resistance.
The 'horse and pony act' opened with Spotnitz as the first to be introduced. He then
entered from stage left. Carter's introduction came next. He then made his entrance.
Both uneventfully took their seats side by side at the end of a long table which
stretched the length of the stage, facing the Sci-fi audience. The noisy room jumped
to being more rowdy and steady with moderate applause and shout-outs.
Anderson then suddenly took the stage without being announced and it was clear that
it wasn't by accident. She refused to be heeled onto the stage. The house exploded
into riotous appreciation. In the deafening confusion Duchvony hastily slipped onto
the stage at a half run coming up from behind her. The roaring crowd then noticeably
muted ever so slightly a notch or two. Anderson's stride across the stage was relaxed
with calm radiance looking neither left nor right and she seemed almost oblivious
to the malay going on around her. Noticing the drop in the sound level she whipped a
sharp glance over her shoulder, almost flinching at Duchvony's rushing in on her
unexpectedly.
A bit startled but not surprised, in a spontaneous split second an expression snapped
across her face in the direction of his feet. She was less than amused. Simultaneously
she remained unruffled, and gracious to a point, just short of striking out in refl
ex. The stalking Californication celebrity looked done in and unkempt while taking
his questionable fill of her thunder. Duchvony pretended not to notice as he found
his way to his chair and nervously gaged the room while mechanically acting his jacket
onto the back of his chair.
His 'grasping at straws' entrance correlates famously and congruently with his kind
of professional ethics. This could be the sum of his inner working dynamics with
Anderson as a whole then and now, a microcosm or summation of their decade old rift;
a palpably weird and tense moment. His 'X-Files 2' stage debut was an embarrassing and
blatantly awkward moment, tripping them both up. It immediately brought back 2002
flashbacks of Duchovny's past intolerable uneasiness with Anderson's popularity overshadowi
ng his own, his then demanding higher pay, and then his exiting from the TV X-Files
first (knowing she wisely had resigned.) Not much has changed between GA & DD.
As a prelude to the panel event: For those who may not know, old Hollywood has stalked
and threatened Anderson with this project for years. Consequently throughout the
panel discussions Anderson displayed a near morose demeanor and tone. She mixed it
up with an occasional pouty lip of pointed displeasure. She at one point interjected
a show stopping (literally) comment relating to them wanting to fire her during the
X-Files TV series. More importantly, her absolute refrain from ever endorsing the
movie spoke volumes.
This holds true especially for those who are familiar with the facts. Old corp. Hollywood,
along with their X-Files projects, has a tarnished and documented history. It's extremely
oppressive. There's no love lost between them and Anderson. This coincides with the hostilities
injected and lack of support from coworkers on the set of the TV X-Files, in Anderson's
fight against departmental injustices relating to women's rights for working mothers.
All the boys on the WonderCon 2008 'X-Files 2' panel showed the world precisely were they
stood (or rather sat) in 2002 when Gillian Anderson stood up for herself, more importantly
for her first newborn child and for women's rights.
Taking the bizarre further, corp. Hollywood's suspiciously handpicked members [or
should we say paid actors] of the audience and/or questions stunk of methodical foul
play. On average, Carter and old Hollywood's 'X-Files 2' marketing voice and promoter
Duchvony received the sophisticated beautifully scripted glorifying questions. Anderson
got the star-struck fan on behavioral meds spewing garble.
IN EXAMPLE (to paraphrase):
'David haven't you almost got your Doctorate Degree and you're famous. Tell us how
you do it! Can you please give us your secret?'
'Gillian I've watched you since I was three ...garble, garble ...and X-Files series
...garble, garble ...I wuvvy you ...goobby, wooby, oobby! ...ooh!'
The entire 'X-Files 2' broken WonderCon panel affair [Spotnitz, Carter, Anderson
and Duchvony] was captured on video and spread widely on the internet.
The unedited full version revealed such a truthful state of affairs indeed. It highly
emphasized the reality that this group is so sadly lacking in mutual comradery and
continuity that the video immediately disappeared off the net. "Sorry video no longer a
vailable" started popping up everywhere and rightly so [it's no longer to be found.]
This WonderCon panel's dirty laundry of bygone X-Files days captured digitally said
it all. No amount of minute Hollywood office congeniality and/or smiles, backhanded
jesting (mostly directed at GA by DD to include an oral copulation jab), or poses
for the still shot could ever hope to mask the disjointed lameness of this forced
gathering of people.
The WonderCon panel video was killed within 24 hrs and replaced with a flood of -the
same- half dozen giant beautiful photos showing friendly smiles now plastered all
over the net.
These smiley-face mili-seconds caught digitally were carefully chosen and constructed
as 'real time' to misrepresent the truth of the moment and paint a facade of solidarity
and success. Not even the trick photography of old Hollywood can put that wonderland back
together again. Overall this 'X-Files 2' group of broken pieces was an example of
forced association at its best.
There's little doubt that this 'X-Files 2' movie sequel has all the indicators of
cheap graphics, a lot of Connolly and Peet, a little of Duchovny and just a hint
of substance, Anderson. Oh, and a substantial amount of public rip off.$ It should
give old Hollywood some travel money though, for about a year. Old corp. Hollywood
is done in Hollywood CA and it seems they're heading to Africa.
As the biggest diamond merchants in the world, their top executives are already setup
in Africa's diamond fields, trying to get us into another fine mess no doubt. We
can only hope that the general public won't be interested in supplying a war in Africa
so these giant corp. conglomerates can capture their blood diamond market like they
captured society's arts/media (resulting in today's arts/media monopoly iron curtain.)
