Duchovny Talking Up "X-Files 2" Again

But could this time be the time it really comes true?

I'll believe it when Fox officially announces it.

Once again, David Duchonvy is talking up "X-Files 2" as being good to go. He said last weekend he expects to see a script this week. That, at least, is a step closer to this film becoming a reality. And with Chris Carter's lawsuit against Fox now settled perhaps that will prove to be the final hurdle that remained to be cleared.

Again, I'll believe it when Fox officially announces it.

It seems like decades ago that I first reported that Fox had the film in development. It feels like an eternity has come and gone despite all the comments from Duchovny which said this film was going to happen. And it has been nearly a decade since the first film was released. If it does happen will there be enough revival interest in a show that was so good for so long but ended so badly?

We'll see if this time Duchovny's words prove prophetic or merely are another case of him expressing optimism about a project that's been stuck in Development Hell for the past several years.
