LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fans of "The X-Files" no longer have to rely on Internet rumors to seek the truth about a sequel to the 1998 movie based on the popular TV series.

On Wednesday, Fox announced production will start December 10 on the sequel, which reunites the show's stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The studio also picked July 25 as the U.S. release date.
Series creator Chris Carter will direct the still-untitled film. Carter also co-wrote the screenplay with "X-Files" veteran Frank Spotnitz. The duo also are producing. Shooting will take place in Vancouver.
The studio is staying little about the film's story line. All that is being revealed is that it is a "supernatural thriller" and that the movie will take the complicated relationship between FBI agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions as Mulder continues on his quest for the truth and Scully remains inextricably tied to her partner's pursuits.
Fox's "X-Files" ran for nine seasons, ending in 2002. The first feature film, produced by Carter and co-written with Spotnitz, grossed $187 million worldwide.
The July 25 release date would put "X-Files" up against "Step Brothers," a comedy starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and an untitled comedy starring Ice Cube.
"All I can say about the plot," said Duchovny, "is that we're trying to figure out why we're going up against an Ice Cube comedy. My character, Mulder, realizes that the greatest mystery in the world is how Cube became such an incredible pussy over the past decade. Oh, and Gillian and I get naked, which ought to please all the fat nerds living in their parents' basements."
Speaking of David Duchovny, I'm kinda sorry I came back to this time period instead of the early 90's so I could bone the hell out of 'Flying Blind' era Téa Leoni. I mean, she's hot now, but back then, WHOA.
I've got a robo-woody. Oh, and the X-Files can go fuck themselves.
If its a stand alone movie, I'll be a lot happier than if it follows the over drawn subplot through the entire series.
The stand alone eps were the best.
I wish they'd release a DVD set of them (or the best of).

supposedly, it is.

known to x-philes as "monster of the week" episodes...

man, the full-season sets are so much cheaper now than they were when i picked them up... i'm so pissed. they're all between $35 and $40 a piece now. they were a fuckin' $150 each when i was getting them. at least i got them at $100 because of my discount (tower).
everyone who loves TV on DVD sets owes me and all the other x-philes a lot of credit. if it weren't for us, it wouldn't have been proven as a lucrative market. the x-files season sets were like, the pilot program for TV on DVD.

"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."
