Gillian Anderson Hints at Third X-Files Movie (Maybe)

It's already been rebooted. They call it Fringe now, and it's way more shit kicking awesome than the old series.

I still love The X-Files and I ABSOLUTELY ADORED the "I want to believe" film! What you say is unbelievable - I know hundreds of Philes (X-Files fans) that DO WANT a third movie to happen! I know them over YouTube, Xfilesnews.com, tv.com, facebook, Haven and the BigLight network. Everywhere I go to, people want XF3!

YES we can! :D

Mr. Bloomer,

You may want to check your facts. The comment the we posted that Gillian made was confirmed. yes, there are some sites that post news without any confirmation, we are not one of those sites. It would serve no purpose for us to post anything that we hadn't confirmed.

The reason why XFilesNews is happy to make news is that after reporting it for almost 2 years, they are running a campaign to FOX for a third "X-Files" film.

Hi there Jeffrey. I suspect you will get quite a lot of comments on this story. I just wanted to clarify that Gillian's comment at that film festival was as follows,

"There isn't any reason not to do it, we still enjoy doing it...they've talked about doing it in 2012, I think there were some discussions about that."

I am glad you guys here at Paste liked the last film. The consensus from most fans is that they would love to see another film re-visit the mythology of the show in a possible 2012 storyline.

We believe in the future - in XF3!

A third X-Files movie would be great!

actually, the fanbase is pretty split on another film. many thought the last one was sub par, and its time to call it a day. I imagine though, you will get swamped with comments about how fans want another movie. You should know that its not the majority, or all fans. just a very vocal group who want to get the word out so that FOX will comment.

Well I would most certainly love to see third movie... And I can say with certainty I know lots of people who would love that too. "I want to believe" had budget of only 30 mil and it turned out great - for those who care to "read between the lines". Many people expected it to be something like "Independence day" so it is no wonder they were disappointed - X-Files have always been intelligent series which made you think and not simply dwell in special effects. And the mere fact X-Files fandom is still so strong (with more and more new fans every single day - I even know some whose parents are fans too, so it kinda "runs in the family") says enough about why we need another movie.

I know two X-Files fans who don't want to see a third film.. but about 50 who do!

The fans who want X-Files 3 are the majority, I can assure you.

No matter if they liked or disliked the second film, almost every Phile I know NEEDS to see how the story continues. The 2012 story has to be told. David, Gillian and Chris Carter want to do it and there is most certainly a huge audience for "XF3".

Bring it on!

Part of our 'Believe in the future campaign' was the "I want to believe" week. It meant that us fans should send a sign to 20th century Fox by buying "I want to believe" DVDs.
If it was a small group pushing for it, then Amazon would not have had to restock the film 4 times during the IWTB week.

:)

I'm also a fan (among many) who would love a 3rd movie, particularly one regarding the series mythology concerning the 2012 alien colonization.

As for "I want to believe": I'd say it more than made it into the black considering that it had a 30 million dollar budget and it grossed over 65 million worldwide. Add to that, the people involved in the franchise are all on board along and the die-hard and casual viewers are looking forward to it, a third film doesn't really seem that remote a possibility.

I'd love a 3rd film. The characters of Mulder and Scully are two of the best ever created, and I would welcome a chance to enjoy them again. Plus, the story is fascinating to me-- whether you liked the surface story with the "aliens" metaphor, or the deeper story of "Mulder's search for God" at the heart of the show; you'd be hard pressed to find anything else this compelling.

Of course we want another film - and there are a lot of us out there. I Want to Believe was a great film, it's just to bad that almost everyone drank the Dark Knight kool-aid. Honestly can anyone think for themselves anymore or do they just flock to the latest trend like a bunch of lemmings?

We watched the series for 9 years. They've had more than enough time to bring it back to glory (season 1-5). The last one sucked. Time to bury it.

people are posting this article on fan sites, asking those who are in the XF3 army to post saying they want another film, so you know, of course the comments are going to be slanted one way.

and as for most fans wanting it, its so not true. its just that the fans who DON'T want it are burned at the stake for saying so, so we keep our mouths shut. :)

and in response to niniane, those of us that didn't like it 'got it', we just thought it was poorly written and executed. and no, we were not expecting Independence day.

Well the story has to end, so I say give it one more try! I'm in for one more movie!

The fandom for The X-Files is large and quite diverse. No one place or fansite represents all fans.

The fans who have been around longer are used to having information confirmed from Fox representatives or Fox sources and not as a badly translated news item from Sarajevo. This was a policy that was fairly strict and reinforced so information could be as accurate as possible.

I would like a third movie, but I personally prefer the old policies.

WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!WE WANT XF3!!

I really hate everyones negativity toward a new x-files movie. I LOVE the xfiles and I know theres millions of other people out there who do so as well and who also cannot wait for this 3rd movie to get made. WE WANT XFILES 3!!!!! I can't wait to go see it in theaters. lets go, Chris and Frank! :) (and gillian and david, too, of course)

It is so great to see that many websites are caught on this XF3 Virus. Why? well, it is only obvious that the more publicity and force of demand is heard, better are the chances for XF3 to happen.
As to the comments about some Philes not wanting a third movie because they didn´t like IWTB, well, I can only say "People You are a MINORITY". Many Many Many Philes from all over the world want this movie, almost in every language they are asking for it: English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Russian, Greek, and various others. How can a mass of fans from so many places in the world be confused or uncertain??
If those of you who have so gallantly posted in some others websites their contempt for the XF-LA era, or IWTB or even the writers, there is no need to stall or even get in the way of what the majority wants. Fact is, True Fans (as in the definition of the word) like, respect, learn, analyze, see and understand the truth behind the story. Those of you who say that the people who post here are not fans, or that we just want to make a fuss over something - let me tell you once more, you are wrong. And frankly, is disrespectful.
Is only together as a team can we truly make our voices heard: We are Believers - We Want XF3. And as Ada said before me:
YES WE CAN!!

Hopefully there's an XF3!!!! Of course...IWTB wasn't that good...But the final X-Files movie should wrap up the rumored 'end of the world' storyline so many philes out there can stop going crazy.

If there is going to be X-Files 3, I'm going to see it 30 times in the cinema!! I believe it will happen and I can't wait!!

X-FILES FOREVER!!

Yes! Yes I want a new movie!

And the funny thing is that even my family and most of my friends said they would go see XF3 with me - and they are not X-Philes! :)

I'm sure it will be a success!

I actually liked both movies and I hope that there will be a third one (despite that this would mark the end of the story of Mulder and Scully).

IWTB was a brave attemp do something different and Carter and Spontitz were slated by so called critics for this.
The plot was a character piece and a gift for the fans. They managed to surprise me and that isn't something that most movies are able to accomplish.
Yes, it was dirfferent as I suspected but in a good way. I was dreading any mainstream popcorn crap.

That people that expected Aliens and UFOs were disappointed which is something I can understand. But I can't understand why there is an almost orgiastic joy in putting the movie and the people behind it down (especially if you call yourelf a fan of this show). It can't be compared to mainstream blockbusters like Dark Knight, in my opinion 20th Century FOX is to blame for releasing the movie in summer a week after the Dark Knight, so people went into the cinema and expected a summer movie like Fight the Future.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a third movie. The X-Files is cult and even 15 years after the pilot it still kicks the a** of all rip-off wannabe shows. If this wouldn't be the case people wouldn't talk about a 3rd movie or the show in general 7 years after the last episode aired.
Semper Fi, as they say. I will stay with the show to the end, even if that means to a bitter end.

I find it funny that there is animosity toward those that still want another movie. When have fans been polled as to wether they want a movie or not? To say that, those that want it, are in the minority sounds faulty. There is obviously still interest in the show. It would appear that those of XFN and sites of its nature, are not trying to push their views on other. Rather they seem to be trying to unify fans worldwide and tell FOX studios that interest still exists. This is a comment section, its gonna be skewed and bias. What comment section isn't? It would also aid some to acknowledge that XFN is a fansite that reports information that educates fans on the happenings of the X-files universe. It's not network news and they don't act like they are.

I have to agree with Anonymous (post before mine). Xfilesnews.com has always been known for serious journalism. Just go through the news archive! :)
The girls who run it are sincere, decent people. I am 100% certain that Gillian indeed said that she wants to do XF3. :)

I believe in XF3!

I want to believe.

Of course I want XF3!! The story leading up to 2012 is a must and I want it asap!! I'll never give up on wanting more XF.

No thanks, no more XF! The last film was so bad I lost all faith in it. Let David Duchovny play himself in "Californication" and leave Gillian Anderson to the theatre scene in London. She is doing marvellous without TXF!

Excuse me, paypal but if they WANT to do it and if there is the audience for this film, why the hell not do it?

I'll go watch it and I know quite some people who are interested to see it as well [Philes and 'normal people' ;)].

The second film didn't do so well because it couldn't attract a larger non-fan audience but when it comes to aliens and the 2012 story, a lot of people are going to want to see XF3.

Especially if FOX drums up business a bit (unlike with 'I want to believe').

So, all in all YES to XF3!!

The Truth is that we want XF3… 2012 needs to be an XF year!

Definitely want XF3! The 2012 storyline needs to be finished.

YES! Bring on X Files 3! This was such a great show and I would LOVE to see a resolution to the alien invasion! The last movie was good but I think we should give them a chance to do even better!

I would LOVE to see another X-files movie! I loved the show and miss the show. X-Files is sooo much better than Fringe and Lost. I loved the last movie! I want another one!

YES I WANT ANOTHER XF MOVIE! YES YES YES MORE XF MORE XF I WANT XF3 AND XF4 AND XF5 AND XF6 AND SO ON AND SO ON XF INFINITI!

Last year's THE X-FILES was a terrific film. The 1998 blockbuster was moderately entertaining with its explosive adventure and massive landscapes, but last summer's I WANT TO BELIEVE was a far more cerebral, thought provoking tale more in keeping with the dark, early tone of this classic series.

Many are looking forward to more X-FILES motion pictures from this creative team. Speaking with the 20th Century Fox's managing director at the Australian International Movie Convention last week, Fox is well aware of THE X-FILES property as a continued franchise. The series generated an estimated US$2.5 billion in revenue for FOx during the course of its run, eclipsing cult favourites THE SIMPSONS and SEINFELD, and remains their Top 5 selling TV-DVD titles since 2000 (as the first series ever released on DVD). Rest assured, providing the creative participants are willing, more X-FILES stories will come to theaters in the years ahead.

Considering I gave to keep Paste Magazine afloat. I would appreciate a good and CORRECT article. Check your facts next time please. Else, I want my money back.

x files is one of the best shows ever made,and it dealt with so many inexplicable questions and it needs closure which can be given in the 3rd x files movie!
and the rebooting thing- as if anything could ever surpass the complexity of the mythology presented to us in the series...

Yay for a third movie! I'm still a believer. :)

Yes, there needs to be a third x-files movie dealing with the mythology and William.
Give the x-philes another movie. We are a faithful and patient group.
X-Files 3 in 2012. Bring it on!!
