WGA negotiations have unraveled over the DVD issue -- seriously ratcheting up the chances of a strike...
A "DVD issue"! You guys are gonna let a disc concern be the reason for the walkout...I don't mean to make light of the situation. But come on--surely if that's the sticking point--you ought to be able to come to terms before it's too late...
Meantime, a long awaited sequel is ready to roll and soon...
Pamela McClintock and Tatiana Siegel of Variety:
The long-awaited second "X-Files" film is finally a go, with 20th Century Fox setting a July 25, 2008 release date.
Untitled project reunites "X-Files" creator Chris Carter will thesps David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who will reprise their signature roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Carter begins lensing in December in Vancouver from a script he co-wrote with Frank Spotnitz, a veteran scribe of the long-running "X-Files" television series, which became a worldwide hit during its 1993-2002 run on the Fox network. Spotnitz also co-wrote with Carter the screenplay for 1998 feature "X-Files." Carter and Spotnitz will also serve as producers.
Studio is keeping the film's logline under wraps, but stressed the pic is a stand-alone story and supernatural thriller that takes the complicated relationship between Mulder and Scully in new directions...
Plan to bring the "X-Files" sequel to the big screen was waylaid when Chris Carter brought a 2005 lawsuit against Fox over how the "X-Files" syndication profits were divvied up. Suit was later settled.
Earlier this year, the issue seemed to have been resolved, with Duchovny and Anderson both indicating that the film was finally moving forward...
This is great news! The time is right for the X-F to make a comeback. I just hope that both rat-boy and the CSM are along for the ride as well.
