X'd Out

iF Magazine caught up with "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" co-writer/producer Frank Spotnitz over the weekend about the movie and future plans for both the DVD and franchise.

A longer version of the film on DVD?

"Yes, the unrated version is, not surprisingly, more graphic than the theatrical version. We're not talking about tons of gore, but I have to say it is more upsetting than the PG-13 version" he tells them.

Spotnitz confirmed that there were a few deleted scenes, but "nothing we missed or felt would make the movie better."

Given the film's disappointing box office is"The X-Files" over?

"I've always said I thought The X-Files could go on forever, provided there was an audience that wanted to see those stories. We'll see."

What else could Spotnitz say about the future really except "We'll see"...

Co-star Gillian Anderson thinks the sequel would been better received were it not for The Dark Knight...That may be partially true...But TDK's absence doesn't mean XF-2 would suddenly be a better film.
