David Duchovny told France’s TVMag that a script for a third X-Files movie “is in the process of being written.”:
“It is in the process of being written. One awaits just the green light from Fox, a little disappointed from the relatively poor reception of the second film.” (The film grossed $20.8 million.) “The error comes, in my opinion, that the authors strayed too far from the roots of the series. Moreover, the film was released in the summer. The third will be much closer to what the public expects, with government conspiracies, etc.”
