Gillian Anderson And David Duchovny Rooting For New X-Files Movie, Call On Fans To Petition 20th Century Fox

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny came together for "The Truth Is Here: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson on 'The X-Files”, convened at The Paley Centre for Media, on October 12, 2013.

The event was convened to celebrate the 20th anniversary of X-Files, the show that premiered in September, 1993 and completed nine seasons before branching out into X-Files movie franchise.

Mulder and Scully are household names across America, more so in homes that tuned into the X-Files show every Friday night, religiously from 1993 to 2002.

Speaking on the occasion, Anderson and Duchovny dropped broad hints about the third X-Files movie, saying that both of them are ready for it, along with the creator Chris Carter.

It is up to the producers 20th Century Fox who should decide to make it.
"All the principals are on board. Gillian and I want to do it, so it's really up to Twentieth Century Fox at this point," said Duchovny, 53, who played the ‘spooky’ agent Fox Mulder on X-Files.

Gillian Anderson, the beautiful agent Dana Scully, hinted that the fans must root for the movie and convince 20th Century Fox.

"If it takes fan encouragement to get Fox interested in that then I guess that's what it would be," said Anderson, now 45 and sporting long blonde hair.

The duo shared an easy camaraderie at the event, answering audience questions and engaging in slight banter, much to the delight of the people present there. They expressed amazement at the sheer success of the show, saying that when they had first signed up for it, they did not expect it to run for so long.

The first movie X-Files: Fight the Future came out in 1998 followed by its sequel X- Files: I want to Believe, which was released 10 years later in 2008.

The second movie came six years after the show went off air and did not do well at the box office, leaving the fans and producers not so happy.
