DVD Empire recently got the chance to ask "X-Files" creator Chris Carter about the impending release of "The Lone Gunmen" on DVD, if he had any regrets about the way "The X-Files" or "Millennium ended", and got the latest scoop on The X-Files 2 movie:
Question: What is the current status of a possible X-Files 2 feature film?
Chris Carter: It's currently in negotiations, and things are looking positive.
Question: There have been rumors on the Net about how far along things are - whether there's a script, whether there's not a script...can you clarify that?
Chris Carter: There's not a script, but Frank Spotnitz and I have worked out a story. Actually, we did that quite a while ago.
Question: What can you tell us about A Philosophical Investigation? I've read that it's something you and Frank Spotnitz are working on.
Chris Carter: It was a book that Paramount came to me with, and I liked certain things in it - mostly the main character. And I took it to Frank, and he read it and responded to the same things. We took our ideas to Paramount and they liked them enough that we went forward...and we hope to finish that script soon.
Question: Is that a film that may happen before you get around to the next X-Files movie?
Chris Carter: We'll finish that script before we finish the new X-Files script. Whether it makes it to the screen...that's ultimately someone else's decision.
