Before X-Files: I Want to Believe was even done filming the talk of a third film was everywhere, especially in the fan community. Producers Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz along with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson all said they were open to more films. In the weeks leading up to the release of the second film, Carter and Spotnitz were quoted saying that a third film would depend on the success of “I Want to Believe”. Unfortunately it performed horribly at the box office and all hope of a film franchise seemed to be lost. Thankfully that all changed this week, first a Fox executive said the future of the X-Files was in the hands of Carter, Spotnitz, Duchovny, and Anderson and then Frank Spotnitz shared his surprise in Fox’s willingness to make another film. It now seems there is hope for more X-Files especially if its a big success on DVD and Blu-ray. If you are a fan, make sure to support the cause by buying the DVD.
