Mulder, Scully ready for 2nd 'X-Files' flick

Can you handle the truth? It's about to be out there again.
Plans haven't been announced, but they're under way for another
"X-Files" movie, which will reunite David Duchovny as Special Agent
Fox Mulder with Gillian Anderson as Special Agent Dana Scully.

"I'd like to shoot next winter," Duchovny told GLARE this week.

Of course, there has been quite a lag since the last "X-Files" film
in 1998. "We did the first movie while the show was still running.
It was madness. It was like a full 22 months in a row of just
shooting 'X-Files,'" Duchovny recalled. "It was crazy for all of us."

Afterward, there also was a little "X-Files" backlash. "When the
show ended, it was our time for people to turn on us and say,
'Oh, the show lost it,'" said an upfront Duchovny. "Now, it's
years later and time for people to remember how great the show was.
Now, I hear, 'We're sorry we ever said you lost it. Come back.
But is it still true you and Gillian don't get along?
We need to know.'"

Well?

"We get along fine," Duchovny insists. "We e-mail each other
all the time."

As for plot secrets of the new "X-Files" movie, he said, "It will
be like one of our stand-alone episodes instead of about topics
such as Mulder's sister or the whole alien conspiracy. It will be
more like we'll have a creature, a thing, a bad guy. But it won't
be your average run-of-the-mill bad guy. He will be paranormal,
weird and a megabad guy. And Mulder and Scully will be on it.

"I see the next movie as a thriller in the vein of 'Silence of the
Lambs,'" he says. "That will be different from the first movie,
which was more about the aliens."

He hopes to hook new fans, too. "Pardon the pun, but we don't
want to alienate people who don't know about the show. We want to
draw in people with this film who have never watched the show."

Speaking of which, guess who watches the show now on TNT? Yes,
it's Mulder himself. "When we were making the episodes, I'd say,
'Wow, some of them aren't so good.' But now it's on TNT. I'll
be flipping around. I'll see one and say to my wife Tea [Leoni],
'This is really good. And I don't even remember the story,
so I'm going to watch the whole thing.' I'll get involved
and -- honestly -- I don't remember what happens next.

"Mostly, I'll sit there thinking, 'Mulder and Scully are cool.
They have that elusive thing -- chemistry," says Duchovny.
He also found chemistry with his wife, who stars in his
directorial film debut "House of D," which opens April 29.
