For Those In Favor of an X Files 3 Movie

Target:
Very high
I'm starting this blog as a compassionate plea to the producers of the X Files, and the powers that be (most probably 20th Century Fox), to ignore the critisism and continue to make X Files movies.

Now, instantly this sounds very dorkish and geeky or me I admit, but I consider myself to be neither geek or a dork (but some may argue).

I am infact a 25 year old award winning film maker, blogger, and website creator.

Having heard the recent reviews of the 2nd X Files movie 'I Want To Believe', I was indeed wary of what to expect. As a big X Files fan in my youth, I was a touch disappointed by first movie 'Fight The Future' and desperatly saddened by the final three years of the series.

But the truth is the 2nd X Files movie 'I Want To Believe' proved to be quite the surprise. I found the film to be a classic X File - understated, classy and alot more besides.

The film cleverly avoided the mumbo jumbo of alien invasions and government conspiracy which has dragged down the latter series, to give a simple well acted story with characters we have come to love.

The film was tight and well paced from my point of view which gives little room for critisism. If I must, Mulder and Scully kissing and further delving into romantic realms has always irked me, but even that was handled well in the movie.

It's quite clear that peoples expectations of what an X Files movie can be are far off the mark. Added to which, this movie has been released at an appaling time alongside mega budget films such as The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. People expecting anything remotely similar are wide off the mark. It quite apparent that many critics don't have an understanding of the original series, and one should not expect an X Files movie to be anything more than an X Files movie.

People must remember what the X Files was when it began, and was for long after - two people wielding torches in darkened rooms and darkened corridors. It was a testament to the creators, writers, directors and producers that the show ever moved out of these demensions. But even when it did it did with so with subtlty.

I would happily see an X Files movie every 2 or 3 years. The films need not be big budget, the films need not have a huge audience, but I would guess there still is a market out there for it.

I hope I'm stating my case well here. Perhaps I'm not.

Bring on XF3!

If CC goes with the 2012 date, its definitely money! Even non-xphiles will want to see this movie because of the worldwide fascination with the apocalyse theories, Honestly, there can never be enough end-of-the-world, alien vs. human being movies. Think of the huge box office draws that Independence Day, War of the Worlds(though it sucked big time),and the Alien franchise gathered. The colonization storyline, paired with the right advertising and marketing, along with a suitable budget and its sure to be hit!

I'm Such a big fan of X-files and i think an other movie would be a great idea. No, It has to be another movie... because we need to know what happen for the 2012 .. In link with the last episode of the serie. Their is many unsolve questions i would like to see in this movie. The caracters are great, the story brilliant, i'd absolutely want to see another xfiles movie..

I believe that the second X-Files was well made and answered a lot of questions. I also am really hoping for a third X-Files movie that would deal with the invasion date, so please create a third X-Files.

I would love to see another X-Files movie dealing with the impending colonization. While I enjoyed I Want To Believe, I felt it was a story more appropriate for a standard episode, and not a full-length feature film. When the series ended, I felt that the series finale asked more questions than it answered, and I think that much more can be done to bring closure to Mulder and Scully's story. Please give the fans the film that they deserve!!!

To Whom It May Concern, Please, please, please bring on another X Files movie!There are still so many of us out there domestically and abroad that love the show, its characters, and everything the show has produced on both the small and big screens. Just one more and I'll be happy. The colonization theme is perfect and necessary for completion and full closure for the characters of Mulder and Scully as well as the devoted fans who watched the series grow and become one of the most successful and original television phenomenon of all time. I can go on forever about what makes the x files great, but the point is that there is still a large enough fan base that would appreciate to the ends of the earth if there was a third installment to the movie franchise. Thank you so much for your consideration! :-) Mariela

I think Chris Carter owes it to all the x-files fans out there to make a third movie. IWTB left way to many questions out there. What happened to the baby? What is the status of Scully and Mulders reltioship? What the hell was the point of all the transplants? I would love to see a third movie. But only if it picks up where FTF left off. I dont think I could stand a repeat of IWTB. Dont let us down Mr. Carter!

I have loved the X Files for 10 years. I started watching it everyday after school when I was little and I still love it. Mulder and Scully have impacted my life so much. Now I want to be and FBI agent because of them. Nowadays peoples idols are Hannah Montanna instead of intelectual people. If this movie is not made it will upset me very much because my grandfather loves the show and we both loved the movie. I am sick of movies like Twilight being made and making billions. It is time for another movie that makes you think. X Files 3 must be made.
