EXCLUSIVE: Frank Spotnitz Talks X-Files 2!

During a recent interview with Frank Spotnitz for the upcoming release of the Night Stalker: The Complete Series, the revered writer of such shows as X-Files and Millennium talked about the possibility of there being another X-Files movie as well as his remake of The Star Chamber.

Are there any plans for another X-Files movie? Is that something you have any interest in?

Frank Spotnitz: Yeah, I actually have a deal, believe it or not, to co-write and co-produce with Chris Carter. And David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have deals; I think even Chris Carter has a deal. There's some legal issues pending between Chris and 20th Century Fox relating to the old TV show. So I'm hoping that those will get resolved and that we can still do it because we'd love to.

Can you talk at all about The Star Chamber? Do you think a movie like that is even more relevant today?

Frank Spotnitz: I do, totally. It's funny because we began this process of remaking it some years ago. It was still fairly early in the Bush Administration. Now, you know, I think the issues we see everyday with the Bush Administration... about how far can the law go to capture bad guys? It feels very relevant. I think it's a great remake because it's a great idea that was never, in fact, fully realized. I think there's a lot of great things about the first version of the movie that was done in '83, but there's also things that should have been done that weren't done so it's one of those remakes where you have a chance to actually do it better, I think, the second time around.

Check back as we are going to have the full interview with Frank Spotnitz up shortly!

The Night Stalker: The Complete Series creeps on to DVD shelves May 30th, 2006.

"X-Files 2" 2007--Gillian Anderson Bullied Again
by Nazi Hollywood

xfiles2 a no go, aug, 2007

No, Means No: anderson knew that she would have to make some kind of statement to old hollywood's public threat to make this x files 2 with her involvement. it was, is obvious anderson is wise in this ...see closely her chosen words in her initial statement: her statements have been in two parts. 1. first was to ensure her fans that she does care for them. 2. then her recent follow up public statements screamed to old hollywood, don't even think about f**king with me. (see her bringing up her documented, untold story, which scares the hell out of old hollywood). their response to the latter will no doubt be ... the doctored sex photos that are posted with their affiliate's gossip sites, from time to time when negotiating|threatening her ...not much of a threat, however ...most stars today wished they could be portrayed with such a sexually enticing flare ...i mean. it's not like her image was ever mother teresa or anything ...and, all the sex photos, and videos of all the famous that have been published certainly hasn't ruined, or hurt their image or career ...it promoted it. ...after all, it's anderson, even if she had the seed of life on her face it would somehow come across as nothing more than appropriately nasty.

oh, have you seen (don't be mislead by the date on the article):
http://www.fatbackandcollards.com/2006/07/04/gillian-anderson-doesnt-want-to-believe-in-the-x-files-2/

A Lot Of Questions: ...do you think the above site will make her believe in x-files 2? ...i think not probably. also, why are there no other famous exposed like she is on the above site? ...did she give her permission for the photos displayed? ...how did they get the photos? ...why can't anderson fight back? the above site is a subsidiary, who do you think owns or controls that site? ...why haven't duchovny, carter, spotnitz, who are in the article attached to the photos, not protested-why did they not protest anderson's abuse in 2002? ...is anderson being blackmailed? good news! anderson is tough and the US is not nearly as sexually deprived, stunted, paranoid as it used to be ...thanks paris hilton and all those other famous actors - at least the repercussions have shown that the U.S. no longer cringes at the thought of sex. don't get me wrong, i am not condoning those types of actions; what one does in one's own sexual life is one's own business, but i can certainly accept that sex is okay ...one's own moral conviction's is on them. i guess old hollywood thinks that they can inject the 1950's social mind, when they had us all fooled, (the corp hollywood good OLD days) into the twenty-first century...hee ...hee.

Conclusion: what would you do if all abandoned you (see above) while Nazis stole your first motherhood-under contract-then did everything possible to destroy your reputation, and ability to work again in your said field ever, because you protested. what would you do if that same perpetrator publicly, freely raped your life, your child's life-while co-workers watched on--then came back 5 years later publicly stated and insisted that you cooperate in giving to them on bended knee? ...answer said perpetrator's phone calls as to the date of said forced public humiliation?

It is in these, that standards are set in bravery and self-integrity for society, be it convenient or inconvenient. It is from such documented events, as hers, that make it possible for society to find the truth and point the finger at such deviously plotting entities that would make a fortune at the expense
...the demise, of mother and child, ...and, whole populations.

You Can Bet: that if she ends up doing "x files 2" it's because she has something extreme over her, and she will most likely make that clear in the movie results ...flop ...flop. so, carter's aug 2007 excuse, "there is a hitch in the script", could be that when ordered to call anderson confirming the date for showing up on set, he gets ...ring, ring! ...ring, ring! ...ring, ring!

best wishes
thanks for having me
