I don’t really know why Chris Carter and FOX have yet to announce the title of their belated sequel to “The X-Files”. Seriously, what is the hold up? In any case, Chris Carter once again reaffirmed some already known details about the upcoming movie, mainly that it will not involve the show’s extensive alien mythology, and will in fact be a standalone movie that focuses on Mulder and Scully’s relationship and, oh yeah, Scully’s freaky son William will be mentioned, though he probably won’t show up.

I don’t really consider this a SPOILER, since the last time we saw Mulder and Scully on the small screen, they were cuddling up on a motel bed. I mean, seriously, guys, where else could they go after that? Kissing in the upcoming “X-Files 2″ movie? Yup, you bet. Here are some pictures from the set of the two stars filming a scene, where it looks like Mulder is saying goodbye to Scully, gives her a hug, and then plants a bit wet one. Check it out below.

The Los Angeles Times recently had a reporter at WonderCon last week to cover the “X-Files 2″ panel, and the result was this article, titled: “Fan-ana Republic: The resurrection of ‘X-Files’ mania”. Now I don’t know if “‘X-Files’ mania” is back or not, but I do know that a lot of people who were fans of the show and sort of gave up on it after a while (such as myself) are, in fact, quite excited about the sequel. To be honest with you, I didn’t thin I would be, but as it turns out — yeah, I do miss Scully and Mulder.

Late last month, some pictures from the set of “The X-Files 2″ surfaced online that would have us believed the sequel would tackle werewolves (here). Not long after, the concept of werewolves in “X-Files 2″ seemed to have been shot down by the filmmakers themselves. But were they lying? Check out the image below and judge for yourself.

It was recently revealed by writer/director Chris Carter that the upcoming “X-Files” movie sequel will be a standalone story, and will not delve into the alien mythology that has been so much a part of the show’s run. So what could the central storyline be in “X-Files 2″ if it’s not aliens? Um, maybe the wolfman?

Hey look, kids, it’s Mulder and Scully — from “X-Files 2″! Yes, that’s right, the FBI paranormal busting duo are back together again in the upcoming “X-Files” sequel, and USA Today has new pictures of David Duchovney and Gillian Anderson together again. Plus, writer/director Chris Carter talks about dumping the alien mythology and going for a standalone movie.

In case you haven’t heard, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be returning as Mulder and Scully, respectively, on a big screen near you sometime in 2008 in “The X-Files 2″, the sequel to the 1998 “X-Files” movie. Joining them will be the series creator Chris Carter, who will be writing and directing. Now here’s your first look at Duchovny in Mulder garb, joined by new co-star Amanda Peet, who is playing an FBI agent.
