It was nearly a year ago that we had writer/director/producer Frank Spotnitz on our show and even then we discussed the possiblity of a sequel to the first and only X-Files film that was based on the famous Fox television series of the same name.

We have also written stories over the last two years with comments from both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson about another film with the two of them portraying their legendary characters of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Both have indicated an openess to returning to the roles that made them household names.

The problem with all these reports from us and other news agencies is a lack of confirmation one way or the other. In fact, even when Frank was on our show back in May 2006, he was unable to confirm anything for sure because he hadn't been contacted by anyone from the studio system about doing another movie.

Now we are happy to report that Frank has confirmed things are starting to move in the direction of another film for the X-Files. On his blog he has stated that a script for the movie is underway.

"…the second "X-Files" feature is finally in the works. A script is indeed in development, but I'm afraid that's all I can say."

That may not be much in the way of X-Files news, but it is the first positive piece of information to come down the pike since "X-Files: The Movie" came out nearly 10 years ago.

Duchovny has just completed two film projects, "Things We Lost In The Fire" and "The Secret," with a new television series in pre-production. Anderson can now be seen in the Academy Award winning film "The Last King of Scotland" and is preparing to star in the new movie "No One Gets Off in This Town," which is in pre-production. So, with their current commitments, production for the next X-Files flick will need to be scheduled around those.

In some other Spotnitz news — a "Night Stalker" revival is in the works with the show to return in reruns on the SCI FI Channel this summer.

Spotnitz and Touchstone are working together on a new project that, for now, is being kept under wraps.

Wouldnt it be cool if he is bringing back MillenniuM?

Yes, it would.

Check his official site, there's a lot of interesting stuff there. (I'm not sure if someone's posted this link somewhere here already.) Little about Millennium, though, but let's hope for the best.

In some other Spotnitz news — a “Night Stalker” revival is in the works with the show to return in reruns on the SCI FI Channel this summer.

This bit is rather ambiguous. What are they trying to say? They're not suggesting that new Night Stalker episodes are going to be commissioned are they? Surely they just mean that reruns of the 10 produced episodes are going to run on the Sci Fi Channel.

What's the date on this article?

The "new project under wraps" would be "Murder Incorporated". It's being developed by Spotnitz for Touchstone TV and I'm really not excited by this one. I don't know much more than the little information given in this article: Three Murder Mysteries in the Works...

"Murder Incorporated," from "X-Files" alum Spotnitz, revolves around a man who discovers that he's from a wealthy family -- but that the money comes from an unsavory business. Touchstone TV is aboard to produce.
