I Still Would Like To Believe. Probably.

.
Via Movieweb comes some info on the possibility of a third and final X-Files movie in an interview with producer Frank Spotnitz:

"... there's life in the franchise still. I think these are great characters... I think after the DVD comes out, the studio will decide whether they want to roll the dice on another X-Files feature."

So what would it be about?

"There's a date that looms very important in X-Files mythology, which is December 2012. I mean, if we were to make one more feature, I think we would definitely have to deal with alien colonization. I honestly think that's the movie that most non-hardcore X-Files fans, as well as a lot of hardcore X-Files fans are dying to see. Obviously, I think Chris has had ideas about that from the very beginning when he dreamt up this show, sixteen years ago."

Thus would that film be the final one?

"I would think so. It certainly would be designed to be the period on the sentence."

As long as it isn't as slapped together and pointless as I Want To Believe, of course there's still something interesting at the core of X-Files. And yes, I am told there's a very important story to tell regarding 2012. And it (probably) doesn't even involve windsurfing monks!
