The X-Files creator Chris Carter told SFX magazine that he's still trying to get a second movie based on his classic TV series off the ground. "We are in negotiations right now," Carter told the magazine. "And because it's a sequel, there are peculiar and specific kinds of negotiations that are holding us up. I think that there's an appetite for it, but I think that it's got to be good. People won't just go and see anything. Whatever happens, I'm going to do something good that people will want to go and see regardless."

As for the sequel film's storyline, Carter said, "Not a mythology one, for sure!"
