Disappointing X-Files Movie News

[Moozik: The Mission - Garden Of Delight]

I was a huge X-Files fan, I have all the episodes at home, loved the movie, bought the books. The whole bit.

What I, and I suspect most fans, loved most of all was the mythology story arc. The alien colonization, the smoking man, the black oil, Krycek. The other episodes, while still good in their own right, were close to being filler episodes while we waited for the next mythology episode.

So I must admit that I was just a tad disappointed to read today's tiny plot detail spillage.

"X-Files" creator Chris Carter, writer Frank Spotnitz and other crew members gathered Wednesday to discuss the TV series — and declassify some information about the upcoming film.

"While this is not a mythology movie, it's true to everything that's come before," Spotnitz said at the William S. Paley Television Festival. "It's true to Mulder and Scully, who they are and where they would be this point in their lives and all of the experiences that they've had."

Carter, who also directs the new movie, said it takes place in the present and uses a story envisioned when the series ended. While the show's sprawling alien mythology isn't part of the plot, Carter said there is a reference to Scully's seemingly supernatural son, William, who was born in season eight and later given up for adoption.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still go see it, but they left so many pieces of the overall plot dangling when the series ended that I was really hoping they would at least try to wrap it up in future movies.
