X-Files 2?

The Huffington Post extracts this tidbit from an interview that former X-FILES star David Duchovny gave while promoting his current television series CALIFORNICATION:

David sat down with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, and he revealed that not only is there a script for the “X-Files” sequel – he’s actually read it!
“I have,” said David, when Billy asked if he’d read it. “But I’m sworn to secrecy legally, actually. If I were to tell you anything about it I would — I would be sued.”

Okay, so a script exists. But that begs the true question: does anybody still care? I mean, X-FILES was, like, so ’90s, you know? The show started off great, then wore out its welcome with the convoluted conspiracy plot, and the feature film version definitely suffered for the sins of its father. Is there any reason to think there’s enough life left in the franchise to justify a feature-length sequel?
