To some fans, the second “The X-Files” movie was almost a decade too late and failed to deliver the gripping adventure they were hoping for. Star David Duchovny however believes that the film is a causality of timing and it would have had a better chance of success had it not been released in the summer. "It's not a special-effects movie," he told SciFi Wire. "It kind of was coming out in a time when you expected it to be -- in the summer. To me, it was more a fall movie." Although there is nothing festive about the plot of the film, it does feature some very artistic visuals as a cerebral hunt-the-killer-thriller that would perhaps have been more accepted at this time of year ... and it looked stunning. "It's a beautiful-looking movie; the location, the glow of the snow and the eeriness of that part of it, I think that looks great on the big screen,” he said. “Everything looks better on the big screen, but I think that, yeah, it's less of a popcorn movie than it is a fall movie, for lack of a better term." The actor, who admits never got a chance to see the movie while it was in theatres, has also expressed an interest in returning to Fox Mulder one day to continue his quest for the truth ... even if he’s collecting his pension when he does it. “I guess Indiana Jones gets aged, but it remains the same movie even though he's aging,” he explained. “Bond doesn't age, and I find that a little less interesting, at least for me. I'm not just saying this because I would like to keep doing it, but I always talk to [‘X-Files’ creator] Chris [Carter] about how fascinating today it would be to take this guy from his early 30s and let's take him into his mid-50s, late 50s. Maybe nobody wants to see 60-year-old Fox Mulder, but we can grow him. We can take him through life's hardships and changes. It doesn't have to be this cartoon where nothing changes. You can actually form the flow of this movie and the expanse of this show to embrace actual passage of time and what that does to a person and relationships. To me, that's interesting as an actor and as a person. As an intellectually based character, you don't give a damn what he looks like.” To read the rest of the SciFi Wire interview, please click here. Express yourself and be part of the news!
