‘X-Files’ Movie Sequel Name Game Over
There’s a Title Out There!
…at last.
As fans of The X-Files know, there’s been a lot of speculation regarding the lack of a title for the highly anticipated film sequel hitting theaters this summer on July 25. Movie website IESB.net reported yesterday, however, that the standoff between series creator Chris Carter and production studio 20th Century Fox has finally ended. Yes, the forthcoming flick has a title now, and it isn’t the incredibly tacky The X-Files: Done One.
According to IESB.net, the top two title picks were Carter’s X-Files: Full Moon Rising and studio executives’ X-Files: Curse of the Werepeople, both reflecting the werewolf theme of the picture. Thank goodness Carter has won the battle.
So, there you have it. If this development is correct, the second X-Files movie is entitled X-Files: Full Moon Rising. Sounds like a winner, although I plan to see the movie no matter what they call it. Even a tacky title can’t keep me away from more Mulder and Scully.
