Mulder and Scully Are Back

Twentieth Century Fox

The New York Times reports that the film’s plot has been shrouded in secrecy by writer/producer/director Chris Carter.

According to the publication, all that’s known is that the two agents will be dealing with a “difficult case” in which Scully will seek the assistance of a disillusioned and ostracized Mulder.

The request will lead to a “stand-alone frightfest that involves a missing agent, a psychic, a manhunt and probably a few monsters lurking in the night.”

In the NY Times interview, Anderson says the film will also revolve around Scully and Mulder.

In the hit series The X-Files (1993-2002), which catapulted Anderson and Duchovny to stardom, Scully began as an agent who was profoundly skeptical of the paranormal, while Mulder was a firm believer in aliens and government conspiracies.
