David Duchovny wants to make another X Files movie, loves Twilight

I used to be an X Files fan back when it aired on TV. I’ve seen a lot of episodes, but I lost interest during those complicated multi-episode arcs. (The one that stands out as confusing was that extraterrestrial plot with the “black oil” eye thing. Maybe if Wikipedia was around back then I would have been able to make sense of it.) The two X-Files movies were lousy when compared to the series, although the first one was much better than the last, which came out too late and seemed to phone it in. Star David Duchovny recently said that he’s game for another X-Files movie, but the likelihood that will happen is probably nil. The last one, 2008’s I Want To Believe seriously underperformed at the box office. Duchovny said so many nice things about the show and his experiences on it that you can tell he’d love to do another one. He also kissed up to Woody Allen and seemed to put in a bid for a role in the Twilight movies:

DAVID Duchovny wants to make another X-Files movie.

The Hollywood actor says he’s keen to reprise his role as Agent Fox Mulder for a third flick in the franchise.

“I’m always game. It always rides on Fox. [Chris Carter] is game. I know [Gillian Anderson] is game. We all, at this point, love the show. We all, at this point, would love to work with one another again. We’re all good friends and miss one another, and miss working together.

“We worked together so hard for so long, so closely. We had some ups and downs personally, sure. But in the end, they are really like family to me. We’re all like this little X-Files family and I, for one, would love to continue. And I think there’s a lot left in the show. You know? And I think we can continue to make good movies.

“It’s just a matter of spending enough on a movie that can compete in the summertime. We made a movie and released it in the summer, but it wasn’t really a blockbuster movie. And it got kind of overshadowed by the bigger ones. So, we’re saying, make us big. We’ll fight with the big boys.”

David, 50, recently admitted he would “go gay” for the stars of Twilight.

“If I were gay, you know. I think Woody Allen is one of a long list of men I might go gay for,” said the star, who has two children with wife Tea Leoni.

“Garry Shandling is someone I’ve publicly gone gay for, for jokes. Oh and anyone in the Twilight movies. I don’t know any of their names, but all of them. The wolves, the vampires? They’re all fantastic.”

Duchovny is doing pretty well with Californication on Showtime, but he’s clearly pitching for some movie roles. The guy already looks so much like a vampire, (although he’s since improved) but I think he should be shooting for True Blood, not Twilight. On True Blood he really could go gay for just about any of the supes.

Season 4 of Californication premiered on Showtime last night.
