X FILES 3, STRAIGHT TO DVD?

1870 Signatures - Sign the XF3 Petition

Rumors are circulating that an X Files 3 might well be on the cards, but it would be straight to DVD.

My whole intention with this blog is to see the X Files back on the big screen, regardless of budget size, and not straight to DVD. I think Mulder and Scully have a lot of potential on the big screen.

So I am happy to see that Frank Spotnitz, the producer of 'I Want To Believe' debunking this rumor on his blog.

NUMBERS AND FREEBIES

1590 Signatures - Sign the XF3 Petition!!!

I see I Want To Believe is up to $51´000´000 on a $30´000´000 budget. Not bad. Imagine the potential with proper marketing and a better release date.

Otherwise, I was tipped off to this the other day. It´s pretty scandelous if you ask me.

Whats more, whats person would rather watch a movie this way, than on DVD or in the cinema?

Its a crazy crazy world.

IRISH INTERVIEWS

1347 Signatures - Sign the XF3 Petition!!!

I can't believe people didn't like the Simpsons, X Files crossover idea. Don't you even think it would work as a stand alone affair? I think it would be great.

Anyway, here's a couple of very good interviews with the X Files crew from a new movie website in my hometown of Dublin, Ireland.

Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz

NUMBERS

688 Signatures - Sign the X Files 3 Petition!!!

Just looking over the numbers, thats is the box office for ´I Want To Believe´, and it seems the film has broken even on its second weekend on release. That´s including US and international box office.

The film was made for $30 million, and has just hit that mark according to this website.

So I would presume it will turn over a tidy little profit in the end when DVD sales come into the equation.

If you consider with a glass-is-half-full perspective, that doesn´t seem too bad at all.

Another thing which I find interesting is how an awful lot of people still don´t even know about the film. I mentioned the film to a few people here in Germany who claim to be fans of the series and they didn´t even seem to know about the films existance.

Strange.
