Chris Carter reveals that Disney is working on a new 'X-Files' reboot
Unexplained Mysteries ^ | December 24, 2023 | T.K. Randall

When The X-Files debuted back in 1993, nobody has ever seen anything quite like it.

Following FBI agents Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson), the show quickly became something of a pop culture sensation - popularizing the idea of government conspiracies and leading whole generations of people to declare "I want to believe".

The original show ran until 2002 and spawned two feature films before returning for a brief (though much less successful) two-season stint from 2016-2018.

Now, according to the show's original creator Chris Carter, Disney is working on a new X-Files reboot helmed by Ryan Coogler, director of movies like Creed and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

"I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast," Carter told CBC podcast On the Coast with Gloria Macarenko.

"So, he's got his work cut out for him because we covered so much territory."

As things stand, we don't know much else about the show or even if David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be appearing in it at all.

From the sounds of it, the reboot will likely feature a whole new cast, perhaps with Mulder and Scully making a cameo appearance to help pass the torch to their successors.

If Disney has its way, the Fox Mulder character will be a "transitioning woman" trying to get in touch with his feminine side and the Dana Scully character will be an angry woman in a crew cut who utterly dominates the now sissified Mulder.

The original TV show does bring back memories of a more innocent time. Back when I actually had respect for the FBI as a law enforcement organization and back when I thought the FBI was on the side of American citizens.

Don’t forget War of the Worlds (1988-1990)

I cannot forget what I didn't know of in the first place. I'll take your word for it though.

That’s the reason for most remakes. Like the remake of Perry Mason, making Della Street a lesbian.

David Duchovny appeared in Twin Peaks TV series as a cross dressing shemale.

No doubt the X-Files reboot will star a black handicapped lesbian Muslim who drinks Bud Light. It will be must-watch viewing in the Obama household.

“popularizing the idea of government conspiracies and leading whole generations of people to declare “I want to believe”.

Clearly this person was not alive in the sixties and seventies when stories positing govt conspiracy were a dime a dozen.

“Both “Kolchak” and “The Twilight Zone” would be pre-cursors.“

If those shows had had the digital effects capability and relative budget of X Files, X Files would have seemed a direct ripoff.

Gotta keep the “new seven dwarfs” employed somehow, someway. Watch for it. With the “not-so-new” Disney anymore, anything is possible.

They will do to Mulder what they did to the original Jake from State Farm, Heimdahlr, Ariel, etc...

Disney is locked into the Panderverse and apparently likes it there.

The flaming faggot in the Quantum Leap reboot ended that for me. And I loved the original show as a kid.

Disney will make Scully the lead character and Mulder the sidekick.

I bet they will replace the Cigarette Smoking Man with a vaping woman.

They should bring back Project U.F.O. which is what X-Files was a copy of. It followed two Air Force Officers investing unidentified flying objects and aliens as part of Project Blue Book case files. The show employed actual Project Blue Book investigators as technical experts. They even ran a disclaimer at the end of every episode to say that the US Air Force had investigated all UFO claims and found that they did not pose a threat to national security.

More recycling which will be awful, instead of an original idea.
