'X-Files 3' news + 'Goats'

In an age when Natalie Portman turns down a role alongside Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, or the lead in 'Gravity' - a film in the works by by Alfonso Cuaron, starring Robert Downey Jr. - yet commits to 'No Strings Attached', 'Thor', & 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium' - we have cool Gen X'ers like David Duchovny, and Gillian Anderson... who, thankfully, have very clear intentions... & are not so... confused.

These are David Duchovny's thoughts on making another an 'X-Files' film: "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.” 1

David Duchovny has also just joined the coming-of-age indie drama 'Goats' - alongside Vera Farmiga, Will Arnett.

"The coming of age story follows 15 year-old, Ellis (Phillips) as he moves from Wendy, his flakey, new age mother's (Farmiga) South-Western home to an East Coast prep school where his estranged father Frank (Burrell) was once a star student. For Ellis, this means leaving behind the only real dad he has ever known, Goat Man (Duchovny), his pot-smoking, goat herding mentor, and ultimately needing to evaluate his new prep school lifestyle that's in stark contrast to his stoner upbringing. Rounding out the cast are Keri Russell as Frank's new wife, Minnie Driver as Wendy’s best friend and yogic advisor Johanna, and Will Arnett as Wendy’s boyfriend Bennett."2
