Twentieth Century Fox apparently is moving forward with yet another "The X-Files" movie to followup the 1998 blockbuster, "Fight the Future."

Trade paper Variety is reporting that the studio has begun negotiating with series creator Chris Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz to write and produce the second feature film.

Despite this latest development, no director has been attached to the proposed sequel and no cast has either. However, it's been widely reported that this will be a standalone movie for David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, both characters which have been or are being worked out of the current series run. Both actors have indicated in the past that they would be more than willing to return for yet another movie.

Carter and Spotnitz could be prepared to move forward with writing the film as early as winter 2002 with shooting to begin later in the year. A Christmas 2003 release is tentative.
