Gillian Anderson made an appearance at the Sarajevo Film Festival where she spoke briefly about the X-Files and whether there is any potential of a third feature film:
They talked about maybe doing it in 2012, I think there were discussions about that. I don’t know whether that’s going to happen or not, but there isn’t any reason not to do it. It was fun, it was hard work. I feel a certain commitment to that group of people that I worked with and we still enjoy doing it, when we do it. There is no reason why not to come together and do it again. If they can pull it off, we’ll find some reason to make it.

It’s true and it breaks me heart. Lionsgate is developing a remake of the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing from a new script by the writer of the film Uptown Girl (that film was alright).
The original, released in theaters by Vestron, staring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. It was made for $6 million but went on to earn $213.95 million worldwide.
A follow-up, titled Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was distributed by Lionsgate in 2004. Produced for $25 million, the movie earned just $27.7 million worldwide.
That should say something right there, KEEP AWAY LIONGATE!!!!
