Normally I don’t post articles that I consider to be just rumor, but I thought this was too interesting to pass up.

In the last week or so, photos have been taken of X-Files creator Chris Carter hanging out with David Duchovny in various public places. The first was at a Dodgers game from July 10th, where Duchovny threw the first pitch of the day. The second is of Duchovny and Carter at the beach about a week or so later. Could this mean that they are meeting to discuss the third X-Files film… kind of? Hit the jump for more and to take a peek at the photos!

A fan named “Dr. Jen” wrote to X-Files producer Frank Spotnitz on Big Light the other day about the matter:

There is a photo on facebook of Chris Carter and David Duchovny at the Dodgers Game Saturday.

The person who took the photo asked about XF3. His answer was a nod yes and knocked on his head (knock on wood?).

So, what do you think?

Half my friends think you will not answer at all and the other half say if you do, you’ll use that famous obfuscate and misdirect thing you and CC do so well. “Bob and weave as if his life depended on it,” I believe was the quote.

Spotnitz’s response was simply, “Insert the appropriate obfuscation and misdirection. (And don’t give up!)” For those of you who don’t know or remember, “Don’t give up” is a line the character “Father Joe” says to Scully in The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Spotnitz often says this to fans who are looking for the third X-Files movie to get the green light.

Obviously, Carter and Duchovny are also friends and these photos could just be of them hanging out for fun. But the fact that they hung out two times within a week and a half or so might be saying something, as well as the fact that Carter sort of hinted that things may be moving forward with the third film in the franchise.

Again, nothing is officially confirmed. The X-Files 3 has NOT yet been given the green light to go into production. But it could mean that it just might very well happen soon. I suppose we won’t know until they officially confirm it.
