There is nobody who can create anything close that chemistry they used to have. Just leave it alone.

If there’s one thing that can be guaranteed of a Disney led x-files reboot, it’s that whatever happens, Disney will manage to make a flop and massive financial loss

Instead of a reboot, just make it a continuation. Mulder and Scully(and the rest of the old cast) are retired and a new duo(or group?) gets put in charge of the X-Files. The old cast can make cameo appearances from time to time, but the focus will be on the new ones. Maybe bring in a few of the original "monster of the week" cases where the new team consults M&S on how they handled it. The "pass the baton" approach would be better than trying to recast the characters themselves.

That's what a reboot is... it is a continuation of the original series. For example, George Lucas intended for Star Wars to only be 6 books and 6 movies. Disney bought it and rebooted it, giving us more movies.

It was a good show despite JJs involvement. The constant internal rebooting was annoying but overall it was an enjoyable show. X Files getting a reboot just smacks of Disney desperation and creative bankruptcy.

Make Mulder the new director. Problem solved.

@lepayen 2 ай бұрын

That wouldn't make sense. Mulder is always rubbing against the grain, pissing off his employers. That's why they brought in Skully in the first place, because they wanted to get rid of Mulder. Skully was supposed to find something worth firing him. There's no way the people higher up than Skinner would ever let him be the director.

as long as the main characters have as much chemistry as the original Mulder and Scully, i think it'll do fine. still wont touch the original but would be worth watching. the casting is deff what will make and break the show.

@rexbitten 2 ай бұрын

I thought bringing in the characters played by Lauren Ambrose and Robbie Amell as the new agents at the FBI and Mulder and Scully being on the outside as assets ( like Deep Throat and X) could have worked but not for very long i suppose. I'm not sure a reboot is warranted.

@lepayen 2 ай бұрын

Nah, if they brought in the other 2 to replace Mulder and Skully, then there would be no need for Mulder and Skully as assets, if anything, they would be a liability to the new agents.

Trying to do X-Files with different actors would be as insane as trying to do Quantum Leap, Too Close For Comfort, MacGyver, Charmed, Doogie Howser, Night Court, Magnum PI or countless others without their original casts. And nobody would do that. Constantly.

30 year fan here: the only thing realistic to do would be to recast. Recasting will not work however because even a Terminator could not save the show during the brief recasting they tried to do before. It's why Mulder and Scully came back to finish the last few seasons. After witnessing Disney's RECENT efforts at shows and movies; I have ZERO faith that Disney could do it right. Disney needs hire creative people to create properties and stop being lazy.

@adrianvanleeuwen 2 ай бұрын

Recast is fine, or simply find new name agents looking at paranormal cases. Quantum Leap reboot had new characters while mentioning the old and went 2 seasons. Hawaii 5-0 went 10 seasons in reboot. Magnum PI reboot is 5 or 6 seasons. They need to find really good actors and great writing to make it work with interpersonal character building like the old show. If the writing is not good, it will fail.

“I just spoke to a young man… Ryan Coogler… who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast. So he’s got his work cut out for him, because we covered so much territory." X Files reboot with diverse cast, made by Disney, no info on the actual story. That's all I need to know.
