TV Guide let Chris Carter spill "some of the beans" in this little tidbit below.  This will answer, for most fans out there, what time the movie is set in, and whether or not Mulder and Scully are really back in the FBI.  You can read the article below: 

 

From the 1/21 - 1/27 TV Guide Issue, Sci-Fi Preview for the year: 

Apparently, the truth is still out there. Which would explain why The X-Files will be back out there this summer, when the second movie version of the series hits theaters. Plot details are more closely guarded than an alien autopsy, but creator Chris Carter does have a few clues to offer eager X-Files fans who have been waiting for more since the Fox show ended in 2002. FBI Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) will still be at the center of the story, and Studio 60's Amanda Peet and rapper Xzibit have been added to the cast as fellow agents. "This is really a continuation of the series, imagining how the characters' lives have evolved," explains Carter, who cowrote and is directing the movie. "It's a stand-alone story that owes everything to the series, but not the mythology of the series. What we'll be dealing with is government-based as far as the conspiracy goes, but expect this not to be a revisitation [of the show's convoluted conspiracy.]" That would be alienating. -- Craig Tomashoff
