I’d love to see a third movie but I think the reason the 2nd film flopped is BECAUSE Chris Carter was trying to create a stand alone film. There are millions of worthless sci-fi movies out there for people who just want to see a sci-fi movie. Why would he want to alienate his already built in fan base? It’s like what George Lucas did with those horrible shit-stain, Star Wars prequels. Don’t go messing with the formula if your enormous fan base actually ENJOYS the mythos.

Those of us who have followed the X-Files faithfully from Season 1 (and I’m one of them, I own ALL of the seasons + the first movie because it didn’t suck) LOVE the X-Files mythology. The fans wanted to see some sort of follow up to the magnitude of the first X-Files movie. “I Want to Believe” was just sort of weak. I liked it but I sort of felt cheated. I wanted to know what was going on with the Super Soldiers and the legacy of the Syndicate’s replacement and the Alien Colonization and especially Baby William. If I wanted to just see a generic X-Files episode that had little to do with the 9 years of mythology I’d come to know and love, I would have just stayed home and watched one of the many episodes I own. If I’m going to pay to see a movie, I want it to follow up on the larger scope of the X-files. The X-Files have thousands of fans who WANT to see the mythology!

I’d love to see a third movie just because I’m still waiting for answers to the bigger picture. If they do another one, they need to focus on alien mythos they’ve created. There needs to be answers to Colonization, to Baby William, etc. Those are the things fans will LOVE and if there are new people who do not understand what’s going on, but they liked the movie, they will watch (or buy) the Season episodes and the previous films and become die-hard fans too. If they don’t, well, Carter would have never interested them to begin with.

The 2nd film bombed because the script deviated from what X-Files fans adore. They LIKE complicated plots which involves devotion to the years previous. Return to the mythology and the Fans will come out in droves AND they will love the film. I thought the first X-Files movie was kick-ass! I’m waiting for something like that again. I’m anxious and hopeful that they will follow-through and make something wonderful.

around min 4.42 her answer in English regarding XF3. but they cut some bits.

I'm not going to believe anything until we get a classic statement of obfuscation from Chris Carter about how they might possibly have a script, and it might possibly arrive after 2011, and then jokes about how we never know who's truly dead on XF and that Frohike is possibly the father and that Scully will probably have a beard this time.
THEN I'll get excited that plans have actually started for the movie.
