The first movie was entitled "X-Files: Fight the Future" and it was just a matter of time before the new sequel got its subtitle!
A few days ago, it was reported on Sci-Fi wire that the reason that the film hadn't received its subtitle yet was because 20th Century Fox and director Chris Carter couldn't agree on one. Chris Carter is quoted saying, "I can't tell you [what it is]," Carter said in response to a question during the Paley Festival in Los Angles. "Because I don't know, really. I know what I want it to be, but Fox has ideas of their own. And I know what it should be."
Well folks, we've been informed of the names both camps were vying for. The head honchos at Fox wanted "X-Files: Curse of the Werepeople" but Chris Carter was holding out for "X-Files: Full Moon Rising."
Sources close to the production are saying Carter has won, the new movie will be called X-Files: Full Moon Rising.
Yep, you heard right, X-Files: Full Moon Rising.
This goes along with what has been reported by the filmmakers, this film is intended to be a stand alone monster movie of the week.
We have confirmed with our Fox rep who gave us this quote from Chris Carter, "I've been quite excited about this story for quite some time and I have had it for a better part of two decades. I am sure X-Files fans everywhere will be excited to see my vision of merging Paul Schrader's Cat People and John Landis' An American Werewolf in London."
