    Ryan Coogler’s “The X-Files” Reboot May Still Happen

    We’re…really not sure how to feel about this. Chris Carter‘s “The X-Files” series remains one of our absolute favorites, as long as we pretend that last ‘season’ never happened. Turns out, “Black Panther” writer/director Ryan Coogler is also a fan, and is interested in making his own version.

    This isn’t the first time such a thing has been discussed, but, this IS the most direct confirmation of the project still in some sort of production.

    In a piece from Bloomberg this morning, the lede is buried: “Disney, which birthed the idea of ‘cinematic universes,’ is developing a new version of ‘X-Files‘ that would be produced by Ryan Coogler, the director of ‘Black Panther‘ and ‘Creed.'” Thats…that’s it. Nothing more about it.

    So, is this…a good idea? A bad idea? Something you’ll wait and see before making judgements on?

    You can catch the classic FOX series, starring Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, on Amazon’s Freevee.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
