The X-Files? No!!! Because they went through so much conspiracy theory and sci-do material in the original X-Files that there is hardly anything new to do with it. Maybe if they could make a movie set in 2012 about the alien wars with the original cast that would be cool, but I wouldn’t see a need to watch a reboot. Plus, I fear that they wouldn’t capture the scare factor as well.A better idea would be to take the conspiracy-side of things in X-files, add in the creepy big-brother technology/overtones of Person of Interest, extract out the meat of the real-life conspiracies of the IRS's political targeting, the NSA and DEA's domestic spying, the FDA and EPA's agenda-/money-based regulatory systems, the "big business" interests (prison-industrial, military-industrial, and medical-/agricultural-industrial complexes), and Agenda 21… all together as your setting… that could make for some damn scary psychological shit.
Putting on your tinfoil hat, what do you think?
If they bring it back, it will have new writers, it isn’t going to be the same old X-Files.
They will definitely change it up.
I like your idea, fwiw. And I’m pretty dead-set against the idea of the reboot.
