THE MOVIE IS OUT THERE:
X-Files creator Chris Carter is developing a project for the big screen - but this film won't feature Mulder and Scully. "We made a deal some time ago with Miramax-Dimension to write-produce and for me to direct a movie," he tells TV Guide Online. "It's in the vein of Elephant Man and Good Will Hunting - something akin to those two movies." So, it won't be sci-fi? "No, but it deals with the limits of science."

If you've missed David Duchovny on The X-Files. Fear not. He's heading your way in the new summer comedy/thriller, Evolution. Also starring Julianne Moore and Orlando Jones, Evolution is directed by Ivan Reitman.

Hear the backstage stories from the set and be the first to know if those rumors were really true.
