In the early 90’s, when “The X-Files” was one of the hottest properties on television, Fox was eager to work with creator Chris Carter in creating new series, hoping to capture lightning in the bottle again.
The first series that Carter came up with was the Lance Henrickson starring “Millennium.” The show followed Frank Black a former FBI investigator with a history of mental issues, who is recruited by the mysterious Millennium Group, a private group of former law-enforcement personnel who investigate crimes of the supernatural but whose true agenda remained murky and had something to do with the coming millennial year.
The series was canceled after its third season and some of the storylines were resolved on an episode of “The X-Files” that saw Black crossover to a case with Mulder and Scully.
Now it appears 20th Century Fox is ready to revive the series on the big-screen. And that it may do it without creator Chris Carter.
Henrickson tells ScreenRant that the studio is looking into a movie with his involvement.
“I have heard rumblings that Fox are interested in bringing Millennium back to screens—possibly without the involvement of Chris Carter—and this independent route would seem like a way of doing so. It’s also believed that the studio intends to make another X-Files film, and again it’s possible that Carter won’t be involved,” he said.
“Now, be aware that this is speculation, but also something that I have heard through the grapevine, so there might be some truth to it,” he added.
