Digital Bits just reported within the last couple of days that Fox finished the HD restoration for the full series but didn't say a word about it at Comic Con. The rumor going around is that Chris Carter has been talking with 20th TV about possibly doing a reboot of the show for television, so they're holding off for now on the BD release until they know what's happening with the reboot and can plan their marketing accordingly. Source: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/072814_1430 It's more than a rumor. If you follow the links within the article, they eventually go to the original interview with Carter who says that he's had discussions with Fox about the show and how the the people running the studio now are the people he came up in the business with. He doesn't get specific, when pressed, as to whether that means a third film or a reboot, though. Maybe Fox is interested in making a limited-run season like they just did with 24? I'm interested in whatever comes out of it, either way.

A reboot with new actors would go over very poorly -- fans would refuse to watch, and I doubt Carter would entertain the idea either. It's more likely that they would bring it back for a limited season, like Fox recently did with 24, to finish out the alien invasion story arc and give it closure. At least I'd hope so. Would it, though? The 2004 GALACTICA reboot was a success as was STAR TREK: TNG (even though that was't quite a reboot, necessarily). If it's handled well I think it could be interesting--especially if Scully and Mulder have some part in it. Maybe Mulder could be the new Deep Throat or Agent X to our new protagonists? Chris Carter was involved in an "official" comic book release of "Season 9" a year ago so he seems to want to still be involved to some degree. I agree that bringing it back as a limited-run season may be something that interests everyone. It seemed to work for 24.
