I reported a couple of weeks ago that Black Panther and Sinners director Ryan Coogler had finished filming his Pilot for his new X-Files reboot/sequel series and now I have some cool news about how and where we might get to see it.
World of Reel is reporting that while Hulu still hasn’t given it a full series order yet, there’s some nevertheless exciting details to be had.
The pilot, which Coogler wrote and directed, is over two hours long and was reportedly shot on 65mm film by Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who was the Oscar-winning DP on Sinners.
UPDATED: Ryan Coogler’s X-Files Pilot has finished and star Patel is chatting about it
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler
This is odd for a TV series and word is that Coogler has asked Disney if they’d consider releasing it on the big screen.
Yes, we might be getting a new X-Files movie after all, to launch a whole new series set in that world first created by Chris Carter in the 90s.
The Pilot stars Himesh Patel, Danielle Deadwyler, Steve Buscemi, Amy Madigan, Devery Jacobs, Tantoo Cardinal, Lochlyn Munro, Sofia Grace Clifton, and Joel Montgrand.
Thoughts on a new X-Files? I know you have them, and I wanna hear ’em all.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
