Carter argues with Fox over 'X-Files'

Chris Carter has revealed he is currently arguing with studio 20th Century Fox over the title for his upcoming X-Files film sequel.

Speaking at the 2008 Paley Festival, Carter said: "I know what I want it (the title) to be, but Fox has ideas of their own. I know what it should be."

Carter added that a new film has taken such a long time because he "needed a break from the whole experience", something he describes as "all-consuming".

Discussing the success of the TV series, Carter admitted that he didn't have an overall story arc planned and writers made things up as they went along.

"If you have a series bible, they can give it to somebody else and fire you," said Carter.

Co-writer and producer Frank Spotnitz said the film, which re-unites David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, will be accessible to people that aren't familiar with the TV show.

"It will not be a mythology movie, but it's true to everything that's come before," Spotnitz said.

The X-Files sequel is scheduled for release this summer.
