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.
