Willie the Duck

Just to clarify--they have expressed an interest in doing so. There is supposedly a director attached. That is a long way from them actually doing so (much less it being released and in distribution). Any number of properties are at that stage of development, many of which with actual treatments or full-fledged scripts, but still languishing in development hell. Think how long the rest of the GI Joe* cinematic universe** has been languishing while the powers that be wrangle over rights and schedules and production company capacity and all the time checking the prevailing winds to see if they should move forward at all, etc.So they are rebooting X-Files. This caught me by surprise. I forgot they own it now.
*Since this board focuses so much on Hasbro properties
**supposedly bringing in Micronauts, Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, M.A.S.K. and Rom; along with maybe retroactively splicing itself to Michael Bay's transformer movies
I'm not saying it won't happen (nor that whether they should isn't a decent thread premise), but I'm going to wait for a lot more evidence of movement before I start expecting this thing to happen.
