James Wong confirmed he will write and direct two of the upcoming 10 episodes of The X-Files.
When asked about what story ideas he had in mind for the new episodes,
he did reveal one idea was already written. “I have one I am excited to
do," he said. "I talked it over with Chris and everybody is on board and
we’re going ahead with that, but the other one I am still noodling and
figuring out what I should be doing.”
He thoughtfully explained more about where season 11 might lead The X-Files
storylines: “You know, we want do to mythology stories and stories that
connect with each other, but I think we’re still interested in doing
stand alone stories. I think the second episode I do will be more of a
standalone story, and the first one will have some connections to the
mythology, but not as connected as Chris’s episodes.”
When asked about any other surprises in store with this
season’s writing team, or directors, and if there might be some new
faces involved from season 10, he clarified: “Were still finalizing
that. I know that’s talk about people [who] might do additional scripts,
but I don’t think we’re set with what those surprises might be.
Everybody wants guys that have worked on it to be back and whom we’d
love to work with, but everybody is so busy, you know. It’s really hard
to get people [to commit]. I’m juggling a couple of things with American Horror Story,
and this, so I can understand why people would be reluctant. Like,
Vince [Gilligan] might be too busy, we’re seeing if Howard [Gordon] is
available, but it’s hard.”
