   Other than seeing the trailer (twice), fans of "The X-Files" didn't   
   learn much about the upcoming movie from Chris Carter at Wednesday's   
   Paley Center event, except perhaps that the timing was dictated by   
   20th Century Fox saying, as the series creator put it, "Now or never."   
      
   As moderator, Variety's Cynthia Littleton was the only woman on stage   
   along with a dozen men ("We did hire women on this show," Carter noted   
   at the outset) that included producers, directors and series cast   
   members Mitch Pileggi, Nic Lea and Dean Hagland.   
      
   Addressing his absence since the series ended, Carter said he "needed   
   a break from the whole experience, which was all-consuming." He also   
   offered some insight into the whole "Trust No One" mindset embodied by   
   the show, saying that the writers made up the mythology as they went   
   along and that he didn't believe in elaborate story "bibles" for   
   series. "If you have a bible, they can give it to somebody else and   
   fire you," he said.   
      
   Regarding the movie, which will be released in July, Carter wouldn't   
   divulge the title (he's apparently still wrestling with Fox about   
   that) but did say that the plot would mark the six-year span since the   
   series ended and offer some insight into that strange baby that Scully   
   (Gillian Anderson) birthed during the show's run.   
      
   Among the night's playful jockeying among the participants Haglund,   
   one of "The Lone Gunmen" on the show, purposely screwed up a reference   
   to Lea's current ABC Family series "Kyle XY," calling it "Kyle KY."   
   Pileggi, who played FBI Asst. Director Skinner, also expressed chagrin   
   that he wasn't included in the next chapter of "X-Files" lore. "You   
   guys did another movie?" he asked.   
      
   Notably, the enthusiastic crowd -- which whooped and hollered at the   
   trailer -- applauded for only one other series in the montage for this   
   year's Paley event: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
