This group of elders, known as the Syndicate, finds out that its painstakingly woven web of deceit may unravel because of Mulder and an unexpected alien evolution. And they will see a more human side to the character known as Well-Manicured Man. Not really, according to the movie's director, Rob Bowman. I think this movie will be very bittersweet for the show's fans. Chris Carter, series creator and the movie's executive producer, disagrees.
Big things happen that satisfy our audience.
But it's not like we brought the series to an end. We didn't sacrifice everything. David Duchovny, who plays Mulder, believes there will be some inevitable discontent because the movie had to entertain the casual fan as well as those who plan their entire weekend around watching the TV show Sunday nights. That's why they are die-hard fans. That's why we love them so much.
