Hello, and welcome!
I'm not well-versed in TV directors, but I have long felt that the way to create a new DS would have been for DC to turn the series over to Chris Carter. He, in turn, could have written an episode in which Scully and Mulder are sent to Collinsport, Maine to investigate the strange goings-on. This episode could have served as a pilot for the new DS, introducing the characters, plots, etc.
Of course, this will never happen, now that "The X Files" has been cancelled...
Regards,
John
