X-Files creator hospitalized

The X-Files creator Chris Carter has been hospitalized for exhaustion. This was brought on by “physical exhaustion and an acute sleeping disorder.”

The pressure on the man must be enormous. He’s working on a new movie Fencewalker and just finished The X-Files: I Want to Believe movie. While reviews of the movie weren’t great, it did make $60 million in the worldwide box office (from a $30 million budget). That’s not including the inevitable DVD sales (which will probably be strong due to the number of X-Files enthusiasts out there). How much does a movie have to make in order to be considered a success by Hollywood standards?

I admit that I know nothing about Chris Carter, so the skeptic in me can’t help but wonder if “exhaustion” is a euphemism for some other addiction. Perhaps he and David Duchovny will run into each other while hospitalized and chat about old times.
