I never, ever, thought they'd actually make a second movie.

I am becoming less and less skeptical of this actually happening. (I'm still skeptical that they're not going to screw it up.)

Exclusive: The X Files 2 Starts Shooting Dec. 10

October 29, 2007

After years of David Duchovny talking about the sequel, and almost 10 years after the first feature, 20th Century is finally ready to start production on The X Files 2 with the actor in place to reprise his role of Special Agent Fox Mulder. Gillian Anderson is also expected to be back on board to play Special Agent Dana Scully.

Shooting is scheduled to begin on December 10 in Vancouver under the direction of series creator Chris Carter. Carter and Frank Spotnitz wrote the script.

The studio is referring to the film in casting breakdowns as "Done One."

The popular series ran on Fox from 1993 to 2002. Rob Bowman directed the first feature, which hit theaters on June 19, 1998.

So that would probably mean a Christmas '08 release, then?

 

[U2democrat]

I really need to get the movie on DVD. I still have it on VHS.

This just in from Sci Fi Wire:

Duchovny Has X-Files Reunion

The X-Files star David Duchovny told SCI FI Wire that he had a reunion lunch with co-star Gillian Anderson and series creator Chris Carter in Los Angeles recently to discuss the long-gestating X-Files big-screen sequel film.

"That was nice," Duchovny said while promoting his latest film, Things We Lost in the Fire. "I see Chris quite a bit. We live kind of in the same neighborhood. We live within maybe 10 or 15 miles of one another, but I hadn't seen Gillian in a while. So it was like a reunion. It really was. It was more emotional than I would have thought it was [going to be]. If you spend that much time with people and go through that much, there's a lot of residual feeling."

The X-Files 2 is tentatively set to go before the camera in December, with Carter directing, based on a script he wrote with veteran X-Files writer-producer Frank Spotnitz. Duchovny will reprise his role as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, and Anderson will return as Special Agent Dana Scully.

The plot remains a secret, but Duchovny expressed his hope that the second feature will recapture the essence of the series, which ran for nine seasons, from 1993 to 2002. It also spawned a spinoff TV show (The Lone Gunmen) and the first movie, The X-Files, which premiered in 1998.

"I want us to go out and do what the show always did best, which is really smart, scary, ultimately ambiguous stuff," Duchovny said. "I think there's been a lot of shows and movies that kind of tread the same area, or tried to, and I think we always did it best. And I hope we can go out and do it best again."

I've been waiting to hear this for quite sometime.

Im at the theatre come next July!

Can't believe they are actually doing this movie!

 

[bonoishot]

If there are any UK fans of the X Files. Season 1 - 9 and movie 1 on amazon.co.uk box set reduced from £199 to £64.99.

Thought i will prob only watch the first 6 or 7 seasons.

I have a casting update or the lack of a past character. I saw Vancouver actor William B Davis - aka the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on a local breakie show here and he said that he doesn't think his character will be in the movie(as he was blown to bits in the last one anyway). He said that the producers would probably have called his agent by now.

 

[BonosBaby12]

Think it would have been bit of a stretch for the Cigarette Man to return. His character had a great run while he was around

I just bought the first Mythology boxed set and I'm really enjoying seeing the huge canvas created all over again. It's nice to not have to sit through the monster episodes (some of which are great, I know) to get to the next installment of the real story.

it's funny because when I used to watch the series on TV I always preferred the stand alone monster episodes better but when my wife recently re-watched the whole thing on DVD I found I was more interested in the Mythology episodes...

 

[lazarus]

The monster episodes showed that the writers of the X-Files could put stand alones on TV that rivalled the best of The Outer Limits, Night Gallery, Twilight Zone, etc. But I think the Mythology is what really set the series apart from everything that had come before. And only Lost has equalled it in such an overarching convoluted (in a good way) fashion.

It's a huge bummer that the mythology never really went anywhere satisfying though. I agree, it was amazing up until the end of the '90's pretty much.


I'm excited to hear it's being filmed in Vancouver again. I never really liked the move to California, lost a lot of the atmosphere I felt.

Pretty crazy if it does actually come out in July, that's not much of a wait at all. Hopefully it won't suffer from being rolled out that quickly.

So excited that the filming is back to Vancouver.

 

[jobob]

I want to believe ...

Filming in Vancouver starts next month, you all say? I too am glad it's being filmed in Vancouver; the series' atmosphere changed -- for the worse -- when production shifted to LA.

And the movie is to be in theaters in July?



There may just be another XF movie after all!

 

[jobob]

sorry, double post

Will this movie follow the X-Files mytharc/mythology (alien conspiracy) storyline? - Unlike the first X-Files movie, this one will not follow the mythology storyline. The movie is a supernatural thriller in the stand-alone tradition and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in unexpected directions.

Who else will be in it, besides Duchovny & Anderson? - Unknown but Robert Patrick (Agent John Doggett) and Nicholas Lea (Alex Krychek) said that they will not be participating in the movie. William B Davis(Cigarette Smoking Man) will not be as well.

Ten Thirteen Productions? - Creator, Chris Carter is using the name; 'The Crying Box Productions Inc.' for all related production instead of the name 'Ten Thirteen Productions.'

Thanks for that update

I'm kind of glad its a stand alone one, something different. To me that's when the humor and the Mulder/Scully dynamic was at its best, in stand alone episodes.

 

[UberBeaver]

Why would they not address the mythology? Nonsense.

 

[U2democrat]

Because it got all blowed up in the finale i guess


(I know blowed is not a word but its fun to "say" )

 

[jobob]

Because in the middle and the end, the mythology made no sense?

 

[corianderstem]

Because better late than never to acknowledge they fucked it up 7 or 8 years ago and they should just leave it alone before the fans and former fans finally start congregating with pitchforks and torches?
