” Tomorrow’s Entertainment “ already told you that David Duchovny had already read the script for the new movie and was unwilling to reveal anything about it, except that it would not be a ” mythology - based ” plot like the first one was.. But on Tuesday he said..

” It’s at.. the script is written and as far as I know we’re all trying to shoot in December at some point.. We would all love it if we could keep it a secret and just give everybody a fresh experience of not knowing what the movie’s about.. I know if I was a fan of the show I would kind of be excited to be surprised..”

If that’s indeed true, then the movie would go into production before that big nasty strike that everybody’s talking about; and that means we could see it as early as mid 2008.. Sure, there had been some vague promises before, but this latest announcement is the first time anyone has heard of a start date for the production.. News of the sequel began to heat up when Agent Scully herself, Gillian Anderson, had discussed the possibility on her personal web site back in May.. The last time Duchovny had commented on the film was back in July, but he had remained relatively tight - lipped on many of the details involved..

Duchovny has just finished work on Vincent Perez’s film, The Secret, and Gillian Anderson will soon begin shooting How To Lose Friends and Alienate People.. After that, both stars will have two big empty spots in their schedules, just in time for December.. I was given the heads up of a 10th December 2007 as start of production in Vancouver.. Even though it is not exactly the most detailed information, when it comes to X - Files, I think most fans will take what they can get.. Stay tuned for updates as they come our way..
