David Duchovny Says 'X-Files 2' Will Start Shooting This December

Well, here we go again; talk of another X-Files film seemed to be the movie gossip that refused to die this summer. But for the faithful, it's all finally coming together. Movieweb recently interviewed David Duchovny about the release of the DVD for The TV Set (Jake Kasdan) when the actor decided to drop a little bomb. Duchovny told Movieweb, "the script [for X-Files 2] is written and as far as I know we're all trying to shoot in December at some point." 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. Duchovny requested that fans try and contain themselves and, "keep it a secret and just give everybody a fresh experience of not knowing what the movie's about" -- staying true to form, there was not much he could add beyond confirming that yes, the script is complete and they are ready and willing to start production. 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.

Im sure the Xfiles faithful will be there for it, but after the story got stretched and altered so much over so many seasons is there really anything left of interest?
And if it is a standalone and not a myth story, it needs to be REALLY good to succeed as a standalone film.

Oh this could be good. Because it's X-Files doesn't mean it has to be within the FBI exactly but merely an extension of the main characters and their discoveries.
I mean it could potentially pick up with Mulder and Scully, both beyond the X-Files assignment, and dealing with something themselves (I'm not talking raising the baby) such as a discovery or whatnot.
We can bring Skinner back and have a little help from old names.

'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' has wrapped, so Anderson should be free and clear.

fantastic news! best show ever put to tv and one of the best tv/movies, yeah im an xfiles fan, the wife and i have watched the complete series 3 times now since buying the dvd boxset... but why o why did they have to kill off the lone gunmen! anyways this is great news and if they have the right script and keep it light for the masses so as not to confuse them to much hopefully it'll be a hit and turn into a movie series that David always wished for and then just maybe we might get a revival on tv... alright i can keep dreaming cant i?

x files 2 - England's Queen Looks On -
unFame says:
ENGLAND’S QUEEN RULES –
AND GILLIAN ANDERSON TRIES
US/UK Hollywood Iron-Curtain Blocks The Queen of England
Gillian Anderson Tries – the female voice is imperative to society’s survival;
The Queen of England has understanding, wisdom, kindness and truth with her. The next x-files 2 (x files 2) will be when ‘The Queen of England' arises’ ...crushing all media that blocks her voice ...while a humble servant ...one that submits to the point of humiliation for the voice of female (which is needed more than ever in these times) for the survival of society - Gillian Anderson meets that criteria - will make things right again.
This is the next “x files 2”. God bless the Queen of England and all that support her voice (NOT HOLLYWOOD US|UK IRON CURTAIN RAGS). GOD BLESSES THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND and Gillian Anderson who supports her.
best wishes, thanks for having me
