X-Files 2 Filming This Year?

David Duchovny gives an update.

September 26, 2007 - Might the impending industry strikes be just the boot in the rear that X-Files 2 needed in order to finally get made? Perhaps. Agent Mulder himself, David Duchovny, has revealed that the long-awaited movie sequel could go before cameras as soon as this year.

Duchovny informed Movieweb.com that "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."

There were previous reports about X-Files 2 being slated for a summer 2008 release. If the film actually does shoot this winter then that could very well prove true, although it will be quite an effort to make such a tight schedule.
