Welcome to The Impossible Scenario

The rumours had been kicking around for months (years actually). Then last summer Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz suggested that there was, perhaps, a script in the works. Soon David Duchovney was making vague references to the very real possibility of a film. In mid-August, Gillian Anderson announced that she would no longer be appearing in the movie Helen, which she had been scheduled to star in. Anderson's withdrawel from Helen was the best evidence yet that a new X-Files film really might become a reality. All evidence seemed to suggest that it was going to happen, but in the wacky world of Hollywood, nothing is a definite, rumours can never be trusted and deals can always fall through. In other words, when it comes to the Hollywood rumour mill, it's best to trust no one.

X-Philes across the globe waited with baited breath as summer turned to fall, but no news was heard, no gossip leaked. It was a long three months.

Then, on November 1, 2007, the official announcement we had all been waiting years for was finally made. Fans everywhere breathed a collective sigh of relief. The impossible scenario has become a reality: The X-Files 2 is going to be made. (Check out the Variety article here.)

Over the next seven months, as we all collectively count down to the film's June release, I'm going to do my best to track down as much info as possible about the film. I have been thinking about putting this blog together for months, but refused to commit myself until there was official confirmation that the movie was going to be a reality.

Well, I got my confirmation, and so here's the blog.

I look forward to communicating with the thousands of X-Philes out there, as well as providing them with a one stop shop for all things X-Files 2. I am so insanely excited that this film is being made, and I know you are too. So stop by often, drop me a line with any news you come across, and start re-watching those old episodes, because folks... The X-Files 2 is on the way!!!!

Let the celebrations begin.
