The X-Files 2: What We Know So Far

Alright, so we know that The X-Files 2 is definitely going to happen, but as far as details go, we really don't have much to go on at this point. Here is a quick summary of what we do know so far:

  • The film was written by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz, and will be directed by Carter.

  • It will star Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny.

  • The movie will be released on July 25, 2008.

  • Shooting will begin on Dec 10, in Vancouver, B.C.

  • The sequel will be a "stand-alone story and supernatural thriller that takes the complicated relationship between Mulder and Scully in new directions."
  • I've contacted William B. Davis through his website and asked if he has been contacted regarding the film. He responded that, "so far there is no sign of any of the Canadians being in the new movie." (The link to Mr. Davis website is included in the links section of this site. I encourage you to check it out.)
For now, that's about all we know.

Will Doggett and Reyes make an appearance? How will baby William be dealt with? How about the fact that when we last saw Mulder and Scully, they were on the run from the government? Will the film take place directly after the events of season nine, or will it reflect the years that have passed since the end of the series? Hopefully in the coming month's we will have all of these questions answered.

And when we do, you'll read it here first.

And how fabulous is it that they're returning to Vancouver??? The original X-Files feel, baby!!!!

I think I might be way too excited about this.

Yes! Thank goodness they are going back to Vancouver.

Try as they might, Carter and crew were never able to get the deserts of California to seems as scary as the woods of B.C.
