Duchovny says X-Files 2 signed this week
Stars talk to the press about speculative projects all the time in the hope that it helps push the projects forward, and David Duchovny has been guilty of this for a second X-Files film for some time. Now though he says they're close to signing the deal for the second film.
The last we heard was two months shy of a year when word was that Frank Spotnitz had signed up to help write the film, and at the time he said there was a really good chance it would happen.
Duchovny has spoken before about his desire to make the sequel, but it has been so delayed it's unbelievable, either that or it was never going to happen anyway, except that doesn't right true when we hear about new writers and such.
Now IESB has comments from Duchovny that the deal is really close and that the deal should be signed in a matter of weeks with plans to start shooting in 2008.
Okay, calm down though, we've heard these very same comments before a few years back, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that this time they come true. I'd definitely like to see the film get made, although the word was from the writer announcement above, that the story wouldn't follow the usual X-File line but would be a stand alone horror.
No word on whether Gillian Anderson will return though, or Chris Carter.
