Secrecy surrounds new X Files movie

Billy Connolly says working on the new X-Files movie has been like "being followed by the CIA".

Speaking at the Bafta/LA British Comedy Awards in Beverly Hills, the comedian revealed the security for preventing plotline leaks has been extreme.
"I can't tell you anything about [the film] or I'd have to kill you. I'm not allowed to tell anyone, my family even," he joked.

But he added: "My wife knows because I told her, she made me but she's sworn not to tell anybody."

Apparently, after a day of shooting, actors haven't even been allowed to keep their lines.

"When you get the little script in the morning it's red with black writing and you have to give it back at the end of the night in case people steal it. Somebody did find one of those sheets that tell you who's doing what during the day and it appeared on the internet. It was one of the crew's day sheet - it's like being followed by the CIA, it's weird."

Billy said working alongside David Duchovny (Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Scully) has been a great learning curve.

"It's great to be a part of, can you imagine working with them two, how tight it is? They're used to that depth of acting and taking their time and it's such a luxury because you're used to being in things where you have to hurry along. I think I acted quite well in it, there's a couple of bits in it where I thought 'that might actually be ok'," he said.

Very happy it is back!!!!!!!

I've merged your thread TK-421, but I've left a re-direct to this small forgotten corner of Chronicles.

That is one a reasons I really wonder if this film will be successful. Surely, it is about 5 years too late?

[Niolani]

Well, what did everybody think?

[Dave]

Well, I wrote a review once, but it must have been eaten in the great Chronicles website crash of 2008!

Can't remember it that well now - it was like an extended episode really. I was glad to see the relationships had moved on. I thought that, even if you had never seen 'The X-Files' before, it still worked as a crime thriller. It was a little more gory than the TV show, quite a bit of blood and dismembered limbs! I remember I was fairly positive about about it, but other comments were not so upbeat, and it didn't do very well at the box office.

[Niolani]

Well, you can tell I haven't been here for a while, didn't even know the site crashed. I recently watched the movie and jumped on here to discuss it but I couldn't find any discussion where someone had seen it.

I didn't like it. It was as you said Dave, like a long episode. I felt it was just a vehicle for Mulder and Scully's relationship development. I didn't feel it had enough scope as a movie. Very disappointing.
