LOS ANGELES - Fans of The X-Files no longer have to rely on Internet rumors to seek the truth about a sequel to the 1998 movie based on the popular TV series. On Wednesday, Fox announced production will start Dec. 10 on the sequel, which reunites the show's stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and will be filmed in Vancouver.
The studio also picked July 25 as the U.S. release date. Series creator Chris Carter will direct the still-untitled film.
Carter also co-wrote the screenplay with X-Files veteran Frank Spotnitz
The duo also are producing. The studio is staying little about the film's story line.
All that is being revealed is that it is a "supernatural thriller" and that the movie will take the complicated relationship between FBI agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions as Mulder continues on his quest for the truth and Scully remains inextricably tied to her partner's pursuits.
The July 25 release date would put X-Files up against Step Brothers, a comedy starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and an untitled comedy starring Ice Cube.
Fox's X-Files ran for nine seasons, ending in 2002.
The first feature film, produced by Carter and co-written with Spotnitz, grossed $187 million worldwide.
