You may recall several months ago when we at The Moviefile reported on the upcoming X-Files film and noted that writer/director Chris Carter was keeping plot details from the film so tight that crew members were only allowed to read the script in a video-monitored room. Now Carter seems to be delving even deeper into life as a secret squirrel: he's keeping the fact that he's directing a new film entirely under wraps. The Hollywood Reporter broke the story today that Carter is already halfway through directing Fencewalker, a dark drama starring Natalie Dormer, Katie Cassidy (David Cassidy's daughter!) and Xzibit. The film, currently shooting in L.A., is rumored to be a coming-of-age, semi-autobiographical (the longest word I've typed in five years) character piece. THR also points out that the film has no supernatural elements, unless you count the director's paranoia. What it is he has to be paranoid about, I'm not sure.
Neither Chris Carter's nor the cast members' representatives would confirm that the film is shooting, and it's not even listed on IMDb. And let me tell you, when a movie isn't listed on the IMDb, you know that's some seriously covert shit.
THR drew comparisons about the secrecy surrounding Fencewalker to that of J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield, a film that probably everyone but the makers of Dramamine wish would have remained a secret. As for me (and presumably my fellow X-Philes), I can't deny that I'm a little curious to see what Carter has up his sleeve. If Katie Cassidy and Xzibit have even a third of the kind of crackling chemistry of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, I'll not only buy a ticket, I may even start a 'shipper website. That is, if Carter lets anyone know where the film is showing.
