Chris Carter Talks “X-Files”

The X-Files: I Want to Believe, starring David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Amanda Peet and Billy Connolly, hits theaters July 25, 2008.

Plot details have been blanketed in secrecy, but director Chris Carter recently gave Entertainment Weekly’s Clark Collis a few scraps about the movie.

Carter says he only showed the script to certain crew members, and they had to “go into a room where the script was taken out of a locked cabinet, and then we had video cameras trained on them so they couldn’t use their phone or take pictures of anything.”

Yes, he’s serious. During the ninth season of The X-Files, Carter looked up one day to see men in suits in his office. “It was the Secret Service. They were investigating a leak of Minority Report that came out of our offices. Someone had used a phone at night to call Ain’t It Cool, and the Secret Service was called in because it is a federal crime: trade secrets or intellectual property theft. They were going after the person.”
