Welcome to Video Village, a sanctuary of confidence between the filmmakers, the video monitors, and you reporters. Watch out for the mop and bucket. Be light on your toes. The flimsy plywood floor creaks, and we're sure there's a soft spot somewhere. Take a seat on the folding chairs. You'll probably need to squint to see the two video monitors. But we'd have it no other way. Yes, on the other side of the set's wall are Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
Don't talk. Don't divulge. Please. This scene you'll watch is vital. Revealing the wrong morsel of secure info could have disastrous consequences that'll impact box-office, your career, ocean tides, and your great-grandchildren's TV-viewing habits. We must have absolute secrecy. After all, this is The X-Files. And the truth ain't available today. In fact, it may never be. On July 25th, we're releasing X-Files: I Want to Believewith black censor bars and audio gaps that'll only allow the edges of the screen to be seen and prepositions and articles to be heard. Yes sir, we take spoilers that seriously.
That is all the public needs to know. Any else will ruin the experience. But regardless we'll show you this scene, completely uncensored, as a personal gift. Just don't share it. Now quiet down, put your headphones on, and remember to burn your notes after viewing.
Did you all enjoy the few takes you watched? Good. No this is not the first scene of the film, but it is the first scene with Mulder and Scully together. But please don't tell anyone that.
We understand that's frustrating. You're here to report. So if your editor strapped you to a tractor tire and threatened you with kerosene and a blowtorch to reveal something, anything at all, what could you disclose?
Well let us say this:

We are negotiating with the Vatican to have the revelation of such information declared a mortal sin.
And under absolutely no circumstances - seriously, if you reveal this we'll feed you to the hogs and then make sure you never cover anything more high-profile than a Sci-Fi channel movie - you cannot divulge that Scully, yes Gillian Anderson with the assistance of potent cougar steroids and no makeup effects, has grown a beard and supplements her F.B.I. income with a gig as a weekend circus performer.
If we see that info published, be paranoid.
So, just copy this down and repeat after us: The sequel has a good, scary stand-alone story to tell - trust us. It will focus on who Mulder and Scully are and their relationship - trust us. We are excited about the script - trust us. Everyone is happy to be back together - trust us. This film will be great. This film will be great. This film will...
EDITOR'S NOTE: We will all miss David, but apparently he divulged too much information and was killed. Rest in peace David... Rest in...
