In previous interview for CTV News, Mr. Davis confirmed the show’s newly-announced six-episode run will be shot in Vancouver. The Globe and Mail added that William B. Davis, who played the “Cigarette-Smoking Man” villain in the iconic 1990s series The X-Files, says there’s something fitting about plans to shoot six new episodes of the series in the B.C. city this summer.
“[Vancouver is] where the show belongs,” said Mr. Davis, now acting on the made-in-Vancouver time-travel TV series Continuum.
“The Vancouver production community, in a way, deserves to do the
remount since the Vancouver production community was the community that
launched the show.”
One mystery lingering around this revival is exactly why X-Files is coming back to Vancouver.
“I
don’t have any inside information on why they decided to come back
here,” said Mr. Davis, who has been told by Mr. Carter that he will be
back in the new series. “I can think of lots of good reasons, from
sentimental to atmosphere to lower Canadian dollar to amazing crews to a
good experience.”
