While promoting his new Showtime comedy “Californication,” David Duchovny indicated Saturday during the Television Critics Association press tour that the film that an X-File sequel is one step closer to becoming a reality.

“I’m supposed to see a script next week,” Duchovny said at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, adding that creator Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz wrote the screenplay and that Carter is set to direct.

Duchovny also reiterated past remarks that he and “X-Files” co-star Gillian Anderson “are on board.”
