Did you know
• Vanessa Morley: When Fox Mulder and Dana Scully first walk back into the F.B.I. offices right before they walk into the bullpen, a female agent walks by that catches Mulder's attention and he watches her walk away. The woman is the actress who throughout The X-Files (1993) played the young Samantha Mulder, and is the same Samantha in the photo Mulder has taped to the back of his home office door.
• This movie is dedicated to Randy Stone, the casting agent who cast Pilot (1993), and who found David Duchovny to play Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson to play Dana Scully. Stone died in 2007.
• Mitch Pileggi stated at a convention that the plot was so top secret that he didn't find out that his character Walter Skinner was in this movie until filming was well under way. He also joked that he could ask for as much money as he wanted as filming took place during the writers' strike, meaning he couldn't be written out.
