Update: Writer/Director Glen Morgan’s episode Home Again.

The X-Files Revival filmed a scene with Philadelphia squatters in winter being removed from a building near Victory Square in downtown Vancouver this morning. And put its premiere date on a prop eviction notice at the doorway. Well played The X-Files. Well played.

Update:

The X-Files revival plans to film a separate sequence overnight Thursday of this Philadelphia squatters camp on the pavement being hosed with water to make them move — to be filmed on West Cordova in Gastown between Abbott and Carrall Streets.

  1. My walk in to work was detoured b/c they were watering down Cambie Street between Hastings & Pender this morning and were having pedestrian traffic cross to the other side of the street by the park. VPD officer, when I asked him what they were doing, said “it’s for the x-files”. I’ll put on my tin foil hat now.

  2. It’s not Langley. 🙁 Dean Haglund recently moved to Australia. And from what i have heard, the Gunmen have not been contacted. Thank you for all the photos! Fantastic! And love the poster date.

    1. Thankyou. I realized after I posted it that he looked familiar because he’s a Once Upon a Time crew member, now working on The X-Files. There is a slight — very slight — resemblance to Dean Haglund. Sorry to hear the Lone Gunmen won’t be involved in the Revival.
