More from MoviesChris Carter, the creator of "The X-Files," knows a thing or two about secrets. So it's no surprise that he has managed to keep his latest film project under wraps for so long.
Carter is in the midst of directing "Fencewalker," a dark drama starring several up-and-comers, including "The Tudors" star Natalie Dormer; David Cassidy's daughter, Katie Cassidy; rapper-turned-actor Xzibit; and Derek Magyar and Meckah Brooks.
Neither Carter's reps nor the actors' reps would confirm that the film is shooting, but the story is essentially a coming-of-age semiautobiographical piece with no supernatural elements.
The feature is shooting in the Los Angeles area, including in Carter's hometown of Bellflower.
Carter wrote the script for what is thought to be his passion project some time ago and raised the financing himself. The film has a modest budget and no distributor at this point.
Dormer appeared in 2005's "Casanova," while Cassidy was a regular on TV's "Supernatural." Cassidy, who grew up in Calabasas, next appears with Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace in the action-thriller "Taken," which is due out this fall.
Xzibit appears in Carter's upcoming "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," while Magyar is doing post-production work on the horror thriller "Train."
