The film started off as a spec script: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spec_script written by Reddick for an episode of The X-Files: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files, in order for Reddick to get a TV agent. He never submitted it to The X-files after a colleague at New Line Cinema persuaded him to write it as a feature-length film.
