"The things I can do with my Spirograph PhotoShop!"

QuoteWe now have three new shots from the upcoming "X-Files: I Want to Believe," which feature a look at Xzibit as an FBI agent working alongside Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) and Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson). One of the other shots, shows Mulder and Scully getting a bit close.

While, the plot is being kept a secret, the novelization of the film has revealed the basic story. "When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest's questionable "visions" send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women's disappearance. It's a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere... and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it!"

The Chris Carter-directed film is scheduled to hit theaters on July 25th. The trailer is set to appear in front of "Iron Man" on May 2nd.

So.... did anyone see I Want To Believe?

I couldn't find any X-Files: I Want To Believe threads except this one and one that has been necro since last year..

I saw it tonight and as a regular episode it wasn't that bad. As some kind of tentpole summer blockbuster box office champ.....well it really hasn't worked out that way....

Sigh... I really loved X Files way back when, but they waited too long for this. I couldn't get excited about it from the previews, and the general concensus from reviewers is that it was underwhelming. In the end, it appears to be a completely forgettable addition to a franchise that's so far out of the public conciousness that it's not even parodied anymore.

I think you summed it up beautifully.  Nothing more to add.

That alone was better The X Files: I Want to Heave.....

(I'd go into why but I already did in the "Last Movie Seen" thread)

Doctor Who?

It's so sad seeing The Xfiles go out like this :speechless:

Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck

BTW, if anybody wondered where Chris Carter got his inspiration for this movie.....

It's a YouTube video that I'm "spoilering" because it's not for animal lovers.

"This 1940 film records the successful experiments in the resuscitation of life to dead animals (dogs), as conducted at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy, Voronezh, U.S.S.R."

Spoiler

So I guess this movie could have been worse.  The "X File" could have been about something else from YouTube....like hedgehogs who give dramatic stares....
