X-Files Film Has Official Title

The second X-Files movie now has a title. Variety says it will be called X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Apparently six years have elapsed since the end of the series and the film sequel, slated to hit theaters July 25.

Show creator Chris Carter is keeping pretty tight-lipped about the movie’s plot but has said it would stand on its own as a story. Carter told SCI FI.com’s Sci Fi Wire that he wants to “scare the pants off you” like a really good episode of the show.

Since he said “really good” I’m assuming that means no appearances by Robert Patrick or Annabeth Gish. I’m just saying.

X-Files Movie Wraps

There aren’t many movies that hold a press conference just to say, “that’s a wrap!” But then The X-Files have always done things a little differently.

Chris Carter and David Duchovny (Gillian Anderson canceled due to illness) were on hand on Thursday to field questions from the press about the film and though the truth may be out there, you weren’t going to hear it from either one of these guys.

Carter seemed rather amused by the attention the film got while in production but he stuck to his guns about keeping the plot a secret. “To tell you the truth,” he said, “I would like to make the movie secretly and put it out there on July 25, have everybody get a gift they could open.”

Carter also claimed that the video of Mulder and Scully kissing, which was passed around on the Internet, was staged purely to throw off speculating fans.

You can read the entire story at The National Post, an interesting read but you won’t come away knowing any more than you knew when you went in.

Fox Sets Date for X-Files Return

That’s Fox the studio, not Fox the person, but he’ll be there too in July of 2008. According to Variety, the X-Files movie is now a go and will begin shooting in Vancouver this December.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny will be back playing Mulder and Scully, and Chris Carter will be at the helm. Other than that, the studio is keeping hush-hush about the plot, saying only that it is a totally stand alone story and a “supernatural” thriller. Supernatural? Does that mean the duo will be hunting ghosts instead of aliens?

Can Scully and Mulder be returned to their former glory? I’ll be first in line at the box office to find out.
