The X-Files: Review

Demon-haunted world: Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny

12 photos

Before there were scary basements and flashlights with which to poke around them, foolhardy cavemen were exploring spooky caverns with torches, and no good came of it. Caveat X-philes: That's probably the biggest revelation in the X-Files feature, which is caught in the irreconcilable bind of needing to show new and spectacular things without demystifying the shadow conspiracy to abet and cover up alien colonization of Earth that lurks perpetually in the show's background.

The X-Files: TV Guide News

New X-Files Movie Title Announced! | Movie News | 4/16/2008
TVGuide.com has received confirmation from Fox that the second big-screen installment of The X-Files movie franchise finally has a title. Drum roll, please — the movie has been dubbed The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Fans of the show may remember that our favorite brooding FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) had a poster on his office wall that read, "I Want to Believe." "Believing" was a common theme in the nine-year TV series, as well as in the first feature film, The X-Files: Fight the Future.Of course, this very vague title will only make fans more ravenous for details about the top-secret plot. What do Mulder and Scully want to believe in this time, since it was confirmed that the movie has nothing to do with aliens and conspiracies? What's your guess? — Erin FoxRead about the X-Files event the at Paley fest. read more
X-Files at Paley: Your Burning Questions Answered, and Much More! | Movie News | 3/28/2008
"X-Philes" lined up several hours early at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood to snag the best seats for the Paley Television Festival's retrospective of Fox's hit show. I teamed up with Lisa Angelo from X Files News to snag some awesome pictures (scroll down to see the shots) of the cast and crew, and to make sure we could answer as many of the fans' burning questions as possible. True to form, Chris Carter and company kept the film's highly anticipated plotline to themselves. However, they did show the new movie trailer (not once, but twice) to excited fans. Let's break the evening down:Who was there: Rather, who was missing!? David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson did not attend the event (boo). But to the delight of many fans, Mitch Pileggi (aka Walter Skinner), Nicholas Lea (Alex Krycek) and Dean Haglund (Langly) were present and very happy to be there. Several writers and producers also joined the panel, including series creator Chris Carter, exec producers Frank Spotnitz... read more
X-FIles at the Paley Festival: The Scoop Is Out There | Movie News | 3/27/2008
It's Wednesday evening and a long line has already formed outside the famous ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood — each person waiting with bated breath to hear which cast members would appear alongside creator Chris Carter and exec producer Frank Spotnitz at the X Files retrospective at the Paley Television Festival.Loud squeals arose from the front of the crowd when I revealed that Nicholas Lea (aka Krychek), Mitch Pileggi (Skinner) and Dean Haglund (Langly) would join director Rob Bowman, David Nutter and writer/producers Howard Gordon (now of 24), Steven Maeda and Paul Rabwin. For true fans of the nine-season Fox show, this lineup is a dream team. The only missing persons are their captains, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. More on their absences later.... If there is any more breaking news, TVGuide.com will post it as soon as possible.

Chris Carter: X-Files 2 Is a Stand-alone Film | Today's News: Our Take | 1/17/2008
Apparently, the truth is still out there. Which would explain why The X-Files will be back out there July 25, when the second movie version of the series hits theaters. Plot details are more closely guarded than an alien autopsy, but creator Chris Carter does have a few clues to offer those eager X-Files fans who have been waiting for more since the Fox show ended in 2002. "This is really a continuation of the series, imagining how the characters' lives have evolved," explains Carter, who cowrote and is directing the movie. "It's a stand-alone story that owes everything to the series, but not the mythology of the series. What we'll be dealing with is government-based as far as the conspiracy goes, but expect this not to be a revisitation [of the show's convoluted conspiracy]."FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) will still be at the center of the story, and Studio 60's Amanda Peet and rapper Xzibit have been added to the cast as fellow agents.... read more
X-Files 2 Update, Meryl as Julia Child, More Movie News | Today's News: Our Take | 11/1/2007
The second X-Files movie is really, truly happening. 20th Century Fox has even blocked off July 25, 2008, as the flick's release date. Natch, plot deets are being kept hush-hush, but the pic is said to be a stand-alone thriller (Yay! No mythology!) that will further Mulder and Scully's relationship. I've got goosebumps already.... In other movie news, Meryl Streep has signed on to play Julia Child in Julie and Julia, a Nora Ephron comedy in which a disgruntled temp (Amy Adams) spends a year trying to whip up every recipe in the master's cookbook.... Teeth, the indie buzz-builder about a high school student with a toothed vagina, has had its release moved to February 2008. — Ben Katner read more
