X-Files - Believe Again

Let the geeks in all of us start getting excited! We will be seeing Mulder and Scully back together on the big screen this summer.

The trailer for "X-Files: I Want To Believe" was released today- go check it out at www.xfiles.com right now. 

According to an NYCC 08 interview with X-Files creator, Chris Carter, this movie will be a stand-alone story apart from the over arching alien conspiracy of the series. This was actually an original story from 2003, but had to be set aside for several years because of legal reasons. This time around, the writers have more freedom with the story to be more intimate with the relationship between Mulder and Scully and mold ideas from the show into an all new story. The tone will be much more suspenseful and scary and promises to have many twists and turns.

The geek in me is pretty much going crazy with anticipation for this movie. I am a little excited/scared that it will feature a stand alone story. It'll be very interesting what the writers will do with these characters and the story around them. In the interview, the writers mentioned that this movie would be more intimate in nature. The 1998 "X-Files: Fight the Future" was pretty large in scale, packing impressive special effects for the time. Will "I Want To Believe" feature a similar style? Maybe it won't be as large in scale, but hopefully it'll make up for it in story and suspense. Either way, July 25th cannot not get here soon enough.
