The “X-Files” Movie Sequel Has A Release Date & Title
“The X-Files: I Want to Believe” is the second movie based on the the popular cult TV series, after the original 1998 film hit adaptation, “The X-Files: Fight the Future”.
The sequel is being directed by the television show’s creator Chris Carter and is also written by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz. “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” is due to be released July 25th, 2008.
The movie will not deal with aliens or the intricate mythology about interaction between humans and extraterrestrials that the show built up over the years, creator Carter said to CNN. Instead, it casts Mulder and Scully into a stand-alone, earth-bound story aimed at both serious “X-Files” fans and newcomers.
A BIT OF TRIVIA:
The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents chasing after aliens and supernatural happenings. “I Want to Believe” was the slogan on a poster Duchovny’s UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Anderson’s Dana Scully worked.
