Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Didn't see a thread on the new x-files flick so thought I would start one.

The trailer just came out on http://media.movies.ign.com/media/379/379767/vids_1.html

Apparently its gonna be a stand-alone story not involving the main storyline over the course of the series. It looks like it could be entertaining. And after such a long time I am anticipating seeing the x-files again.  :smoking:

I'm a huge X-Files fan! Can't wait to see this! I just watched all the shows from start to finish so it pretty fresh in my mind.

Wish Mudler and Scully could stop looking so goddamned old right about now! It's depressing :l

Fortunately it's stand alone. There's what...200 people in the world who actually still renmember/ever had a clue in 1st place about WTF happened during last 4 seasons of the series.

I've always been a fan of The X-Files but I hope this film is better than the first film they did.

P.S. I wish I would have waited to go see this film instead of wasting my time at Indy 4.   :hihi:

I can't wait for this movie!

What's everyone's favorite episode(s)?

My all time favorite would probably have to be "Home" from season 4, followed by "Dreamland I & II" from season 6.

They better have sex in this movie... Duchovny must have the worst case of blue balls out there. :hihi:

Home is one sick ass episode!!!
I also like the one with "Cher" in it! The great mutanto! dont remember names though
hell, all classic horror epidodes in the X-Files rocks!

Is this going to be another movie for the Theaters or a new series for T.V.?
The X-files was really cool. I actually wrote a Twilight Zone story about David Ducovy meeting John Lennon in Central Park....... :hihi:

Meet David??.a famous actor in the nineties who portrayed a character on a hit series called X-files. A show about conspiracy theories of the FBI covering up the fact that there are aliens present on our planet. He stumbles?.he falls into his deep nightmare of know one believing his convictions and is further questioned by an appointed partner Scully.
Now after about nine years of his hard work on the series David decides he wants to move on. He breaks his contract and is only required to do a few more episodes. The series ends. David is now living a quite life with his wife in NY refraining from his public career for awhile. But something odd is about to change that for David.

One night David tells his wife he's going for a walk in Central Park and that he'll be back in an half an hour. He begins his walk in the park following a path that leads to a memorial place for the late pop singer John Lennon. He approaches the sight and notices there are flowers and graffiti from certain songs of the famous group he was in. He stops and looks around. He recalls his youth. And starts humming "A day in the Life"??..all of a sudden a man appears from behind him and says "You know Liverpool has a place called Strawberry fields too." David turns around and faces a man who's about in his sixties?..
"Good evening sir?said David" The man replied yes indeed. It's a splendid night for a walk. Have you've ever been to Penny Lane? Oh my??I'm late?..I have to go. Enjoy your night chap???and the man walks off into the night.

Now David starts back towards his house but comes to a complete stop. He feels a sudden chill. As if he just met someone he knew for a long time. He sits on a park bench. All of a sudden he feels like he just did an episode on the x-files. He can hear the director saying: Now David?.in this scene a man with an English accent will approach you and have a brief conversation with you. You get a glimpse of his face but are not sure how to place the face. But you know this man from somewhere???.David gets up??and he takes one step and whispers into the wind??"I just met John Lennon".

The strangest things may happen to anyone in any life time. Remember to keep a small window of belief open??for beyond that window lays the mysteries of ?.the Twilight Zone...

New X-Files film has its premiere (http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7522000/7522875.stm)

The new X-Files film has had its world premiere in Hollywood six years after the TV series finished.

The storyline surrounding I Want to Believe has been a closely guarded secret since filming finished in March.

David Duchovny, who plays Fox Mulder, says fans will find the plot familiar: "It concentrates more on Mulder and Scully's relationship."

The X-Files series ran between 1993 and 2002, with the first feature film, Fight The Future, released in 1998.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson filmed I Want To Believe in Vancouver, Canada, last Christmas.

A trailer for the movie shows their two characters, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, looking for a body frozen in a lake with dozens of other FBI agents.

Duchovny, 47, says the relationship between the pair remains tense sexually.

"The relationship of the love story between Mulder and Scully is interwoven with this thriller," he said.

"It ties into the characters as part of the mythology and my character as a believer and Gillian's character as a sceptic and we butt heads in the way we always have."

During filming, plot details for the new movie were kept under such tight wraps that, for a while, even David Duchovny didn't have a copy of the script.

But according to director, Chris Carter, it didn't affect the on screen chemistry between the two main characters.

He said: "It's always magical to see them, because it's almost as if time stops for them.

"When they look at each other, they share something that only they know. It's like they share a secret.

"There's a true warmth between them and we've all had our difficulties and we've all had our problems and it is a family. It can be a dysfunctional family.

"When I see them come back together it's always the same chemistry as Mulder and Scully."

Production problems

The film was due to be made after the TV series ended in 2001 but Chris Carter says it took a lot longer than expected.

"We came up with the story and they said great and we negotiated everybody's contracts and all was working, then all of a sudden it came to a grinding halt, because there were business problems with the television show and contracts going backwards," he said.

"That ended up taking years to resolve. That's simply why we are doing it now."

Since the end of the ninth series, David Duchovny's worked on another television series, Californication, while Gillian Anderson has appeared in Oscar-winning film, The Last King of Scotland.

Anderson says the years went by quickly, but the timing for a new X-Files movie was right.

She said: "Perhaps any earlier wouldn't have been the right time and it really felt like a reunion."

David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and Chris Carter say they're all up for making a third instalment of The X-Files but the plans remain up in the air depending on the success of I Want To Believe.

The end of the movie has been left open just in case.

David Duchovny says the movie provides X-Files fans with a new case to get their teeth into.

He said: "I think that the closure at the end of the ninth year, I don't remember what it was, but it felt like an end.

"I knew we were ending the show so there was an end, but this is like a reinvigoration of my character and I think of the relationship between us."

I would really like to go see the movie this weekend.  :)

Could never really get into the X Files. Maybe you have to get hooked? Saw a few here and there, never made much sense....

I watched it sometimes when it aired and liked it alot but I really got into the show when I worked graveyard a few years back. On my days off I could'nt sleep at night and TNT would show reruns at midnight-4am. I watched it and liked it. I'm gonna go see the movie tonight. Hopefully its good.  :smoking:

I was really hoping this movie would be good. I wanted it to be good. I was dissappointed. I want to believe is a sub-par film. There are parts I liked about it. But the movie lacked suspense. The storyline was decent and the acting was good but as I said it lacked the suspense this storyline deserved.  :smoking:

The movie's supposed to make 10 million this weekend, after making 4 million on Friday  :(

They dumped it after dark knight. The ad campaign was almost non-existant. The pics they released were bland. And they didnt give any tidbits to fans. It sucks it bombed because this will be the last of the x-files. Even though the film was sub-par, I would still like too see more x-files. The potential is there. Too bad 20th century fox just basiclly dumped the film. They should have put it out in the fall or spring where the potential to make more money is there. It was never going to be a blockbuster but it could have been a success released at a different time. Too much competition to put it out now.  :smoking:

Yeah, I agree. The promotion was crap, so it flew under the radar for most movie goers. I was looking forward to them making a third one, even though I havent seen this one yet.

Pretty sub-par, very much lacking in suspense.  Was there suppose to be sexual tension, they bickered like an old married couple.  Xzibit wasn't even that bad ass.  And what the fuck happen to the kid?  About the only character I cared about.  I didn't even care when the one lady died, seemed kind of pointless, didn't seem like any of the characters really gave a flying fuck either--lol

And the previews, do we really need another SAW movie?

And I need to ask a question. 

If your a gay guy married to another gay guy, why would you want his head on a woman's body?  Did that make any sense to anybody?  Wasn't he was suppose to be dying of lung cancer, not wanting a sex change.  Wasn't that the connection to the priest, not that the sexual abuse wasn't enough.

I just wanted the fuck out of that movie--lol

On the other hand, the person I was with is a die hard fan and she loved the whole thing.

Back up to the girl's car wreck.  The cop thought she just roamed off right?  Didn't notice the whole passenger side of the car should have been a wreck?  Didn't notice glass inside the car from the window being punched in?  Well, why would he have noticed that?  Because it was just fucking stupid cause there was no point in punching in the window when he could have just opened the damn door.  I swear the writer forgot what he wrote about the wreck--lol.

What was the point of replacing the guy's arm in the begining?  He had a few scratches on his hand!  I assume they replaced the arm cause they showed the two arms but then later they showed the woman's head but why was it detached from the body?  And why was it in that bag when they put all the other body parts in the dirty glass area--lol.

Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention.

Spoilers


I think the idea was to transfer his head to different bodies till they were able to bring a cure to his body. At least thats what it seemed like. I was confused until scully found that shit about the dogs having their heads cut off and than transfered to a new body and living for two weeks. I was under the impression that the guy had a rare blood type and they were harvesting parts to keep him alive until they could fully cure him.

I didn't really find huge plot holes. Or a real problem with the storyline. I just thought it lacked the suspense it deserved. I would rate the film 2.5 out 5 stars. A mediocre film because I did enjoy aspects of it.

And the door thing..it could have been locked so the dude punches it in and than leaves it open to make it look like she walked away. One could assume the glass was broken somehow during the wreck.  :smoking:

Oh, have his head live for two weeks on another body.  lol, good thing cause that big guy head was not going to look good on that little chicks body.

You know if you get out of the car and notice there is someone hiding just outside the garage door, don't grab a little garden tool to defend yourself.  Get your ass back in the car, lock the door and drop the fucker into gear.  Better yet your an FBI agent, pull out your fucking gun!  That chick was not Miss Congenitality.

I hope someone will add a **Spoilers Alert** to the title of this thread now.

Thank you High_times for your warning.  :)

Hey once the movie comes out you should know.

And another thing, if your going to have a big dog barking at the window at least give it the ability to come through the window when your getting your ass beat in the yard.  Let the bad guy shoot the heroic dog, at least give you a reason to hate him.

And the days of Russians being the bad guys are long gone, give me some wacko from the middle east if you want to scare me.  Really, you'd think if he had the resources for all that medical shit he'd had better teeth.

I live in the city, we are loaded with Hummers and SUV's.  Like you need them here but out there in the country, in mountains of snow, the only folks with SUV's are the FBI.  For a minute there I thought it was the tornado chasers, remember Twister?

I'm starting to rant--lol
