You better believe it, too!
I want to believe - I REALLY want to believe. Hopefully come this July,
I'll be believing all over the place when the long-awaited X-Files theatrical
release invades my local theater. After an excruciating ten years, the
second chapter in what could very well be a long-lasting film franchise (ala
Star Trek) will prove if there's life yet in Chris Carter's seminal
science-fiction sexy drama of everyone's favorite FBI pair Mulder and Scully.
Keeping in tone with the various reports, fake screenshots, and gobs of
misinformation, the first publicly released trailer for said sequel is
chock-full of...practically nothing. Don't take that to mean its just a
logo over spooky music, but thanks to some ingenious cutting and editing work,
almost nothing is revealed or spoiled during its entire run-time. I
applaud this, as today's most popular trailers have become mini-movies unto
themselves, splicing together the best and most relevant (and typically
action-packed) bits and pieces into one spoiler-filled spot after the next.
The X-Files series has never lent itself very well to action, and heavy drama
usually equals a better experience. That said, I'm thrilled we get to say
meet these characters all over again, and you can bet your alien babies I'll be
there on Day 01.
Enjoy the trailer...because when that familiar tone starts chiming, it's all
good!
Not bad for a spoiler-free bag of chips, wouldn't you say? Let the
guesswork begin, although I wouldn't be surprised if our furry friend Bigfoot
makes a surprise appearance...because stranger things have (and probably will)
happen. Big thanks to IGN.com for hosting the trailer, and in case
streaming video isn't your bag, you'll find a plethora of other formats for your
viewing pleasure right
HERE!
X-Files: I Want To Believe mystifies theaters everywhere this July 25th.
