Cool Pics Kenny, Agent Scully looks great in them. Really looking forward to the movie.

Agent Scully has always, and will always look good.  :ohbaby

Awesome title.  I just about fainted when I read it because I remember see the picture of Mulder in this thread standing in front of the poster a while back and thinking "That would make a cool title".  Sweet...a bit of that latent psychic ability showin itself.

X-Files's Duchovny Gets Back

David Duchovny, who reprises his most famous role in the upcoming The X-Files: I Want to Believe, told reporters that the sequel movie will return the franchise to its roots.

Speaking during a break in filming on the movie's set in Vancouver, Canada, last February, Duchovny said: "The themes are the same of what the show always was. The themes are about belief and faith and about the relationship between Mulder and Scully and how that's developed over the past four or five years the show's been off the air." (It's actually six.)

Duchovny again plays Fox Mulder, the former paranormal investigator and FBI agent, who is now a fugitive living on his own in a ramshackle house in the woods outside Washington, D.C. His former partner, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), has also moved on, "as if they've been living, you know, as we've all been living," Duchovny said. "They've not been stuck in time. I don't know if [series creator and director] Chris [Carter] mentioned that. But, you know, they've moved on in some fictional realm just as we all have. And yet their issues remain the same."

SCI FI Wire was among a group of reporters that observed filming on the sequel last winter, which offered a glimpse at a few sets (including Mulder's house) and a new look for Mulder, at least early in the movie.

Carter, a bit older but still the same former surfer, is dressed in a navy down vest and jeans and chatted informally with reporters in the craft services tent, where his black standard poodle watched intently as he munched on a cookie.

"This is more of a story we would have told in season three or four" of the series, Carter observed.

For his part, Duchovny said that he was excited to return to the franchise. "I was very excited to do it, and then as the date approached nearer, I started to wonder if I needed to work more, to kind of get back into that," he said. The challenge, he added, "was how to bring what I've learned in the last four or five years into this box." The X-Files: I Want to Believe opens July 25. --Patrick Lee, News Editor

Ya know after the first movie I kinda lost touch with the series.  Where exactly are Mulder and Scully?  Where do they stand?  Is there anywhere to get a brief synopsis?

[Locutus]

There was a clone. Or not. There was a baby. Or not. Smoking Man died. Probably.

They pretty much made it up as they went along, and it really lost its momentum after the fifth season. Mulder left, his sister came back, but it was a clone, some guy with a big jaw was an alien bounty hunter, Rat Boy lost an arm, the Black Oil went to Russia - lots of "stuff" happened, but none of it made any sort of narrative sense.

You are probably better off just not bothering and watching the film cold.

[Darth Gaos]

LOL....fair enough....sounds like it.

[Geekyfanboy]

I 100% disagree with Locutus... I enjoyed every episode of the X-Files and think everyone should judge that series for itself.

[Locutus]

Heh. Well, I didn't say it wasn't enjoyable. I watched the show. The interplay between characters was generally interesting, the special effects were cool, and the monster of the week episodes were always fun. I just wish the denouement was more satisfying.

I've mentioned elsewhere that they did not create the show to have any sort of arc, but that it just started happening so they tried to develop one within the run of the show. It worked for a while, very well, and culminated for me with the first film. Then the "mythology" just started to fall apart. It picked back up when the black oil was found in Serbia(?) and Rat Boy came back. I also liked the spaceship, Scully's baby, and the Mulder clone. But Kenny, you have to admit, the end of the show left quote a bit lacking and did not tie up nearly enough to make the viewing investment worth it.

I will say I loved the Lone Gunman series and the X-Files episode "Jump the Shark" was a fitting send off for them. I also loved Millennium, although I thought that ended poorly as well, and appreciated that the brought the Lance Henriksen character on for the turn of the century episode.

All that said, I will see the new X-Files film -Hope Springs Eternal.
