Yes folks, there is a new X-Files movie coming out in July. Its called I Want To Believe and to be honest, it’s an apt title.
I want to believe it will be a good movie – but given how disappointing that first X-Files film was and the sad way the TV series petered out, I’m less than optimistic. The first four television seasons were regular viewing in our home and I loved the whole conspiracy/alien/geek angle of the show (not to mention the excellent music and cinematography).
But then it all went wrong. The series really should have ended after five years but it kept going and kept losing direction. In a lot of ways. I’m surprised the original stars have come back, especially Gillian Anderson who has established herself with some really good roles (onstage, on film with The House of Mirth and on TV with Bleak House).
Still, there’s always hope that Chris Carter, the show’s creator, has a few tricks left up his sleeve. No doubt many old X-Philes are awaiting the trailer and saying – I want to believe too.
