The Truth May Still Be Out There

By Michael Bowman • May 2nd, 2008 • 242 Views

For anyone who is a true nerd (like myself) the search for the truth ended on May 19, 2002. That was the series finale for the Fox television series “The X-Files.” The series, covering the search for a shadow conspiracy by FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), produced 9 seasons, one feature film, and at least two video games. The series, which focused on subjects such as Unidentified Flying Objects, aliens, and government cover-ups, caught the attention of a great many fans who were interested in paranormal subjects. It also created real interest in these subjects that went far beyond the show.

But enough about the history of what is arguably one of the greatest television shows to grace the airwaves. That is not what this article is about. This article is about the upcoming release of a new X-Files feature film. Set to release on July 25, 2008, “The X-Files: I Want To Believe”, reunites Duchovny and Anderson, along with series creator Chris Carter, for a new X-Files adventure. The film was written by Chris Carter, and series director Frank Spotnitz, and directed by Carter himself.

Plot details of the new movie are thin, but according to IMDB.com, the film centers around a rash of bizarre murders in rural Virginia. Details about the murders apparently come to the FBI by way of paranormal visions, necessitating the need to reunite Mulder and Scully (who are no longer with the FBI) to investigate the case.

Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files, said he always intended for there to be more feature films based on the show and it looks like he got his wish.

So for fans of the show, it looks like the truth is still out there and the search begins again on July 25.
