First Look at X-Files Movie Trailer: Is Love in the Air?
Straight from Wednesday evening's
X-Files panel at the Paley Festival, we got a first look at a new trailer for the upcoming movie.
Directed by Chris Carter, there are plenty of scenes with
David Duchovny and
Gillian Anderson - and love might even be in the air. In one scene, for example, Mulder says to Scully, "I need you on this [case]." Scully responds, "That's what scares me."
In another scene, a romantic mood finds Mulder with his hand on Scully's face. The trailer concludes with a shot of them walking away from a helicopter together, as a voice-over from Duchovny says, "I want to believe." Check out this guerilla footage:
Shortly after the first screening of the teaser, the fans asked Chris Carter for a second look, and he happily agreed. The crowd that had gone nuts at the first showing reacted even more strongly when they could fully soak up the images a second time around. The film's story seems to begin with a young girl that is taken by something, prompting a massive FBI search effort that takes place in a large snowy field. Interspersed between the images are messages from the show's past about "beliefs" and "truths." Smash to black... then the famous, eerie tones of the theme song filled the air.
A barrage of images then flash across the screen, some dark and scary, and then we see our heroes Mulder and Scully looking older but fabulous. Judging from Scully's reaction to Mulder asking for her help, she's been away from the FBI for a while... but perhaps not away from
him. (The trailer showed a glimpse of a lovey-dovey shot of the pair about to kiss.)
A bonus tidbit comes directly from Carter on the press line: Baby William, whom so many of you asked about,
will be addressed in the movie in some fashion. You heard it here first!
Keep up with us for more from the
X-citing event.
