"X-Philes" Turn Out in Record Numbers for Premiere

The fans want to believe: that the new installment of The X-Files movie franchise will exceed their expectations. After all, it's been six years since we last saw Mulder and Scully. Why have we missed them so? In my humble opinion, it's all about rich, layered storytelling and the incredible chemistry between stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

I've been covering the movie for a year now, so I knew the premiere would be huge for the fans, but Fox told TVGuide.com today that some "X-Philes" have traveled from as far away as Sweden to camp out at the Mann Chinese Theater to secure a good spot for the Fan Press Conference with Duchovny, Anderson and the filmmakers.

Stay tuned for my party blog about the movie premiere and video interviews from the red carpet! Now excuse me while I have to go pick out the right alien-implant accessories for tonight.

Check out some of the fans in line at Big Light Productions, the website of Frank Spotnitz, the film's writer and producer. - Erin Fox
