Latest on the X-Files movie
For those of you who haven't yet seen the trailer (which
was being screened before showings of 'Alien Ressurection') you
can download it (6.1MB) from the 'what's new' section of the official web site -
by all accounts the scenes from the film are quite something.
The title of the film has been under dispute for some
time. The working title was 'Blackwood' which is a move in bridge
where you reveal your hand and show all your cards to your opponents-
although no-one really knows how relevant the title is to the
actual film. After the showing of the trailer the title appeared
to be "Fighting for the Future" but, apparently CC absolutely
hates that as a title and the film's now generally being referred
to as "The X-files: the movie".
The cast list for the film has been confirmed as:
David Duchovny
| Special Agent Fox Mulder |
Gillian Anderson | Special Agent Dana Scully
|
Tom Braidwood | Frohike
|
Dean Haglund | Langly
|
Bruce Harwood | Byers

|
Blythe Danner | Jana Cassidy
|
William B. Davis | Cigarette Smoking Man
|
Jeffery DeMunn | Dr. Ben Bronshweig
|
Martin Landau | Mr. Faber
|
Armin Mueller-Stahl | Dr. Al Kurtzweil
|
John Neville | The Well-Manicured Man
|
Terry O'Quinn | Darius Michaud or Peter Watts
|
The release dates of the film are:
USA
| 19 June 98 |
Germany | 30 July 98
|
Switzerland | 6 August 98
|
Brazil | 7 August 98

*********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!**********
As to the plot of the film security has been so tight
(with scripts being printed on red paper to prevent photocopying)
that it is hard to sort out the fact from the fiction.
The main debate has been about whether Mulder and Scully
will resolve some of that long talked about sexual tension at
some point in the film. Even GA has been quoted as saying: "Mulder
and Scully have continued to get closer and closer as they have
continued to save each others' lives and risk their lives for
each other. That can't help but draw people closer together, and
that's basically what's happened. We've been through so many harrowing
experiences together that there's a trust and respect that just
gets stronger and stronger."- although it's not clear whether
she was referring to the film or just the show in general.....
Meanwhile somebody on the Dark Horizon Web site claimed to have
actually seen an uncut version of the film in which "There
is a scene where Mulder and Scully appear to get intimate. Later
the two remember it differently. Scully thinks it was just a dream,
while Mulder believes it is a memory flashback 'implanted' into
him for malicious purposes." Others claim that Mulder and
Scully are about to kiss when Scully is stung by a killer bee.
Either way the debate continues.......
Another possible plot element is that the film starts
with Mulder going to Scully's in the middle of the night to try
and persuade her not to leave the X-files thus the cliffhanger
at the end of season 5 could be Scully threatening to leave- although
mobody's quite sure why.
I guess we'll all just have to wait and see........
BTW if you have anything to add, let me know....
