X-Files Movie Title Revealed


The previously untitled X-Files movie that is scheduled to be in theaters on July 25th will be called The X-Files: I Want to Believe. This is the second film spin-off of the popular paranormal television show that aired for nine seasons.

The title of the film was a slogan on a poster Mulder had hanging in his basement. In a phone interview the director claimed that “It’s a natural title. It’s a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. ‘I Want to Believe.’ It really does suggest Mulder’s struggle with his faith.”

The movie is coming out ten years after the first film and six years after the show ended, and the story has been kept under wraps to prevent plot spoilers from leaking.

Unlike the television series which dealt heavily with the topic of aliens, the film will be a “stand-alone, earth-bound” story, so that it will be easier for newcomers to follow, but not as to disappoint the fans.
