The stars of the X-Files franchise, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovney showed up to the 2008 ComicCon convention. Well according to they got a sneak peak of X-Files 2, here is what they say for all you X-Files fans, "This was the first time in the entire run of the convention where the hall seemed to fill up. There were hundreds of people standing on the sides of the hall and an electric buzz going up and down the room as the SHUTTER people left and the few minutes break in-between the two started up.
Then… the trailer.
In a throwback to Howard Hawks’ THE THING (my assumption) a group of FBI agents walk, in a line, on snowy ice. One calls out, “Hold the line, gentlemen! Look left, look right! Hold the line!”
Out in front is a white-haired Billy Connolly muttering to himself, looking very concerned. “It’s here…”
We see dark shoes pushing through the snow and a pan up shows us our first look at Fox Mulder in half a decade. He looks the same.
A woman (I think it might be Scully... maybe Amanda Peet... I didn’t get a clear look at her… she had on one of those fuzzy policewoman’s hats) yells out to the group, “Give him room!”
Connolly slows and then cries out, “It’s here!!!” and the trailer cuts to a woman being dragged across ice at night. Cut to Gillian Anderson turns into frame, red hair flying (getting a loud cheer from the audience). There are helicopters hovering above the ice patch, watching the people below as Connolly races forward to a certain spot.
All this is intercut with sequences from throughout the movie… autopsy scenes (wouldn’t be X-Files without it, right?), Mulder driving and getting hit on his side of the car, Mulder running, Billy Connolly seeming to convulse, blood coming from his eyes, more running, a pissed off looking bald guy with fresh scratch marks on his face and then the FBI on the ice clearing away a spot, all looking down. Then it fades out and JULY 25TH, 2008 fades in."
We Say, if you are a fan of The X-Files-go see it, and if you are NOT a fan of the X-Files-Gillian Anderson is looking mighty fine so maybe we will check it out? yes? no?
