X-Files 2: I Want To Believe

Teaser shots and bootleg trailers have stormed the net from the upcoming X-Files 2: I Want To Believe.

Way back on the 2nd of November we announced that X-Files 2 was being released (see X-Files 2?). Things have been powering along since then with the film now officially in post-production.

Clearly it is looking as though the relentless appetite from fans for the science-fiction / mystery / thriller TV series hasn't waned since it ended its run in the 90s, with hype and buzz snowballing for the film as the finishing touches are placed on the sequel.

The official film trailer is embedded below:



The scenes of Billy Connolly screaming "it's here!" and digging through snow work well with the dramatic music and fight/chase scenes involving Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson).

It's my guess that Connolly is playing the role of some form of Government psychic enlisted to find either a:

1. Downed alien spacecraft
2. Cavern full of aliens
3. Abandoned military base... full of aliens
