The first trailer for X-Files: I Want to Believe has hit the interweb and it’s as full of all the ambiguity and befuddledness that Mulder and Scully are used to giving their confused audiences. What’s the film about? We don’t really know. But we do know that Billy Connolly seems to have a bigger part than whatever creature/alien/mutant/itinerant’s existence Mulder must convince Sceptic Scully of.
What we do know is that it’s great to see two of Television’s greatest characters back in duffel-coats and pointing flashlights at shadows. And the stand-alone plot will make for a nice breather from the bloated beast that the show’s ongoing alien conspiracy eventually became.
Rumours suggest that ‘I Want to Believe’ is about werewolves, but what do we think? Judging from the trailer, the big bad could be Frosty the Snowman or Jack Frost, but our money’s on the Anti-Santy. Most say that the existence of the Anti-Santy is an urban myth, but I bet Fox Mulder knows better.

One final thought; how bad is that title? It sounds like a mantra for some self-help class. Does anyone out there think it’s good? Let us know below. We would have gone with The X-Files: I Want to See Aliens or The X-Files 2: Spooky Shit. Or The X-Files: What Have We Been Doing For the Last 10 Years?
