Is X-Files: I Want to Believe the Next Gone With the Wind?

According to the writer oft the new X-Files movie called X-Files: I Want to Believe, the story revolves around the love interest between the series’ two main characters Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. “The emotional story of Mulder and Scully is really the heart of the movie…it’s about their love story,” said Frank Spotnitz in a recent article in the TV Guide.
Hitting the theatres July 25, 2008, only time will tell if there are still enough X-Files fans to make this movie a hit. According to a recent interview with TVGuide.com, X-Files creator Chris Carter claims this shouldn’t be a problem. “I think the reason we made the movies was because we felt that enthusiasm from the fan base. That being said, I think for this movie to be successful as Fox would like, we need to make it a movie that would appeal beyond our fan base, to a broader base, and even to a group of people who didn’t watch the X-Files before.”
This is an interesting tact for the new film edition of the hit television show. I loved the X-Files back in the day and I’m excited to see the new one. I had not heard anything about it until I saw a preview in the movie theatres the other day and it looked good. It definitely looks like something worth checking out in the theatres. Who knows, maybe it will top Gone with the Wind as the most romantic movie. I don’t care, just as long as they have plenty of gut-wrenching plots twists and some crazy aliens.
