Blazing across the internets today is news that the official title has finally been announced for the upcoming X-Files movie, which most folks have been referring to as simply X-Files 2.
So are you ready?
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Really? That’s the title?
Anyone who reads this site knows I’m not a huge fan of the franchise, but the trailer actually looked pretty good to me. Gotta say though, my first thought when I read that was the title?
Lame.
It’s almost as lame as Quantum of Solace. 
(Thanks, Jon!)

Regarding the top secret title that was just revealed, Chris Carter stated:
“It really does suggest Mulder’s struggle with his faith.”
Presumably that would be his faith in little green men and not God.
Anyway, I guess that image with Mulder standing in front of a poster with that exact phrase makes more sense now.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe opens on July 25th

Well seeing as they aren’t green and not exactly men, have to agree with ‘the greys’
They are on the short side though. That much still applies.
personally I cant wait to hear one of those familiar male momotone voices do the ads,
“coming Friday,”
X Files I WANT TO BELIEVE!
It will be HILARIOUS!
I sure hope its rated R.
And yeah it is kinda funny now that you put it that way Gary.
The title sure conceals its plot…
Is everything on that show a fricken secret. Ghheshs
We X-File fans should be able to tell what’s going on as the trailers develop along. I hope? And if Carter starts a massive viral campaign like the Batman stuff, I’m gonna barf.
I expect the film to be PG-13, but still pushing an R. But I personally dont expect to see an R rating.
My test of a movie title is when you go up to the box office and you ask for a ticket, if the attendant says, HUH??; You know the title is bad. This is when you notice patrons actually retitling the movie for themselves. “Pirates of the Caribbean” just becomes “Pirates” at the box office. A better clue to how good the movie is, is how much of the move is shown in the outakes of the previews. If at the end you feel like you’ve seen the movie it’s probably not worth seeing, least at the theater anyway. Movies like “Cloverfield” could break the mold, so now it might be worth adding previews that show nothing.
Working in a theater I can tell you this isn’t entirely true. Sometimes after saying long drawn out titles all day a few days in a row they just get shortened, normally it has nothing to do with the picture.
One sure fire way to tell if it is good or not is to simply ask if the attendant has seen it. You can normally tell by the way they say yes or no if it is good or not.
Oh man… sorry for getting your hopes up on the trailer. I’d forgotten only a leaked version had been out on YouTube. I was lucky enough to see it at WonderCon and thought it was actually quite good and harkened back to the series.

And for a moment, I was hoping they would bring the Peacocks back.. ‘ick’.
Is that the title of the movie or the studio’s take on the mindset of the serie’s fans?
I still don’t know what to think about this title.
It sounds like a DVD special feature…I think.
