The X Files: I Want to Believe |
In grand The X-Files tradition, the film's storyline is being kept under wraps, known only to top studio brass and the project's principal actors and filmmakers. This much can be revealed: The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show's most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions.

In grand The X-Files tradition, the film's storyline is being kept under wraps, known only to top studio brass and the project's principal actors and filmmakers. This much can be revealed: The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show's most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) in unexpected directions. Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder's pursuits.
Months after shooting had wrapped, Carter remained as circumspect about the story as he was during its development and production. "Mulder and Scully are drawn back into the world of the X-Files by a case," is all he'll add about the plot.
Perhaps more clues...to something....can be found in the film's title. "I Want to Believe" is a familiar phrase for fans of the series; it was the slogan on a poster that Mulder had hanging in his office at the FBI. "It's a natural title," says Chris Carter. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith."
Carter is much more revealing about his goals for the film. "Simply put, we want to scare the pants off of everyone in the audience," he says. While the scale and scope inherent in the medium of film allowed the filmmakers to take the story and characters where the show couldn't go, Carter says THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE also marks a return to the series' roots, when it was the lone beacon on television for fans of thrillers, supernatural tales, and of horror stories. "The film encompasses all the best things people loved about the show. It's scary, creepy, and has a good mystery. With The X-Files, we often scared people by what they didn't show, and we use that device for the movie."
Adds writer-producer Frank Spotnitz: "I think the best part of The X-Files was that it could make you afraid of anything. They didn't tell typical horror stories or adhere to popular genre conventions. And this movie is in that tradition of showing things that you would not see in most scary movies."
Unlike the first The X-Files motion picture, released in 1998, Carter and Spotnitz's story for THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE does not require audiences to understand the series' complex mythology that stretched across its nine seasons on the air. "The first movie was kind of an epic episode of the show, but THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE is a real, stand-alone movie," explains Carter. "If the show hadn't existed, this is a story that still would have found its way to the big screen."

Audrey Burke (Berry) is reeling from the shock of the news that has just been delivered to her door by the local police: her warm and loving husband Brian (David Duchovny), the father of their two young children, has been killed in a random act of violence. Once anchored by the love and comforts of their 11-year marriage, Audrey is now adrift.
Impulsively, she turns to Jerry Sunborne (Del Toro), a down-and-out addict who has been her husband's close friend since childhood.

Jerry is facing a daily battle to stay off drugs, but in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey's son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience.
As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial, their fragile bonds are constantly tested. Working together, however, they discover the strength to move forward.

The longing for destiny is nowhere more acute than in our romantic lives. Who among us has not hoped to stumble by total accident into the woman or man of our dreams? Who has not imagined that perfect connection, the one that feels instantaneous yet promises to last a lifetime? We have all crossed our fingers for that ineffable, magical link to someone else's heart . . . but what if such a wish literally came true?
Return To Me is an enchanted romantic comedy starring Minnie Driver and David Duchovny. David Duchovny stars as a recently widowed architect who is trying to get his life back. Minnie Driver is a waitress working in an Irish-Italian restaurant who has just received a new lease on life through a heart transplant. Drawn together by the playful fates, they must prove that love is made possible by much more than a few fast heartbeats. This sophisticated contemporary fairy tale, directed and co-written by Bonnie Hunt, melds heartache and humor, bittersweet yearning and bewitching romance as it spins a life-affirming story about the struggle to make sense of love, loss and the unexpected.
The setting for this tale is a whimsical Chicago - rooted in offbeat Italian, Irish and Polish traditions, yet tinged with something slightly magical. This is where Bob Rueland (Duchovny) has led a blessedly ordinary life as an architectural engineer and loving husband until one nightmarish night takes the life of his driven zoologist wife Elizabeth (Joely Richardson). Haunted by her memory and still desperately in love, Bob buries himself in work, hoping to complete the project that meant more to Elizabeth than anything else: building an expansive new gorilla habitat for the primates she was working with at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Nearly a year after Elizabeth's death, despite the match-making efforts of his veterinarian friend Dr. Charlie Johnson (David Alan Grier), Bob is still not quite ready to start all over again.
Meanwhile, across town, a waitress who has been waiting her entire life to start all over again has finally gotten her chance. Grace Briggs (Driver) has just received a long-awaited heart transplant that will save her from the medical fate that took her own mother's life while she was still a child. A recluse until now, Grace is exhilarated and frightened by a whole new world in front of her. Grace lives above O'Reilly's Italian restaurant - the best and perhaps the only, Irish-Italian joint in the city, owned by her grandfather. There, amidst the comic mix of boiled cabbage and ravioli, of Sinatra and Crosby, she is judiciously guarded by a colorful coterie of neighbors, relatives and friends. These include her Irish grandfather Marty O'Reilly (Carroll O'Connor), her Italian uncle Angelo Parpadillo (Robert Loggia) and their multi-ethnic, senior citizen's lonely-hearts club including Emmet (Eddie Jones), Wally (William Bronder) and Sophie (Marianne Muellerleile). Also among Grace's guardians are her best friend Megan (Bonnie Hunt), who has the consummate political skills only a mother of five can have, and Megan's proudly proletarian husband, Joe (James Belushi).
Into this weird and wonderful world stumbles Bob, whose brief and random encounter with Grace at O'Reilly's leaves him flummoxed but feeling something for the first time in a long time. Yet even as events and the many denizens of O'Reilly's push Bob and Grace inexorably towards one another, love takes on a whole new meaning as the truth emerges, resulting in a funny and touching tale of hard-won union.
