The X-Files Movie TV Commercials
I’ve been seeing tv commercials for the new The X-Files movie regularly now. Most of them are very ho-hum. It seems like they are heavily relying on the old-time fans to go just for the sake of going.
But on Saturday evening, I saw a commercial that was very Scullycentric. I’ve said before that I don’t trust the XF head honchos to understand Scullycentric storytelling. Many individual episodes, however, are very strong Scully ones. Since this movie is supposed to be stand-alone, perhaps she won’t be shuttled to the side as I would expect in a mytharc continuation.
I’m not saying that she should take over, but for the sake of all of us old-time fans, I’m hoping for a balanced attack—like the ones writer Vince Gilligan used to give us.
And if you happen to be a XF memorabilia collector still, check out Gillian Anderson’s massive script and prop auctions over at eBay.
