Wtf: Hollywood Going Green?!
3 December 2008 2:21 PM, PST | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
I was catching up on my DVD watching this week, and I was in the middle of watching the special features to The X-Files: I Want to Believe when I found myself in church. Well, I wasn’t really in church, but there was definitely some preaching going on. Amid some really nifty ...

Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 12/02
2 December 2008 9:15 AM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Samuel Fuller's follow-up to The Big Red One was shelved by Paramount Pictures before its scheduled release in 1982 because of fears that its premise -- a white dog has been trained to attack black people -- would stir up more controversy than box office. Fuller was understandably outraged; in his autobiography, A Third Face, he wrote: "The studio has used me as a scapegoat for their lack of determination and courage." The film, co-written by Curtis Hanson (La Confidential), with a score by the legendary Ennio Morricone, later received acclaim when it was released in Europe but never received a home video release in the Us and has rarely been seen here. Kristy McNichol plays an actress who adopts the dog; Paul Winfield is as an anthropologist who tries to reverse the training. The Criterion Collection DVD includes a featurette with Hanson, producer Jon Davison, and Fuller's widow,

'X-Files' Producer Blames 'Dark Knight' for Poor Performance
2 December 2008 7:03 AM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Silly us X-Files fans trying to rationalize why The X-Files: I Want to Believe crashed and burned so badly this summer. It was too thoughtful! Too character-driven! Too focused on giving fans emotional closure, and not enough on slam-bang summer excitement! Long-time franchise producer Frank Spotnitz has a much easier and quicker answer: It was The Dark Knight's fault.
His theory goes thus: The X-Files opened a week after The Dark Knight broke all sorts of records and began its domination of the summer box office. What's more, the dark and brooding film was similar in tone to the caped juggernaut, and not the sort of counterprogramming that might nonetheless have had a chance in its wake. And so you get $21 million domestic.
Look, I'm probably as big a fan of I Want to Believe as you'll find around these parts; for fans of the show it was a lovely,

For those that read my recent Blu-ray review you know I am not too keen on this flick the second time around and Sara really seems to loathe it in her DVD review. So, should you buy it? If you like long films that render themselves boring by the time you see it a second time then by all means step up to the plate.

One More Round for Mulder and Scully?
29 November 2008 11:00 PM, PST | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
Few thuds at the box office have seemed resounding this year than The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Sure, it's been nearly a decade since the show left the air, but the sequel made $130 million less around the world than its predecessor ($67 million) and made $10 million less in the United States during its entire run than the first X-Files movie made in its opening weekend.
Having said that, the movie made money internationally, and now that the DVD is coming out on Tuesday, it may not have been the big disaster we thought, although audiences sure didn't clamor for it in the U.S. when it was in theaters.
So logically, there's talk of another movie. Writer-producer Frank Spotnitz told MovieWeb where the series would have to go if given another chandce. "If we were to make one more feature," said Spotnitz, "I think we would definitely have to deal with alien colonization.

More X-Files 3 Rumblings
29 November 2008 12:17 PM, PST | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news
Despite disappointing reactions from audiences and critics, Frank Spotnitz, producer and writer of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, tells Bloody Disgusting that there very well could be more X-Files flicks in the future. "The studio has not indicated another one yet, but there certainly is an audience for it. I think what happened this past summer was a function of bad luck and bad timing with the release. These movies cost a lot of money, not just to make but to market them as well. When the studio looks at the sales of the DVD that’s when they will really decide to see if its worth risking. There is still a lot of love with 20th Century Fox, as well as with the fans." Spotnitz goes on to say the potential third flick would likely include little green men: "If we were to do one more movie, I

Frank Spotnitz explains how they were pretty disappointed with the box officie numbers when X-Files hit theaters this past July. "We were all a bit disappointed, we had some indication that we were in for a rough time when The Dark Knight started to become the phenomenon that it is, and breaking records. The Dark Knight is a history making film at the box office, and we came out with our little dark film a week after. It was disappointing to be sure. But the film made something like 20 million domestically and close to 50 million overseas."

Great International Poster for Dominic Sena's Whiteout
21 November 2008 11:08 AM, PST | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news
Warner Brothers recently released an international poster for Whiteout, a freezing cold comic book adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale that has been delayed for quite a while. Whiteout is based on Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber's graphic novel that Oni Press published in 1998. It was first announced early last year and was entirely shot and in the can by May of 2007. Since then, Warner Brothers has kept delaying it, pushing its release all the way to September of 2009. I'm not sure if we'll ever get to see it, but we at least have a fairly awesome poster to hold us over for another year. This reminds me a lot of the poster for The X-Files: I Want to Believe - but this time I actually want to see this movie. Take a look! Those of us lucky enough to attend Warner Brothers' presentation at Comic-Con in 2007 were treated ...

The X Files: I Want To Believe (DVD Review)
21 November 2008 9:59 AM, PST | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
Was it really 15 years ago that I was at the Jackson Hole burger restaurant on Third Avenue, having lunch with Fango managing editor Michael Gingold and talking about this new show on Fox called The X Files? I remember telling Mike how this series was unlike anything on television, an attempt to do true, go-for-the-throat horror whose two unknown leads managed to draw viewers in while increasing the sense of spooky realism.
By the end of that lunch, Mike had asked me to do an episode guide for the first season (The first of eight—Fango decided not to cover the last season), thus starting the relationship I have had with the magazine to this very day. And now, six years after Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny walked away from the FBI and the mess of monsters, paranormal powers and conspiracies the series had become, I find myself sitting in

'X-Files 3' to Deal With Alien Colonization
18 November 2008 1:43 AM, PST | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
If another "The X-Files" movie was to be made, it will most likely see the return of the aliens to the sci-fi film. Talking to MovieWeb in the promotional effort for "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" DVD version, writer/producer Frank Spotnitz states, "Yeah. I mean, if we were to make one more feature, I think we would definitely have to deal with alien colonization."
He also hints that the third movie may be the last of the series. "I would think so," he notes when asked whether "The X-Files 3" would be the final closure film. "It certainly would be designed to be the period on the sentence." Meanwhile, on the possible date the movie will come out, Spotnitz suggests late 2012 to be one of the potential release dates.
"There's a date that looms very important in X-Files mythology, which is December 2012. I think after the DVD comes out,
