The X-Files: I want to believe that he is getting a cut of a director; Chris Carter says it will finally be “the frightening film that I always intend”

X files He has always had his high points with his great performances, unforgettable monsters, UFO conspiracy narration and that incessant hunting for the truth that made Mulder and Scully Pop Culture Pitches.

But when fans talk about the film releases of the franchise, it is usually Fight the future Since 1998 this has obtained the spotlight. The follow-up movie, I want to believe (2008), he did not land with the same strength. It was rather divisive. But now, almost two decades later, creator Chris Carter He is getting a second shot to show fans the version he has always wanted to do.

In a recent episode of Fail Better with David Duchovny, Carter dropped the news that is officially working on cutting a director I want to believe.

“I just had the future of making a cut from a director of I want to believe. I can’t tell you how excited I am.”

Duchovny said: “You took shit for that movie.” Carter has not denied him:

“Oh, great time. I made it too frightening, in practice, and I was told by the foury of Fox, and they wanted a pg-13 film. So we cut it … and [the ratings board] He said “No, it’s not yet a PG-13, you have to cut it even further.”

“I can tell you that you can do more on network television … [the censors] They are more permissive than they are for films. Now I have the opportunity to go back and make the frightening movie that I always intended to do. “

Unlike Fight the futurewho leaned on the mythology of the alien conspiracy of the show, I want to believe It was a mystery more placed on the ground and with the horror station, more monster of the week than the arch of the myth. It looked like a long, cold and desolating episode and that tone launched people.

But listening to Carter describing what he wanted compared to what ended up on the screen sheds light on the atmosphere of the film.

“It is not just a cutting of a director to cut a director. It is really a bit to give life to something that was on the page for me but never arrived on the screen.”

Carter’s comments put the film in a different light, especially for fans who have loved the darkest and most psychological stories of the show. If this new cut still leans on that unnerving horror, it could finally connect with the spectators who hoped for something more intense the first time.

Starting now, Carter has not shared when the director’s cut will fall. If only recently has obtained green light, it could still be a road. But with the film now streaming on Hulu, this could be the perfect time for fans to revisit it, perhaps with a new goal.

He is not often a creator to claim a film almost twenty years later and make him the story they intended to tell. If the version of Carter turns out to be the nightmare he had initially planned? It seems X files In its purest form. I can’t wait to look at him!
