The Rock is starring in the new Race to Witch Mountain movie (an update of the Escape to Witch Mountain movies) — and he believes, or wants to believe, in aliens. You be the judge. At the Race To Witch Mountain press line, we grilled cast members about the existence of aliens. The lovely Carla Gugino walked away from my questions looking at like I was mad (you can't turn away from the truth Carla) so did the director Andy Fickman, but Dwayne Johnson threw us a bone. When we asked if he believed in aliens he replied, "Yeah yeah of course." Click through for more on the Rock's belief in the beyond and pictures from the Con press line. More »

Click to viewIn the nine years The X-Files was on the air, Chris Carter and co. gave us 202 hour-long episodes and a feature film. If you haven't been a diehard fan since the beginning, how are you supposed to catch up on all that before I Want to Believe comes out next week? Take heart, because there are those who share your concerns - even the BBC has an X-Files mythology overview on its website. Below the cut are five other websites that will fill you in on everything Mulder and Scully have been up to since 1993. Well, everything that they want us to know, at least. More »

You may find it hard to be interested in the new X-Files movie, I Want To Believe, but apparently that's nothing compared with the cast's problems. Given the chance to promote the movie in interviews, it seems as if the two stars would rather complain about how crappy it was making it in the first place. More »

At yesterday's X-Files 2 panel at New York Comic-Con, creators Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz were customarily tight-lipped about the movie's storyline. But they did drop a few new hints — and io9 managed to ask them the one question you told us was burning in your minds: have Mulder and Scully been in touch during the past six years, or does the movie see them reunited for the first time since the show? Their answer, plus where Skinner might be, after the jump. More »

At last, the X-Files movie that's coming out in July has a title. It will be called X-Files: I Want to Believe, a reference to the poster Agent Mulder had hanging in his office during most of the series. Director Chris Carter told Yahoo News, "It's a natural title. It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith." This puts an end the weirdest episode in summer movie history, in which a flick slated to come out within months still lacked a freakin title despite the fact that it was in full-bore publicity mode.

Normally, we wouldn't ask, but listen: We kind of need to borrow a million dollars from you. I know, it's awkward and everything, but I promise that we'll pay it back when we can, and you'd not be giving us money, you'd be giving it to the cause of investigative journalism, I promise. After all, who wouldn't pay a million dollars for an inside scoop on the Arizona-based drug-fuelled sexploits of the creator of a TV-turned-movie franchise? Yeah, I thought that'd get your attention. Possibly the greatest "tip" email we've ever received after the jump. More »
