'The X-Files' Reboot Trailer Teases 'Small Problem' For Mulder And Scully; Watch The Two-Part Promo Video
The truth is still out there after 14 years. A two-part trailer for "The X-Files" reboot premiered during "Gotham" and "Minority Report" on Fox Monday night, which showed what fans can expect from Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) when the show returns.
"In 2002, the investigation ceased, but my personal obsession did not, " Mulder says as he's shown walking out of a house towards a helicopter in the first half of the trailer. He adds that their work is the key to everything, but he can't do it alone.
The first part of the trailer comes to a close with Scully receiving a call on her cell phone from Mulder. She appears surprised when she sees the name and picks up the phone. "Yeah?" she asks and Mulder says "I'm here."
Part two of the trailer was revealed during "Minority Report," on Monday night. "They can police us, spy on us, tell us that makes us safer, but we've never been in more danger," Mulder says in the video. Explosions, drone planes, messages on the backs of car windows are all shown, as Mulder confirms to Scully he knows what he's doing even though it seems dangerous.
The promo came to close with the return of the cigarette-smoking man, who was Mulder and Scully's source back in the old series. He tells them they have a "small problem" and the trailer ends.
Fox will premiere the first episode, "My Struggle" at New York Comic-Con on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET, on the Main Stage of the Javits Center to all in attendance. After the episode is shown, there will be a Q&A with executive producer Chris Carter and Duchovny.
In the opening episode, Mulder and Scully will take on a case of a possible alien abductee. As for the rest of the episodes, Fox said the reboot will have a mixture of stand-alone investigative episodes and ones that touch on the mythology shown in past seasons of the sci-fi show.
