"It's a conspiracy wrapped in a plot inside a government agenda."
THE X-FILES ran from 1993-2002 and was a present-day show that followed FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigated paranormal cases and attempted to uncover a vast government conspiracy to hide definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life.
It blended elements of science-fiction, fantasy and horror along with a pacing and style that borrowed from both the world of movies and music video. In 1998, a full-length feature film was released, fitting neatly in between seasons five and six of the tv show.

Season One
In the first season we are introduced to Special Agent Fox Mulder, whose career at the FBI has led him to the "X-Files" and a basement office with no windows. He likes to pursue cases that deal with the paranormal and extraterrestrial, especially the later, as he believes in a large conspiracy by the government to hide the existence of off-worldly aliens.
He's assigned a new partner, Special Agent Dana Scully, a doctor and forensic investigator at the top of her game. She's quite frankly being assigned to Mulder to debunk his claims and provide solid, scientific reasons for the strange things he has been reporting. She feels there is a scientific explanation for everything.

Meet the Basic Cast of Characters
There weren't clear cut forces of good and evil in the X-Files. It was more like those seeking the truth and those who worked to keep it obscured. And frequently it was revealed that not everyone was how they seemed. Here are some of the major characters of the X-Files universe.
- Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) - our ultimate truth seeker, Mulder has made the X-Files the focus of his FBI career.
- Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) - she is a scientist, the "non-believer" assigned to Mulder as his partner to reign him in and debunk his theories.
- Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) - Mulder and Scully's boss.
- Cigarette-Smoking Man (William B. Davis) - this mysterious government agent was so entrenched in conspiracy, he remained unnamed throughout the show, part of the shadowy group known as the Syndicate.
- Agent Alex Krycek (Nick Lea) - originally assigned to Mulder as a partner during a period where Agent Scully had disappeared, Krycek acted as if he was on Mulder's side, only to then reveal himself as one of those working to maintain the cover-up.
- The Lone Gunmen: John Fitzgerald Byers (Bruce Harwood), Melvin Frohike (Tom Braidwood) and Richard 'Ringo' Langly (Dean Haglund) - These men were conspiracy theorists and masters of underground trivia who occasionally did research and provided info for Mulder and Scully.
- X (Stephen Williams) - It was never clear which part of the government this man worked for, but he was providing Mulder with clues up until the character's death at the end of the first season.
- Deep Throat (Jerry Hardin) - this man replaced X as Mulder's source for inside information until this character's death at the end of season three.
- Alien Bounty Hunter (Brian Thompson) - this character mostly appeared as a large man in suit and coat, but was in fact an alien working with the Syndicate as an assassin.
- Special Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick) - brought in after Agent Mulder disappears to be Scully's new partner and assigned the task of finding the missing agent.

- The X-Files is a popular American television series created by Chris Carter. The show first aired on FOX in 1993, and ended after a nine-year run on May 19, 2002. The X-Files was one of the network's first major hits, and its main characters and slogans ("The Truth Is Out There," "Trust No One," "I Want to Believe") became pop culture touchstones, simultaneously tapping into and inspiring a plethora of conspiracy theories, paranoia about the U.S. government, and belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life.

the new X-Files movie trailer!
Mulder and Scully together again....
This trailer was shown at Wondercon 2008 in San Francisco and the actors and director appeared in a panel. The trailer was leaked and I'll do my best to try and keep a version linked here.
The X-Files: I Want To Believe
the second X-files movie
The summer of 2008 will see the return of Mulder and Scully. Learn what's happened to them in past years and see what new adventures await! The movie opens in July.
- Popoholic » Blog Archive » First Shots Of Mulder And Scully In The X-Files 2
- Well, the movie officially started filming in this past December and today we have some hard evidence for you: pictures of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from the set on The X-Files 2!
- X-Files report from WonderCon
- Mulder and Scully show up! Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz, too! And they bring news and footage from X-Files 2!!
- Mulder & Scully Kiss!
- Check out David Duchuvny and Gillian Anderson on the set of the upcoming X-Files sequel in Vancouver yesterday, giving fans something they have been waiting for since the moment Mulder and Scully first made their television debut way back in 1993. Wow, that was a long time ago.
- `X-Files' creator spills film details
- The truth about "The X-Files" sequel, some of it, anyway, is now out there.
- 2008 Paley Festival coverage: 'The X-Files'
- The Paley Festival session on the long-running hit series featured a dozen members of the cast and crew. The overall theme of the evening was that working "The X-Files" was very hard. In terms of news value, the panel was trapped in an "X-Files"-esque netherworld: The TV show is yester-decade's news, while this summer's new "X-Files" movie is of very high interest. Yet creator Chris Carter is naturally unwilling to give any spoilers. The panel moderator -- Variety deputy editor Cynthia Littleton -- is thus charged with the tricky task of either asking about a series that's been endlessly discussed, or asking about a movie that cannot be discussed. Plus, charismatic leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson did not attend. So, again, tricky.
- `X-Files' movie title is out there: `I Want to Believe'
- The truth is finally out there about the new "X-Files" movie title.
- The Nerdotic » Blog Archive » New York Comic Con - Day 1
- The panel began with a showing of the X-Files II trailer. If you missed out, here is a brief description: "snow, mystery, crowds of villagers, more snow, more mystery, Scully and Mulder together, snow and mystery". You will find the trailer online in a few weeks and confirm my writing.
- INT: David Duchovny
- David Duchovny is not an easy interview. That's not to say he's a difficult or quiet actor in a Tommy Lee Jones kind of way. But he is one of the smartest people I've ever interviewed.
