X Files 2 Movie Tease Leaked

We’re slowly being told what to expect from the new X Files movie that is due to hit cinema screens this summer.
 
The film, which hasn’t been given a name yet, will mark the return of David Duchovny as Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Scully - two FBI agents who investigate the paranormal.

It is being directed by Chris Carter, creator of the series that ran on Fox from 1993 to 2002.

A first look at the trailer – which hasn’t been made public yet - featured lots of snow, running, a large syringe and a helicopter.

It got shown at an awards ceremony in the US on Thursday, but of course some hard core fans took a sneaky film of it... so here it is.

The film will pick up six years after the end of the series.

It's supposed to be a standalone feature removed from the alien mythology of the TV show, and more of a throwback to the show's "monster of the week" episodes in the early days.

Also, some lingering aspects from the series, like whether Scully's child will be a normal kid, will be addressed.
