New title for X-Files sequel: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The truth is finally out there about the new X-Files movie title.
The second big-screen spinoff of the paranormal TV adventure will be called The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, told The Associated Press.
Distributor 20th Century Fox signed off on the title.
The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents chasing after aliens and supernatural happenings. "I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster Duchovny's UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Anderson's Dana Scully worked.
"It's a natural title," Carter said in a telephone interview Tuesday during a break from editing the film. "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."

![]() We Are Iron Man !
Ages 38, 34, 42, 57
Holy, moly, people, why not them? A single movie that gathers four fo Hollywood's finest actors, who among them have collected seven Oscar nominations - we're already waiting in line. The ocassion for this titanic team-up is one of those big fat Hollywood superhero movies, albeit one that promises to pulse with inttelligence and sophistication worthy of its tony cast.
Directed by actor-turned Jon Favreau - and due in theaters next May - Iron Man boasts a main character who's a far cry from the usual Marvel Comics mutant teenager or irradiated geek. He's Tony Stark, a playboy billionaire weapons manufacturer who becomes a born-again-do-gooder in high-tech duds after a brush with death forces him to reevalutate his life.
![]() Jodie Foster escapes to Nim's Island
Jodie Foster — she of the Ivy League pedigree, the 42-year-long (and counting!) career, the Oscar statue bookends — is a woman who needs no introduction. The bilingual talent recently spoke with Premiere France — en Français, bien sûr — about her new film, Nim's Island, an adventure comedy with Gerard Butler and Abigail Breslin, plus 'Flora Plum,' telephoto lenses, and whose roles she'd like to swipe.
Most actors tend to make a few family-friendly pictures once their children are old enough to go to the movies. Is this what compelled you to make Nim's Island?
Of course that entered into the decision. This was the first time they could really be with me on set. [In the past] they'd come to shoots to have lunch with me, but they would then have to wait for me in my trailer because I usually had my hands full. But I also liked the role. Up until now, I've always played very dramatic characters who are suffering, fearful and alone. Read More
![]() Harrison Ford is a portrait of rugged individualism
Indiana Jones always finds what he's looking for in isolated, faraway places. The same could be said of Harrison Ford.
The leading man of Star Wars, The Fugitive, Witness and Air Force One— and of course Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, coming May 22 — is happiest in the private 800-acre woodlands around his Wyoming home or soaring over the American landscape in one of his many private aircraft.
But he also sees the pleasure in a simple California day hike. Today, he's tackling the trailways of Temescal Canyon, a public park tucked into the oceanside mountains of the Pacific Palisades just outside Santa Monica.
In a grassy area at the start of the trailhead, the 65-year-old actor hops down with ease after posing for photographs atop a massive tree trunk. He's eager to get into the steep hike, though he jokes: "There'd better be a bar and restaurant at the end."
Emma Watson replaces Scarlett Johansson in Napoleon and Betsy
Emma Watson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II) is attached to star in Napoleon and Betsy, a period drama being written and directed by Benjamin Ross, say The Hollywood Reporter.
Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young, impetuous noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island.
Watson is filling the shoes recently vacated by Scarlett Johansson, who stepped aside as the part skewed younger.
