io9 announcement: “The R-Rated Director’s Cut of ‘The X-Files’ Movie Has a Title and Release Date”
Non-clickbait title: The X-Files: “I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn” coming August 14 on Hulu and Disney+. As previously announced, an R-rated cut reworked by Chris Carter.
Spoiler: this means “Doctor Frankenstein” in Russian. A reference to the plot and perhaps to what Carter did, resurrecting an 18-year-old movie with discarded parts.
Experience the brand new, never-before-seen R-rated Chris Carter Director’s Cut, faithfully restoring the filmmaker’s original vision. When a group of women are mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files™. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere… and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.
How different will it be? Will it make use of images in the original trailer that were cut from the final release? Will this get a physical release? Will this be the last new material we will see of Mulder and Scully?
