I’m excited about The Dark Knight. I’m eager to watch Iron Man. But this trailer for The X-Files 2 has just put it at the top of my must see summer movie list. I think this trailer confirms exactly what the monster is going to be in this new Mulder and Scully adventure (notice the wagging tail and the clawed faces). If you aren’t a fan of The X-Files, this trailer is cut for you too. The fans in the background are obviously having a freaking meltdown, but it’s just thrilling enough to get anyone, ANYONE in the theater.
Universal, take note. Your Wolf Man movie has some major competition. Plus, who wouldn’t rather see Billy Connelly as a werewolf hunter instead of Hugo Weaving? Pure gold.
I’m a bit out of touch with the filmmaking community in my hometown of Erie, Pa. It’s amazing what moving just 100 miles will do. Anyway, time for a little catch up.
First up is John C. Lyons, who just completed his first feature film titled schism. You can catch up on the production with my In the Lyons Den series. Well, Mr. Lyons is now selling tickets to the Erie premiere of the film. schism will debut at Edinboro University April 17 & 18.
Also worth noting is the production Virgin Pockets by Paul Gorman and the gang at GMD films. They sent me a screener a few months back, which I’ve still yet to sit down with. The film got some good coverage in Billiards Digest (PDF) and thanks to the wonders of the Internet you can watch it through GMD’s VOD service. You can also go the old fashioned route and purchase the DVD.
