Phil:

Don’t feel gullible. I would have fallen for this too.

Julianne Moore’s worked with David Duchovny before. It’s been awhile since an X-Files movie (maybe because they couldn’t get a key actor – perhaps Gillian Anderson – to sign on). And, as the article mentioned, Moore replaced another famous redhead in the Hannibal franchise.

The whole point of an April Fool’s story is to get people to buy some crazy thing that’s implausible. Like spaghetti trees.

Come on Moviehole! Aim higher! Get us to believe something stupid next year.

Something like “Robert Deniro to play the title character in The Anna Nichole Smith Story.”

Personally, I always took the government conspiracy part of the story exactly as seriously as I took the UFOs and things like Chupacabra. It’s all just fantasy (or a parallel universe.) Entertaining, but no connection to the real world.

Well she did pinch hit for another FBI agent in Hannibal. Maybe they should just merge the two franchises.

I liked x-files but the government conspiracy nonsense is so 9-10 and comes off as really pathetic now.

Let it be known that I didn’t care enough to check the story. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
