Just Saw X-Files Trailer Today
Hieu G. Nguyen
Just came back from seeing "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" at
my local cineplex and, much to my surprise, the X-Files trailer was
included at the beginning (MK was made by New Line Cinema, XF is made
by 20th Century Fox). I thought I read in several posts that the
first trailer wouldn't be out 'til "Alien Resurrection." For any
mega-Philes out there, the Bounty Hunter on the XF is the main villain
(Shao Khan) in the MK movie. Oh, just in case anyone lives in my
area, I saw it in Orlando, FL, at the Fashion Village 8 theatre on
Colonial near Fashion Square Mall. MK is only showing on one screen
so you should see the trailer no matter what show it is. In case you
don't want to know anything about the XF movie or even the trailer,
stop reading now.
Okay, the trailer starts out with the 20th Century Fox logo
and the familiar music (replete with blaring trumpets). It then gets
fuzzy like a really bad interlaced black & white TV and starts talking
about how the truth has been obscured in the past and how we can't
believe anything today. While the voiceover is going on we get scenes
of gov't types milling about and shots of what look like laboratories.
We then hear that all this obscuring of the truth and covering up is
going to end now.
We then hear Gillian, in voiceover, say, "Mulder?"
There are then some really quick flashes of numerous scenes.
Some that I can remember are somebody falling into the ground in a
snowy landscape, the back of Mulder & Scully as they're running with
"FBI" on the back of their jackets, Martin Landau (I think) coming to
a pause as some headlights flash at him. The final shot I can
remember is Moose & Squirrel looking above as they're standing by
their car and a bright flash of light hits them. You then hear the
familiar XF theme song in a somewhat mellower key. This flashlight
beam then shines from a black background and moves around a little
before you can see a new XF logo. The logo's kind of hard to describe
with the "X" really big and kind of slanted (that's a bad description,
I know, but it's hard to articulate). It disappears and then you see
"Fight the Future" in red with the premiere date, June 19 (18?), 1998,
underneath. There was no logo for 1013 or any kind shot of the
actors, producers, etc. No rating was given either. The whole
trailer couldn't have been much longer than a minute.
Even though MK is absolutely atrocious, I'm seeing it again
tonight (students get in evening shows for only $3.75) so I can see
the trailer. If you're a die-hard, I'd say it's worth it.

XF related sentence. Didn't Shwartzenalien's acting rock in this movie.

Peorsonaly I thought it was just horrible. Started okay I guess, but after
15 min boy did it stink.
The first one was far better.

I got roped into seeing the (really horrible) Mortal Kombat movie by
some friends of mine, and was sitting there absolutely dreading the film
when the previews came up and I got intrigued by this funny little fuzzy
b&w preview. All of a sudden, screen goes to black, and you hear that
ScullyVoice shout "Mulder!" out from the darkness. It was seriously
kickass, to borrow a phrase from Cartman. I sat through MK with a
permanent grin on my face. Great trailer... I'd advise everyone to wait
for Alien to see it, though. :)

I know, I took my nephew to see Mortal Kombat:Annihilation and when
I heard that voice going on about the media and truth at the
beginning of the trailer, I was thinking it was the trailer for
Tomorrow Never Dies, the new James Bond flick, because it deals
with a media tycoon manipulating the media, even though MGM makes
it, not Fox. Then I heard that shout, "Muulderrr", I dropped my
popcorn, man I got goosebumps from watching the trailer. I can't
wait til summer, and I hopefully get to see the trailer again next
week when Alien:Resurrection comes out, this time I'll be better
prepared and will look for details.
