It’s official. Chris Carter has announced that X-Files: I Want to Believe will open in theaters on July 25th.

“I’d say we’re trying to scare the pants off of you, like a really good episode of X-Files,” Carter says during a break in filming. “It’s not a mythology episode, but it [deals with] the characters’ lives, what they’ve been through, their relationship and the arc of the show.”

Other than the alien abduction and her subsequent pregnancy, I don’t remember too much about Dana Scully’s backstory. However, I recall Fox Mulder dealing with the disappearance of his sister, Samantha, and his belief that aliens had abducted her. Carter gave us a hint at what the show is going to be about, but I don’t know if he’s going to divulge any more details. If you’ve been following this story, you know that he’s been very secretive about this film since its conception.
