‘X-Files’ Casting Decisions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: 20th Century Fox, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Upcoming Releases
Xzibit, no stranger to the filming studio thanks to MTV, has joined the cast of the upcoming X-Files movie. Amanda Peet and Billy Connolly are already signed on for supporting roles in the flick.
One source says the rapper and the movie star (Xzibit and Peet) will play FBI agents working with Scully and Mulder, the stars of the show and the film. The plot is being kept very hush-hush, and FOX is releasing very little information on which roles the actors will play. Xzibit has played roles in films before and was set to appear in the Oliver Stone film, Pinkville. The Pinkville project, however, has been scrapped because of the ongoing and seemingly unending writer’s strike.

‘X-Files’ Movie Slated for July 2008
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases
July 25, 2008. That date will be personally significant to me but globally significant to sci-fi fans everywhere. Although my husband should be taking me out to dinner to celebrate our 4-year wedding anniversary, I sense that evening will be spent in a movie theater instead. After all—how often does an X-Files film come around?
After years of rumors and denials, what had been looking like a pipe dream is now becoming a reality. David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and creator Chris Carter have finally gotten their acts together and jointly committed to the long-awaited X-Files sequel. Production is scheduled to start in December in time for the Summer 2008 release date.
Although the cult series only ended in 2002, it has been a whopping ten years since Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were last seen on the big screen. While the new film is meant to be a ‘stand-alone’ feature, I suspect DVD rentals of the series and movie will spike sometime around June of next year. I know I could use a bit of refreshing myself; the only thing I remember about the first pic were the bees. Lots of them.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, Adaptation, Foreign, Period, Political, Short FilmCrunch, Theatrical Reviews, Videocasts
Neil Estep and Veronica Santiago review the theatrical release of The Last King of Scotland in this episode of FilmCrunch.
A Scottish doctor on a Ugandan medical mission becomes irreversibly entangled with one of the world?s most barbaric figures: Idi Amin. Impressed by Dr. Garrigan?s brazen attitude in a moment of crisis, the newly self-appointed Ugandan President Amin hand picks him as his personal physician and closest confidante. Though Garrigan is at first flattered and fascinated by his new position, he soon awakens to Amin?s savagery—and his own complicity in it. Horror and betrayal ensue as Garrigan tries to right his wrongs and escape Uganda alive.
