Pics from 'X-Files' Set
Filed under: Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and Sequels, Images
I'll just come right out and say it: I think werewolves are dumb. They could be interesting, and I'm sure they once were, but for me they're typically a let down, whether they be the lame werewolves in Wes Craven's Cursed or the badly generated werewolf transformation in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or even the blood-splattering werewolves of a well-written horror film like Dog Soldiers. Maybe it's because the first werewolves I was familiar with growing up were Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" video and Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf, but whatever the reason, the fact remains that I don't think they're scary and I don't think they're cool. So, you can imagine how disappointed I was to see JoBlo's new spy shots from the set of "X-Files: Done One" (aka X-Files 2), which feature what looks to be a werewolf mask. I guess there's a chance that thing in the photos could simply be a wolf -- not of the 'were' variety -- and that would be OK. But seeing as this is the paranormal world of X-Files, I'm betting on my first thought being correct.
For other fans of the show, these photos are probably pretty exciting. They're certainly a lot more interesting than that first pic we saw last month, and more intriguing than these simple photos and video of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson from FlynetOnline or these more official shots from ComingSoon.net. Also, with all the secrecy surrounding the plot of the sequel, these photos allow us to speculate a great many things while we wait to hear about the actual plot synopsis. Perhaps one of those new cast members, say Xzibit or Billy Connolly or Amanda Peet turns into a werewolf. Wouldn't that be super neat? Yeah, well you already know I think it would be boring, but I'm trying to be excited for the rest of you.

Yeah, I'm not sure what is up with all the haters on the internet saying this movie shouldn't be made...
But as a day one X-phile I have to say that if this movie is truly about werewolves....ugh, they did that story TWICE on the series...

I'm an old X-Files guy from way back, and watched the show every week. I even saw the movie when it came out. But I do admit: the time for this movie may have passed some years ago. I'm not sure it's as relevant now, as it was 10 years ago.

How can people who loved this show and watched it keep saying it's time has passed.. wtf!? when was the last time you seen a film/tv show anything remotely like or as good as the xfiles? we need another xfiles tv series and fecking movie, the only thing worth watching even remotely similar is Supernatural..
Not sure about the werewolf pict, i've yet to see them done well as an adult, as a kid they were frightening, as an adult it always looks like a guy in a hairy suit..
