First Mulder and Scully Pictures

Holy Shit!

We all saw those behind the scenes shots of Duchovny from the first few days of shooting last month, but here it is: our first pictures of Special Agent Fox Mulder and Special Agent Dana Scully together again!

I guess any hair questions are now put to rest. We have a long haired Scully in The X-Files 2!

And doesn't Gillian look great?!

Wow... those pictures don't really look weird at all. It just looks like Mulder and Scully doing their thing. If I had to describe them in one word, I would say that the pictures look "right", which is a good sign.

When I first saw these pics, I had to do a double take to make sure they weren't just stills from some old episode. It would seem that, aestetically speaking, the look of the characters is right where the series left off!

In other news, X-Files Ultimate reported recently that the budget for the film is $30 million, which is rather small when you consider that films like Superman Returns and Spider-Man 3 are all breaking the $200 million budget mark these days.

But heh, The X-Files isn't Spider-Man. They don't need tonnes of special effects. The best special effect The X-Files ever used was the dynamic chemistry between its two leads. 1013 shot nine years of episodes on a television budget and did just fine, so hopefully a modest budget shouldn't be a hinderance.

Then again, if you think of Carter as a first time feature film director, $30 million aint bad! Hell, look what Joss Whedon (another first time feature film director) did with Serenity's $39 million budget!

Then again, when it comes to directing, Carter aint no Whedon...
