Back in the day, I caught an episode or two of "The X-Files." So when I got the call to cover the red carpet for the "X-Files: I Want to Believe" premiere, I was down to catch a sneak peek of the fabulous Gillian Anderson, a.k.a. Agent Scully.

I knew it was gonna be an interesting night when I pulled into the parking structure, got out of my car, headed to the elevator and was followed by the Joker. Good ol' Hollywood impersonators. Needless to say, I was taking the stairs.

Once I made it to the blocked-off streets of Hollywood, I was reminded of how popular the show is. There were legions of fans out there supporting those alien-chasing agents. Sometime later, the stars and makers of the film hit the red carpet, including David Duchovny, Anderson, Xzibit, director/writer Chris Carter and even the guy who made the creepy "X-Files" theme song! I hummed it for him, and he asked if he could sample my voice. I kid you not!

By far my favorite interview was with the man behind "300" and "Sin City": Frank Miller. He was gracious enough to give me some details about his upcoming movie, "The Spirit." And when I asked him how he comes up with all these crazy films he said, "To scare people like you." Yikes!

It's something I've been waiting over a decade for - the chance to interview one of my favorite TV duos, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, from one of the best TV shows of all time, "The X-Files." The occasion was the press junket for their new film, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," and it started with a flight from JFK to LAX. I arrived at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel on Friday afternoon, and shortly afterward was on a shuttle van to the movie screening at the Zanuck Theatre, on the Fox lot.

During the short trip to the lot I spoke with some other journalists who are X-Philes like myself, and four of us sat together in the theater, forming our own little geek group. During the screening we whispered about some familiar faces that appeared onscreen, and about some folks whom we wished were included but weren't. There were some pleasant surprises, some truly frightening moments, and I left the theater pretty satisfied with this second big-screen "X-Files" adventure. Read more...

It was called "The Untitled X-Files Sequel." Then it was simply "The X-Files 2." And finally just a few days ago, the heavily-anticipated return of one of sci-fi's biggest franchises received its final title..."The X-Files: I Want To Believe," taken from the now-famous motto emblazoned across the famous poster in Agent Fox Mulder's office.

But anyone thinking the name doesn't have a deeper meaning is as misguided as the Cigarette Smoking Man.

"The title makes sense because [the poster] was really emblematic of Mulder's faith, and the struggle for his faith," stated series creator Chris Carter during an exclusive interview with MTV News at NY Comic-Con. "He doesn't believe...he wants to believe. So I think that is essentially the story we're telling. It's the story we've always told but in this case I think we really bring it into high focus."
