X-Files 2 has been without an official title for some time, but now the truth is out there: it’s called The X-Files: I Want to Believe. You’re remembering right – that’s the motto on the famous poster hanging in Mulder’s FBI office.
“It’s a natural title,” series creator and film director Chris Carter told the Associated Press. “It’s a story that involves the
difficulties in mediating faith and science. `I Want to Believe.’ It
really does suggest Mulder’s struggle with his faith.”
Now that we know what the title is, maybe we’ll soon find out what the movie is about. There were photos of a werewolf snapped on the set, but supposedly those pictures were part of a deliberate and elaborate disinformation campaign. “We went to almost comical lengths to keep the story a secret,” Carter
said. “That included allowing only the key crew members to read the
script, and they had to read it in a room that had video cameras
trained on them. It was a new experience.”
All that we know is that the film isn’t a mythology story, and probably isn’t about aliens. We should get more info soon – X-Files: I Want to Believe is in theaters at the end of July and I’m surprised we still haven’t seen a trailer. But should I be surprised? It’s seeming like the era of teasers coming out a year early is coming to an end.

Uh…worst title ever! Sounds like a Supremes song or something. Ridiculous. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the X-Files. This title is just stupid and not very catchy either.
I agree. I love The X-Files, as well as the first flick. But the title (however natural) is just dopey. I can see the subtitle working, maybe, as a tag-line instead.
Alternate X-Files titles:
X-Files: You never could beat me Egg Shen!
X-Files: Career Restarters!
X-Files: Reliable Dissapointments.
X-Files: Fatten the future.
they took the title from a poster with a flying saucer on it and it's not going to be about aliens? i'm fine with the title, btw, as long as it's brought to bear on the themes of the film.
Pretty crappy title. The only worse alternatives: "The X-Files: The Return of the X-Files" and "Quantum of Scully"
The X-Files: Devin Smells Bad
I like the X-Files too, but the new title sounds like something lifted from an '80's hair metal power-balad.
On the plus side, Gillian in new photos, even if they are in Maxim.
This title is balls. Maybe Steve Perry will sing the theme song, "Oh, Scully!"
This expression of resentment is due only to a long standing love of most things X-Files (i.e. the first five seasons)
Fun Tip: Women find skinny men to be more attractive! And are YOU a skinny man? I think not!
This title is not balls, but it's nothing spectacular either. It should have been: "X-Files 2: Fuck you Aliens, we're going to ignore the whole mythology of the entire series and switch over to ghosts or some shit."
Now that's what I call a cringe inducing title. `
fun tip #2: women are attracted to men who dont tease people on message boards as a hobby.

The new Jack Johnston single, "I Want to Believe."
