New X-Files Revealed

X Files

Fox has released images of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson from their new “The X Files” sequel, which opens July 25th.

They also confirmed reports that the plot will not revolve around the long-running (and very drawn out) “alien mythology” plotline, opting in favour of a stand-alone tale along the lines of early “X-Files” episodes. Good news indeed.

TMZ reports that actor Brad Renfro has passed away.

He will truly be missed.
