It wasn’t that long ago that 20th Century Fox released the first trailer for the much-anticipated X-Files movie sequel, The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Some, including myself, felt it was a big disappointment. It was awfully light on content, and was really just a bunch of black flashes, giving us very little insight as to what the plot of the movie is going to be about.
Yahoo now has the second trailer for the movie. It’s exclusive to them for the time being.
The second trailer isn’t that much different from the first. The trailer’s editor(s) reused a lot of the content from the first, but did add some more substantive scenes, like those involving Scottish actor and comedian Billy Connolly and the sexy Amanda Peet.
I thought the second trailer was an improvement, but I feel that this should have been the first version. I’m a big fan of the X-Files TV series and the first movie, so a trailer isn’t needed to convince me to see the new film. But what I want from the first trailer is something that’s going to really surprise me, and that surprise is gone now that it took Fox two trailers to get their message out. A movie should never need more than one movie trailer.
