Disney has officially announced that the never-before-seen R-rated new director’s cut of the second “The X-Files” film, 2008’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” will hit streaming next month.
Carter first teased this new version a year ago when appearing on David Duchovny’s podcast “Fail Better,” saying that when creating the film he “made it too scary” and had to cut it for release to get a PG-13 rating.
Almost twenty years on, he says: “Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended”. The result is a new version titled “The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn” which will premiere on Hulu on August 14th.
Vrach Frankenshteyn is Russian for Dr. Frankenstein, an allusion to both the cobbled-together nature of the new cut as well as the film’s overall plot which involves a Frankenstein-inspired plot involving harvested organs and human body transplants.
The new version is said to “faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision”. The film was first teased as coming back in June but didn’t show up due to “last-minute adjustments” being made to the film.
It’s not clear the extent of the changes of the new cut, but we’ll find out when it arrives in four weeks time.
