I remember when The X-Files movie came out in 1998 and it was called. . . well, The X-Files movie. Ten years later, there is another movie based on the formerly popular television series, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, so the original movie is now being called The X-Files: Fight the Future. Or maybe it was always called that and I just didn’t know it. The point is, the original The X-Files movie is now available on Blu-Ray for the first time.
The Blu-Ray for The X-Files: Fight the Future is scheduled to be released December 2nd the same day as the DVD and Blu-Ray for The X Files: I Want to Believe. That means if you are one of the 12 remaining living fans of The X-Files and you own a Blu-Ray player, you are going to have one Merry Christmas.
The plot of The X-Files: Fight the Future involves agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating a conspiracy that may involve a deadly virus from outer space. That sounds pretty darn scary, but not half as scary as seeing it all in beautiful high definition with a boatload of extras. You can see a list of the Blu-Ray extras below along with the cover art. The truth is indeed out there. Or down there.

Yes, the first X-Files movie was always called Fight the Future. I gather from your snippy comments and the fact that you didn't know this that you are not a fan. You will be stunned to find that there are actually quite a lot of us out here and, yes, we will be buying both movies.
I am one of the 12 remaining X-Files fans (actually there are plenty of us) and this is great news, but I am too poor to have a blu ray...is it going to be rereleased on DVD?
Thanks for the misguided sarcasm, Ed. I guess I'm one of the remaining 12 because this is great news to me! Very much looking forward to the release of both films on Blu-Ray.
Another X Phile weighs in. I can't wait for these? I made the switch to Blu Ray almost a year ago, and this is VERY good news! I have Fight the Future on laser disk (you can imagine how much use THAT gets these days), and am looking forward to getting this and "I Want to Believe" on blu ray.
I plan on buying a blu-ray player (or PS3) just so I can watch all XF related things on blu-ray. I agree with what was stated above, X-Files does deserve better treatment!

I guess I'm one of the 12 remaining living fans. Come on , the X Files deserves better treatment than that.
I'm excited for this!
