Not since the invention of wi-fi, HD, Blu-Ray or some equally stupid-sounding technology have the nerds of the world been so excited.
You see, it was recently announced that cult 90s sci-fi show The X Files would be making a comeback. Unlike the comebacks of Crowded House and East 17, many people actually pricked up their ears at this news. While some cinema-goers might just want to spend 90 minutes perving over Gillian Anderson, a lot of people may be going to find out the answer to long-forgotten questions like a) How much does the Smoking Man spend on ciggies everyday, and b) Will Mulder accidentally find out that his long-lost sister is actually living next door to him?
We’re not too sure about any of that, but we know of three people who could help unravel the mysteries. Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet and Xzibit.
Yes, that’s right – the three most unlikely people have been cast in a film with a lot of expectation already upon its extra terrestrial shoulders.
We aren’t too sure what they are going to be doing, but if it’s got anything to do with how we know and love them at present, it’s not going to be too good. Billy Connolly is sure to be the bumbling sidekick who'll get the FBI agents into all sorts of wacky situations. Expect him to tell many a tale in situations when it’s not appropriate. For example, when the head of the alien mafia takes them all hostage with a gun to their heads, expect our Billy to bang on about how it reminds him of a similar story that happened to him in his native Glasgow. Only the alien was a pissed Glaswegian women threatening to glass him with a Smirnoff bottle.
As Digital Spy reports:
“Fox would not release details of the trio's roles, but Xzibit and Peet are rumoured to be playing FBI agents working with Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson).”
Damn. Xzibit to play an FBI agent? Hecklerspray had hopes that he would have a cameo role where he’d take some sort of spacecraft to his pimp hut and get the thing a phat paint job with a sound system that could pump beats across the other side of the galaxy for Luke Skywalker to hear.
With Xzibit’s prior acting experience being the rubbish 8 Mile and Pimp My Ride where he parades around like a twat for half an hour, we are a bit uneasy why he was cast. Maybe all the other rappers were busy that day. But we do assume that 2Pac was up for the role, since he somehow release all those records from beyond the grave. Unless that’s what the film is about and they need a rapper to help solve the mystery. If not, there’s our screenplay right there.
And Amanda Peet? Well, she’s just another piece of eye candy to stare at if the film gets boring. Everybody wins!
