| Television has always shared ideas, stars and sometimes even actual series with the silver screen. Very often, TV series land up at the movies just so fans get to see their favourite stars up on the big screen. A noteworthy example of this is The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998) in which TV-land’s most popular FBI Agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) contrived to fight the government on a bigger scale (with huge names like Martin Landau lending a hand) while getting no closer to the truth, even though it’s always been out there. The film never really took off – some fans felt the movie version had no new information and novice viewers couldn’t see what the big deal was with the whole conspiracy theory. The film, however, did pretty decently at the box office, taking in US$83mil (RM307mil) in the United States, not bad considering the budget was US$66mil (RM244mil). .............................. |
