I'm very intrigued - I've wanted to do something like this for a while. I'd be willing to start up a PIF chain if someone can send me a copy (I live in Chicago).

Over a year ago, I started the idea (over at fanedit.org) of making the X-Files mythology episodes into feature length films to support FIGHT THE FUTURE (project idea here). Well, after a year of work on this, the first movie is done. This is about the start of the X-Files. I made this into widescreen to give it more of a theatrical feel, so I’ve individually reframed almost every shot to accomplish this. 5 episodes were included this. I’ve also included a variety of external audio sources, including additional score, music, and sound effects. More edits are likely to follow in the future.
New Runtime:</span> 127 minutes
Episodes Included: pilot, Deep Throat, Fallen Angel, Tooms, The Erlenmeyer Flask
Cuts removed/added/extended :
- added THX style FAN logo intro
- added Fox Fanfare intro
- added intro credits
- reframed from 4:3 fullscreen to 1.85:1 (16×9) widescreen
- cut Scully walking into FBI headquarters
- cut airplane scene
- cut some dialogue in car referencing medical examiner as possible suspect
- cut “I’m wired” line by Mulder
- removed some commercial fades
- cut confrontation at cemetery
- cut discussion of “father knowing about sons involvement in abductions” with Tracy at diner
- cut father/son reunion
- added Smoking Man in warehouse over dialogue from Mulder to phone conversation to heighten tension and aid transition
- cut credits to pilot
- cut theme intro to ‘Deep Throat’ episode
- integrated intro to ‘Fallen Angel’ before Mulder & Scully pnone call and intro of ‘Deep Throat’
- removed reference to crash happening in Wisconsin
- some panning and reframing to Mulder meeting Scully in bar - to remove episode credits
- lots of cropping/panning/editing to Mulder & Scully case discussion in bar - to remove episode credits
- cut crazy fly-fisherman
- added some nature sound effects & score over some cuts during Scully talking outside to smooth audio transition
- cut waitresses line “Quiet like a hummingbird” - This makes no sense. Hummingbirds are VERY vocal.
- cut kids from film. While they were good characters, they really served no purpose for this edit
- completely rebuilt audio with score and sound effects for night helocopter chase to accomodate loss of kids
- removed more obnoxious commercial fades
- cut reference to kids in hotel conversation
- cut kids leading mulder through fence. Mulder is not guided. He explores on his own.
- did I mention about removing commercial fades???
- had to cut some dialogue of Scully holding agent at gunpoint to remove kids from scene
- reworked end of Deep Throat (meeting between Mulder & Deep Throat at track) a bit
- trimmed some of Mulder’s dialogue from final meeting with Deep Throat (from Deep Throat episode).
- cut credits to ‘Deep Throat’
- cut intro credits to ‘Erlenmeyer Flask’
- lots of reframing to remove credits
- cut all local police scenes, and the search for the missing suspect
- cut actual murder scene of Dr. Berube
- arrgggggg, begone ye worthless commercial fades
- removed corny dialogue between Scully & Mulder about trust and faith.
- removed reference to Deep Throat meeting Scully before
- cut final phone call between Mulder & Scully. There is no talk now of shutting down the X-Files. It would have been way too soon to all happen (opening & closing) in 1 movie.
- removed end credits to Erlenmeyer Flask
- custom end credits
- many many more little cuts that aren’t listed. I probably forgot a lot
