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
