Ah, X-Files fans everywhere are waiting with breathless anticipation for the upcoming X-Files movie (or is it just me… the breathless part, I mean?)

The first X-Files movie pictures have been released, and while they aren’t too revealing plot wise, it does give us a peek at David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. More details and X-Files movie pictures after the jump.

And that will just have to do for now, since the X-Files movie (known as Untitled X-Files Sequel) has a tentative release date of July 25th.

Series creator Chris Carter says the X-Files movie will be a little different than the series, doing away with the mythology stuff to create a film that can stand on its own.

Chris Carter told USA Today:

“We want a stand-alone movie, not a mythology conspiracy one. There’s a whole audience I want to introduce X-Files to. There were kids who couldn’t watch it on TV because it was too scary. Now they’re in college. I wanted a movie that everyone could go to.”
