Fringe has often been compared to shows such as The X-Files, Altered States, The Twilight Zone and Dark Angel, but cast member Joshua Jackson thinks that this is a little more than a lazy reference. The sci-fi series, which details the exploits of FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, scientist Walter Bishop, and his son Peter as they investigate aspects of fringe science, is “trying to be a hybrid of a few different things,” according to the 30-year-old actor.  On the other hand, Jackson hopes Fringe will eventually be used as a reference point when the next large sci-fi series debuts.

Fifteen years after the original series began and 10 years after the first film, the new X-Files movie is now in theaters. Mulder and Scully return to their alien investigations in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and creator Chris Carter all returning to the iconic sci-fi franchise.

To celebrate the release of the new film, BuddyTV offers the personality quiz: Which X-Files Character Are You? Answer 15 simple questions to see if you’re as skeptical as Scully, a true believer like Mulder, as mysteriously sinister as the Cigarette Smoking Man, or as wildly offbeat as The Lone Gunmen.

Just in time for the highly anticipated feature film The X-Files: I Want to Believe, series creator Chris Carter himself has selected eight full hour episodes from the series to include in a special DVD compilation, entitled The X-Files Revelations. The compilation features special on-camera introductions by Carter and producer Frank Spotnitz, the February 2008 WonderCon panel session with Carter and Spotnitz, as well as series stars David Duchovny (Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Scully), making their first fan convention appearance together in several years and taking questions from rabid “X-Philes,” in an interview spanning over 38 minutes.

BuddyTV has five copies of The X-Files Revelations to give away. Read on to see how you can win.

Fans of The X-Files may remember that FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) had a poster that read, "I Want to Believe" on his basement office wall where he and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) worked.  Based on this, FOX has finally named the second big screen installment of the science fiction drama The X-Files: I Want to Believe, which is expected to hit theaters on July 25.

X-Files creator Chris Carter, who also serves as the movie director and co-writer, describes the “I Want to Believe” phrase as a “natural title” for the film.

"It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science.  'I Want to Believe.'  It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith," Carter said.

After years of waiting, the highly anticipated series, The X-Files, will be making its way on the big screen yet again.  Twentieth Century Fox has finally set a release date for a new motion picture based on the popular award-winning science fiction series that starred FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson).  According to the announcement, the movie is slated to begin filming on December 10 in Vancouver and is expected to hit the theaters on July 25, 2008.

Created and executive produced by Chris Carter, The X-Files is a series broadcast on FOX that aired from 1993 to 2002.  It followed the lives and the adventures of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, two agents who investigate cases that often involved the paranormal and the supernatural.  The award-winning show became such a phenomenon that it gave birth to its first feature film based on the series in 1998 with $187 million in theatrical box office.
