Film Marketing Review - The One About 'The X-Files: I Want To Believe'

"To Find The Truth, You Must Believe."This second X-Files film is a great detective style mystery but features none of the series usual UFO mythology or “monster of the week” storytelling and as a result did not get an entirely positive response from movie-goers.Plus, the marketing for the film fell well short of what was needed to promote 'The X-Files: I Want To Believe' against other releases such as 'The Dark Knight'. Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards who are huge fans of the TV series investigate the promotional campaign and make suggestions about what they could have done back in 2008 to create a much more hard hitting and immersive campaign.This conversation was recorded for episode 59 of 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast'.--About the Film Marketing AcademyIt all began with a simple content series launched in 2020 by Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards, today the Film Marketing Academy is an exciting consultancy programme AND an extensive library of over 100 film marketing campaigns reviewed and organised into 6 main collections:'70s and '80s ClassicsAction and AdventureHorror and TerrorSci-Fi and FantasyThriller and MysteryComedy and Drama<br/>New film marketing reviews are added regularly alongside interviews with marketing professionals from the movie industry and beyond.
