Cigarette-Smoking Man

I want to believe.

“The X-Files” is returning to television for a short-stack order of 6-episodes. It’s official.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return as Mulder and Scully, respectively. That’s official.

Now, it’s confirmed that both the infamous Cigarette-Smoking Man (William B. Davis) and FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) will return to the FOX series.

Duchovny appeared on “Late Show With David Letterman” where he revealed both are back for another round of sci-fi horror.

“There’s Gillian and I, we’re original. Mitch Pileggi will come back, and the cigarette-smoking man — if that means anything to anyone — will be coming back.”

“The X-Files” went on for nine season and was expanded into two feature films, as well as an ongoing comic series.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
