A new poster for Fox’s upcoming six-episode run of “The X-Files” has been released and prominently features Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) set against a large “X” that takes up nearly the entire poster. The tagline reads “The truth is still out there“, a reference to the tagline of the original series, which stated “The truth is out there”.
