The new footage captures the same air of mystery and paranoia that
became a hallmark of the sci-fi procedural, with plenty of callbacks to
the original series, including Mitch Pileggi’s Walter Skinner and the return of the villainous Smoking Man (William B. Davis).
“In 2002, our investigation ceased, but my personal obsession did not,” David Duchovny’s
Fox Mulder intones at the start of the trailer. “They police us and spy
on us, tell us that makes us safer – we’ve never been in more danger.”
It’s not long before Mulder reunites with former partner (both professionally and personally) Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson, who warns him, “You are on dangerous ground here.”
