The X-Files: I Want to Believe R-Rated Director’s Cut finally lands streaming date, and unveils confusing new title

David Duchovny as Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Scully.

Following a muted non-annoucement and an unspecified delay, the director's cut of the maligned 2008 standalone movie The X Files: I Want to Believe now has an official streaming date on Hulu and Disney Plus, and a bizarre new title along with it.

As announced by the big D (h/t Gizmodo), the "never-before-seen R-rated Chris Carter Director’s Cut" of The X Files: I Want to Believe will stream from August 14 on Hulu or Disney Plus, depending on which part of the world you live in and which bundle you may or may not have. Set to "faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision," the standalone X-Files movie has also been re-monikered with a strange new title: The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn.
