Scully discovers that William has been taken by a UFO cult that believes William is destined to become the savior of mankind, but only if Fox Mulder is still alive. If Mulder is dead, William will lead the forces of evil: the alien invaders.

Glass (1989 film)
Film by Chris Kennedy
Glass is a 1989 Australian erotic thriller which was the feature debut of Chris Kennedy. Production. Chris Kennedy made the movie shortly after leaving film school:
I had an Irish friend who considered himself a bit of a film producer and I considered myself a film writer and director and producer, so I went to the bank and talked them into giving us the money to make Glass, on the understanding that we would be able to recoup the money... They didn't know any better and I didn't know any better. So we went ahead and made the film. Essentially "Glass" was made with a view to selling it effectively. It was made to be something that you could turn the sound off in Iceland and still get a pretty good idea of what's going on. Apart from other things, apart from being a terrific learning curve for me, it was really making movies on the job without ever having made a movie. No-one at the top end of the cast or crew had ever made a feature film before, and I was the blind leading the blind. Reception. According to Kennedy the film sold very well overseas and recouped a fair amount of its budget. The director calls it "a bit of a raw and amateurish effort, but there are bits and pieces of it I quite like." References. &lt;templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" /&gt;

Anna Christie (1930 German-language film)
1930 film
Anna Christie is a 1930 German-language film adapted from the 1921 Eugene O'Neill play of the same title and filmed following the release of the English-language original version of the same adaptation earlier the same year. Both versions feature leading actress Greta Garbo. In the early years of sound films, Hollywood studios produced foreign-language versions of some of their films using the same sets and sometimes the same costumes, with native speakers of the language usually replacing some or all of the original cast. The German-language version of "Anna Christie" is one of the few that survives. The film was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at their Culver City, California studio in July and August 1930 (the English-language original had been filmed there in October and November 1929). It premiered in Cologne, Germany on December 2, 1930. Garbo is the only cast member appearing in both versions and looks noticeably different in the two. The German dialog was written by Walter Hasenclever and Frank Reicher, for the most part very closely following Frances Marion's original adaptation. The film was directed by Jacques Feyder using the same cinematographer, Garbo favorite William H. Daniels, but a different crew. Plot. Chris Christofferson (Hans Junkermann), the alcoholic skipper of a coal barge in New York, receives a letter from his estranged twenty-year-old daughter Anna "Christie" Christofferson (Greta Garbo). She tells him that she'll be leaving Minnesota to stay with him.
