Hulu has released the first trailer for The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn, offering fans a preview of writer-director Chris Carter’s long-awaited R-rated director’s cut of the 2008 film. Set to premiere Aug. 14 on Hulu and Disney+, the new version restores Carter’s original, more horror-driven vision after the theatrical release was edited to secure a PG-13 rating. The updated title incorporates the Russian words for “Victor Frankenstein,” reflecting the film’s central inspiration and darker themes. Hulu is also developing a reboot from filmmaker Ryan Coogler, starring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel. The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn premieres Aug. 14 on Hulu and Disney+.
