It appears that someone at WonderCon leaked footage from X-Files 2 on to YouTube. I know it sucks for con attendees, but the studios should just put all this footage officially online the Monday following the convention. The movie studios appear to be fine with thousands of people seeing this footage, so why not show a couple hundred thousand more? Footage will always get leaked, the studios and Comic Con will probably never be able to prevent that, especially with the rate the technology and cameras are shrinking. So the question to the studios are, would you rather the interested fans see the presentation in a crappy handheld video clip shot on a cellphone and uploaded to YouTube, or in a nice quicktime where they have full control?
Check out the trailer after the jump.

i was towards the back of the question line, getting frustrated that noone was asking the most important question of the day, “what is the most you can tell us about the plot of the new film?” they ended questioning before i got to the front, and im bummed that people asked the lame questions they did, instead of one pertaining to the whole reason the 4 of them were in SF.

Orange,
I participated in a round table interview with them, and we kept grilling them and grilling them and we got even less information than was revealed in the panel. It was very frustrating. It’s like, if you’re going to come here to promote your movie, promote it. This secrecy thing is a few steps overboard.

So, YouTube is working again… you can see the trailer there. Also, there are other websites offering different clips. One of those is on my MySpace page. Add me :)
