This week my Media section is being featured in xfiles.miningco.com!! Cool. Anyway, today is a tiny update. First, in the previously mentioned section, my picture of the soundtrack premiere party press pass doubles as the soundtrack "security badge" which was worn by salesmen at some music stores to promote the album. Both items look exactly the same, and probably are the same, but were used for two purposes. Also, here is a picture of 7 5x7" promo stills. They are different than the set of 7 stills I have previously posted.

This just in: X-Informant on SpoilerVille said that Strughold and Kurtzweil could make an appearance on the mythology 2-parter, episodes 9 and 10!

I got a picture of the British press kit. Here is a more detailed explanation of it than the one I posted a few weeks ago. This press kit comes with slides, whereas the one whose description I had previously didn't.

"Offered here is the very hard-to-find British press kit for the X-Files film. The press kit contains the following items: 27 pages of production notes, 16 pages of credits, 2 8x10" black-and-white stills (4 images), 6 color slides, and last but not least, a very glossy high-quality full color foldout. This foldout starts off at nearly 8" square. On the matte black cover are printed the words 'Fight the Future.' You open the left leaf and the green field poster design is on the inside and on the right matte black leaf are the words, 'There are Forces on Earth Too Hidden to be Detected.' This leaf lifts up to show the blue ice poster design, revealing another matte black leaf with the words, 'There are Conspiracies Too Vast to be Uncovered.' This leaf opens to the right and reveals the orange poster design (with swings) and leaves yet another matte black leaf with the words 'This Summer. Take Your Worst Fears and Multiply Them By...' This final leaf opens downwards showing the final (red) poster design. In the middle of the 4 leafs there is a center panel showing 5 pictures from the film and has the words 'The X-Files. FBI Special Agents Mulder and Scully delve deeply into the psyche of the paranormal and ultimately expose the truth behind a secret project that threatens to irrevocably alter the future of mankind.'"

Cool. This is a picture of the keychain given out as a promo for the video release. It's the same as the keychain given out on opening day in theaters, except it's black, not silver. And this would be the Oldsmobile Intrigue X-Files Movie Sales Kit. Here's the info:

"The X-Files Movie Oldsmobile Sales Kit--this kit was only given to Oldsmobile dealerships and includes an X-Files stamper, an Intrigue/X-Files Feature Film Promotion Program which tells about the free tickets to the film and more, a small cardboard table standee, 4.5" tall, a cardboard X-Files license plate, and a photo of the Intrigue. It comes in an X-Files envelope."

And The X-Files has been #1 in sales and rentals at Blockbuster stores through October 18.

The episode about "devil children" or whatever that was to take place in Roanoke, Virginia had a script change so it will now take place in the fictional town of Kroner, Kansas. The video was #3 in rentals, earning $3.83 million, ending October 18. And ending October 17, it's still #1 in Reel.com's sales. I also mentioned the lunchboxes a while ago. It seems that there is one, and it was just recently released. The picture is in the Merchandise section. It's made by G Whiz!

Here's the info on two store promotional display items for the video. The first is the mobile, and the second is the standee. I had the latter already listed in the Merchandise section.

"It measures 20" tall, by 13" wide, by 5" deep. It comes with a hook and several feet of line so it can be hung just about anywhere. It is a real eye-catcher."

"This is one of the X-Files video standees. You may have seen one of these in your local video store. This is a real collector's item. Unlike the large movie theater standees, this one is a much more manageable size. It measures 58" tall, by 22" wide by 16" deep. It is the right size to fit into any room. A real eye-catcher. You may not be able to tell from the picture, but there is some real depth to this item."

And here is a picture of a second movie mylar. This one is black, without the image. I don't know if it comes in both large and mini sizes, like the other mylar. I might not have explained what these are before. They are the banners that go above the theater door and are rare because they are usually thrown out after the movie goes away. They're obviously made of mylar.

Here is a picture of a set of promotional black-and-white stills from the movie. Here's the info:

"This set contains ten 8x10" promotional black & white press stills from the X-Files movie. This is a rare collection. These are full 8x10" photos. Many of the press kits have a few stills in them, but not all ten. These are also a bit different than the stills that are in many of the press kits."

I'll end today's news with some rumors on episodes 7 and 8. "Rain King," episode 7, will be about Mulder and Scully going to a high-school reunion, but apparently neither of theirs. "The Ghosts That Stole Christmas" will be a Mulder-Scully relationship episode that takes place on Christmas Eve (I guess a year after Scully found out that she had a daughter). It only has four characters, including the two agents. Apparently 6 out of the first 8 episodes will be comedy. The exceptions would be "The Beginning" and "Drive."

It seems that no one knew (or cared) about the October 16 Divx release of the movie. Here is the cover. The LaserDisc release date was changed to November 10 from the 11th. I also got pictures of a black-and-white photo from the movie press kit (which also includes color slides, which I didn't mention before), the second video poster, and the screensaver CD. About the video posters, I think there may be 4 in all, not 3. I know about the first 2 because I have pictures of both. One picture is above. The first is the one that says "20 MILLION X-FILES FANS KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT 1013." But if you read the news from a few days ago, you'll see that I thought that the 2nd poster (actually just the video cover with text on it; the picture is above) was different from the video cover, and I had a picture to prove it. I still don't know where the picture came from, so I think it may be the 4th poster, now that I know what the 2nd poster looks like. The third poster? I posted the description here a few days ago. It differed obviously from any of the other posters. Gee, I love logic.

The official French site just had a major update, a day after I announced it! If you didn't see the "old" version, don't worry, you didn't miss anything. The site now has pictures of poster C and poster D, in French. The poster D image is most likely computer-generated, not the real thing. This picture looks a little more convincing. I also got the French version of trailer C, in the Media section. The site now has a bunch of new things, such as a contest and affiliates, even 4 X-Files movie postcards made by the French postal service! See the Info and Merchandise sections for pictures and info. Oh yeah, just thought I'd mention that the Where's Your Mustache? milk ads in the Archive section are most likely fake. They're still hilarious.

I knew there had to be one! The French movie site: www.combattrelefutur.com. It includes the French-language versions of the posters and trailers. They're a hoot if you're not French. I also found a British-sized movie poster and U.K. versions of the trailers at the official British site. All these international media can be found in the...Media...section. The posters are in the Merchandise section. And what's this? Episode 6X03, "Ghost Ship," is really called "Triangle." And it's been confirmed that the episode will be in widescreen. I also confirmed the November 17 release date of the Collector's Gift Set. Here is HarperPrism's reply about my questions on two books that were canceled and the old cover of The Making of The X-Files:

"The X-Files Confidential Folio and The X-Files Feature Film Scriptbook were both canceled and never published. Online bookstores often list early information about page count and show early versions of covers and then do not have the opportunity to update the information when the final book is available. It is not unusual for this kind of information to change during the process of writing and publishing the book."

10/19/98

Okay, here's the info everyone's been waiting for:

"The DVD version of the movie gets released on February 9th, and is going to be loaded with cool extras. Not only will there be a secondary audio track with running commentary by Chris Carter and Rob Bowman (maybe Duchovny and Anderson, this is unconfirmed), and yes it will have all the extras that the VHS version has (extra WMM scene, interviews), but it will carry additional deleted scenes (including an alternate ending!) not released in the VHS or LaserDisc versions! Now is that cool or what?? I can only imagine what the alternate ending could be.... [Note: This is the scene between Mulder and CSM.] This is definite, confirmed by Fox...according to the latest issue of Video Store Magazine."

Not bad! Here is a picture of the projection made by the "firefly" projector. This is the projector itself. And there is ANOTHER poster, but this time it's for the busts by Legends in 3 Dimensions, and it features some cool artwork. Here's the picture. And I got a picture of the lithograph given away with the video.

The pay-per-view release is November 27. Also, here is Borders.com's reply to my questions about The Making of The X-Files cover and The X-Files Confidential Folio:

"Our listing of the page count in Duncan's The Making of The X-Files is incorrect. The correct listing is 128. I think the graphic might be from the young adult version of this title. On the publisher's website, they show the published artwork for both books, but the graphic on our site looks like it might be a young adult version. I've forwarded the correct information on to our corrections staff.... Unfortunately, I have no information about The X-Files Confidential Folio. It may be a future release, or it may have been dropped by the publisher."

Well, I'm expecting a reply from HarperPrism soon. The graphic isn't from the junior version, although it could be an earlier version of the junior book cover, as opposed to an earlier versin of the regular book cover. Who knows??

I got some miscellaneous info about "Ghost Ship" from SpoilerVille: The events will take place simultaneously in 1939 and 1998. There are rumors that it was shot in widescreen! Also, Stephen King's episode "Night of the Living Dead" will be in season 7, not 6. And Stephen King might not be the only popular person working on The X-Files: Steven Spielberg is rumored to be directing an episode! It wouldn't be about aliens, and he might work under a pseudonym. And about the two-parter ending season 6: It will involve the timetable for colonization being stepped up.

I got some great information about some movie cast and crew-only memorabilia from Treegate from the Emerald City Poster Company. In addition to the long-sleeve henley shirt and t-shirt, there is a short-sleeve henley shirt, a flight bomber jacket, and a wool hat. The short-sleeve henley says "The X-Files" on the front breast and "Blackwood" on the back. The logo is that from the series. The bomber jacket has "The X-Files" on the front breast, and "The X-Files Movie" on the back. Both logos are from the series, and "Movie" is in red. The hat is like a baseball cap but wool, and says "The X-Files" on the front and "Blackwood" on the back. In addition to these items, I got information about the VIP theatrical standee and the "firefly" projector. The standee is the same as the one normally seen in theaters (poster D with lighting from the back) but has a Plexiglas finish. It was only given to VIPs, not theaters. The "firefly" projector is something that large theaters use to project words on walls promoting the movie. The words spin around. Pictures coming soon. Here is complete information on the U.S. movie press kit:

"This is the press kit that was sent out only to movie reviewers and members of the entertainment media. Features 6 black-and-white photos from the movie, with each photo containing two smaller photos for a total of 12 images. Also comes with a production booklet all enclosed in an illustrated folder."

The Emerald City Poster Company has all of the above items for sale. They are RARE!!!!!!!! I've bought from them before and I recommend them.

And what do you know????!!! There's yet ANOTHER TWO posters for the movie. The first is an in-store promo poster! Cool.... The second is a THIRD video promo poster! Read this description. It doesn't fit any previous posters.

"It is red in color and has Scully's and Mulder's faces on the left half and on the right there is a boy holding a skull skyward. The only text on the poster is the title across the center and the usual movie info on the bottom."

Anyway, here is a picture of the action figure 3-pack, a rare promo item for the movie's release. It has Mulder and Scully in suits and the attack alien. And I can't resist showing everyone this Italian poster D. Cool! It seems that in foreign countries the posters said "The X-Files Movie" (in whatever language, including English) to clarify that it's a movie. And lookie here, it's the cover of The Making of The X-Files. But wait a minute! It's not the same! At Borders.com, that is the picture given for the cover of the book, although that's not the right one. My guess is that it's an earlier version. But the strange thing is that the site lists the number of pages as 160, while my book has 127. That's weird. Maybe the original book had 160 pages and a different cover, and a bunch of pages were edited out and the cover changed, and Borders.com never changed their site. That's the only thing I can think of. Does anyone know anything about this?

I just figured it out! This picture, which I originally thought was an "alternate" picture of the video box, is actually the second promo poster!! And finally: I have a picture of the billboard!! Also...I updated the Info section by adding a subsection called Miscellaneous Info. The info and the billboard picture are from The X-Files In-Jokes List. And this just in: Episode 8 will be called "The Ghosts That Stole Christmas," not "Xeox Pur Soli."

When I preordered my collector's gift set at Suncoast today, the guy said that they wouldn't be in until November 17!! He said they might have been delayed. Kind of sucks.... Anyway, I just dug up some assorted season 6 rumors. We'll go back to Scully's abduction and she'll learn more about it. Darin Morgan wants to do an episode where we learn about another person on "The Blessing Way"/"Paper Clip"'s photograph. William Gibson and Stephen King may write other episodes, and Harlan Ellison may write one too. Also, Chris Carter said this in the December Sci-Fi TV about Mulder and Scully in season 6: "'...It will be very hard for Mulder and Scully to prove what they witnessed or get anybody to listen to them. That will become part of their agenda now, getting people to listen to them and to take them seriously. That has always been Mulder’s thing, [though less so for] Scully, who has seen less.'" Here's another interesting excerpt:

"It looked as if WMM (JN) fell victim to a wrathful Syndicate when his limousine blew up. Is he really dead? 'Stay tuned,' CC replies with a mischievous laugh. Might audiences see more of AD Cassidy or Strughold in the future? 'I would hope so, but we had some very pricey movie stars in the film,' he notes. 'So, it’s a matter of money, time and desire on the parts of the actors.' And what of CSM and Mulder? A scene between them at the film’s end was dropped and re-shot because, during test screenings, non-fans expressed confusion as to why two characters who had no contact with each other during the film would suddenly converse. 'CSM has obviously decided to favor this "son" of his and, in doing so, has set up a political situation so that Mulder can survive,' CC notes. 'What CSM’s agenda is, what his motives are in furthering and fostering Mulder’s career are interesting, but still not established.'"

Here are the details on Stephen King's new episode:

"SK said in an interview with Stephen Jones in Shivers #58 that he likes the possibility of a George Romero-directed (second) SK-penned The X-Files episode to be titled 'Night Of The Living Dead,' in homage to Romero's classic. The opening scene will reportedly be almost identical to that film until the line 'Look, there's one of them now!' Instead of a zombie, there's Mulder. The woman begins to run away until a hand grabs her from beyond the grave, a la Carrie, and she dies of fright."

..."Chris Carter, in a recent interview on UK's The Big Breakfast, mentioned the possibility of SK writing another The X-Files episode with George Romero directing."

I forgot to mention that the video has the album TV spot on it, right after the movie. Here is the ad for the free 5-minute phone card you get when you buy the video at Blockbuster. And, there are now 3 previews that have aired so far on Fox for season 6. The first was quick and had no narration until the end, and the second two were much longer.

You know those free postcards you can pick up at music stores that advertise different things? Well--you guessed it--there are two of these made for the movie. Here is the first one and here is the second one. You can also send e-mail postcards with those two images at the official site. In other news, Dean Haglund said in an interview that the Lone Gunmen would be in episodes 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11 so far. Not bad!! Also, Chris Carter said that we won't discover what happened to Samantha next season. Which probably means that we won't find out what happened to the real Samantha until season 7. Other rumors say that we'll find out (for the second time for those who read the movie novelization or have the video) why she was taken in season 6. And, yes, Scully did see the spaceship at the end of the movie. In the video you can distinctly hear her say "I saw it."

Oh yeah, here is a picture of a new piece of merchandise (well, not really new). (And not really merchandise.) It is a CD-ROM distributed by Symantec to computer companies. It has the screensaver, and screensaver only, so it's different than the Sunday Times CD. And here is a clarification on that. The Sunday Times CD is the same as the "album/screensaver promo" CD that I was talking about. I'd said before that they're different, because of conflicting reports from people who have it, but the reports were just inaccurate. See the Merchandise section for details. Also, for a new Internet banner ad for the "X-Files Fight the Future Adventure" video contest, see the Media section.

I knew it!! There is a new official site for the videos: www.foxhome.com/fightthefuture/!!! Check it out, it's really cool, almost better than the official movie site. It's got a screensaver, different than the one from the British site. It also has a cool contest that actually requires you to have some brains. And the latest DVD news is that it will come out in February 1999! Here's the rumor:

"February should see (best of all) The X-Files. This will reportedly be a special edition disc, with a commentary track and additional deleted scenes (including an alternate ending!) not released in the VHS or LaserDisc versions! How cool is that?"

Very cool. Also, I got some more official promo pictures on the Movie Pictures page. And here is a better picture of the widescreen box.

Anyway, there are two, not just one, video posters. Here's an accurate description of a video poster, and it obviously differs from the other one from yesterday:

"The poster has the same photo that is on the video box and it states "OWN THE ULTIMATE X-FILES EXPERIENCE THE X-FILES ONLY ON VIDEO." The poster measures 27x40"."

Also, a 5x7" lithograph was given out to buyers of FTF on video. It didn't come in the box like the card, it was given out separately by stores. There are rumors of a t-shirt given away. Any info on this? Is it a new shirt made for the video release??

1013! 1013! Happy birthday Chris Carter!!!!! And YOU, yes I'm talking to YOU, go out and buy the video! Unless you're like me and waiting until 11/2, when the Collector's Gift Set comes out. Anyway, a poster was made for the video release. Click here to see it. Also made for advertising the video were "video window slicks." Here's a description:

"The store window displays are the ones that stick to the windows on either side, but there is no sticky residue. They use static to attach themselves. These posters measure 9x14" and depict the same picture as the button."

And there can never be a release without a press kit. Here's the info for that:

"This press kit for the X-Files movie's video release contains 2 black-and-white 8x10" stills, 4 color slides and some production information in a decorated card envelope."

And I will close my 1013 scoop by saying that the rumors are that Chris Carter himself will direct the next movie. Now, go see the movie for the 50th time!

There is a rumor that Monica Lewinsky--not the real one--may make an appearance on a future episode. Apparently there is a search going on for Lewinsky look-alikes. I'm not going to ask.... Anyway, here is a cool picture of a Japanese promo mini-poster. These were 7x10" and had the image from poster E. This is the German press kit--not what you would have expected. Here's an explanation:

"German press kit. Different than U.S. press kits. In Europe they use program books similar to what we used to purchased in the theaters in the '50s or what you currently purchase at concerts. The program has 37 pages and numerous photos. Very well done. Picture shows cover of program and one inside page with David. Very hard to find. Distributed only in Germany and was available only to the press...not to the public."

There will be a special-edition jumbo-sized card that comes with the videos of the movie. The front has an alien, and the back has something on the Well-Manicured Man. It isn't numbered, and no information is available about the makers of the card. Also, here is a picture of the promotional button for the video release. Here and here are pictures of the original printer proofs for the newspaper ads the day before the movie came out. These were also made for opening day and the day after (which were the same ads used on subsequent days). And here is a picture of the advance screening ticket in Australia. Pretty cool!

Upcoming episode news.... Episode 19 will be Duchovny's baseball story. Apparently, Mulder and Scully will be reassigned to the X-Files in episode 9. Also, an upcoming episode will be set in Roanoke, Virginia about "children of the devil."

And bad news for those who can't wait until the sequel: Rob Bowman himself has said that it would be unrealistic to film the movie this summer, and to look for the movie to come out in 2 1/2 to 3 years. But remember, Trust No One and hope for the best!!

It's here: the TV spot for the movie video release! It was on during X2 today twice. It begins with Mulder saying "What are they?" and then Kurtzweil replying: "What do you think?" The ad mentions www.foxhome.com as the official Web site, but nothing about the X-Files movie has been added yet. This is the same clip that was at the beginning of one of the movie TV spots that was never archived on the official site. See the news for 7/10/98 (in the News Archive page) for more info. I had mentioned that TV spot, but had forgotten what Kurtzweil said. Also, I saw the season 6 promo. It looks sooooo good! The season 6 ads are being shown during Millennium. Speaking of the video release, I wonder if The X-Files will be released on Divx? Fox supports the standard. Anyone know anything about this?

There is a rumor that episode 7 might be called "Rain King" instead of "Weary Men." And, the maquette ad I mentioned yesterday is also in the latest official X-Files magazine, along with a third ad for the statues. Again, if anyone could scan these, that would be great!

It's official: Chris Carter will be executive producer of Harsh Realm. The details:

"Chris Carter will produce and write a new Fox series for fall 1999, based on James Hudnall’s comic Harsh Realm, published by Harris Comics in the early ’90s. The sci-fi drama is set in a future where personal pocket universes created for entertainment are so real they can kill you. A detective is hired to find a teenager who has gone into a world based on sword-and-sorcery role-playing."

I just found a slew of official sites, from the Mulder and Scully Barbie page to the official German site, including a bunch of German contests and stuff. I even found another mirror site for the official U.S. site: www.thexfilesmovie.com. The German site is basically the U.S. site translated to German, with a few strange quirks. It lists a store where people can buy X-Files posters, while Fox has been forcing fan sites to remove such info from their pages. Go check out the Info section for all the sites. Back to other news....

I've added a new graphic from the movie premiere chat at Yahoo! Movies to the Movie Pictures page. I added Yahoo! Movies' page on the movie premiere events to the Links section, also. Banners from Yahoo! Movies' and E! Online's premiere events are also in the Media section.

Anyway, here is a picture of the advance promo CD for the album. It contained the same tracks, but didn't have any of the cover graphics. Also, I saw an ad for the alien maquette in the latest Cinescape magazine. If anyone could scan it in, that would be great!! I also heard about a radio ad currently being aired for the video release. I know it's implausible that anyone could record it, but it would be pretty cool.

Just a reminder, The X-Files is now available for sale, to be delivered on 10/13, from Reel.com.

I got some very helpful information from the folks at RaveCentral about another (apparently) recalled book from the movie. It's called The X-Files Confidential Folio, by Chris Carter. Here is the info they sent me:

"The X-Files Confidential Folio by Chris Carter (ISBN 006107506X) was published in 9/98 by HarperPrism. No bookstore online in the U.S. seem to have it in stock. I checked Acses (a great comparison shopping place if you are ever buying books in the future) and they listed it for sale at a German bookstore but I didn't take enough German in school to know if they say they have it in stock."

And, my basic knowledge of German and AltaVista's (unhelpful) translation services still leave me uncertain, leaning toward the "not in stock" direction.... If anyone is interested, here is the link to the German bookstore.

Here is a picture of 16 4.5x7.5" scenes from the movie, on both sides of a 9-paneled strip. The 9th panel on both sides is the movie logo. The strip is designed to look like a film strip, and was made for promotional use. And here is a picture of the movie adaptation audio book.

Also, there was an EXPO CD-ROM given out to non-Fan Club members. It seems similar to the Fan Club version (see yesterday), and has the same things on it. Also, here is information on the soundtrack promo t-shirt:

"It is burgundy, XL, and tough to find. It was put out by the record company to promote the X-Files movie soundtrack. The front says, 'Ask Me About X-Files The Album,' with the 'X' logo and 'Fight the Future.' Back features the same logo with a list of groups from the album. It also says 'Film Opens June 19.'"

Here is some information on a CD-ROM given out to Fan Club members during the EXPO tour:

"Very rare!! This was made available to Fan Club members ONLY! The X-Files EXPO Tour 1998 CD features exclusive coverage of live EXPO events, a sneak peak of the X-Files CD-ROM game from Fox Interactive, a movie trailer of the X-Files film plus 50 free hours from AOL! This CD is on its original card and still shrink-wrapped!"

Plus, I got a bunch of new merchandise info and pictures. In addition to the 9 11x14" lobby cards listed in the Merchandise section, I've added: 7 5x7" promo pictures, 8 8x10" German lobby cards, and 4 12x16.5" German lobby cards. I only have pictures so far of the first 9 lobby cards, the 7 promo pictures, and 2 of the first 8 German lobby cards. Plus, I've found pictures of a press pass to the album premiere party, better pictures of the X-Files mini poster (2 sizes) and poster series postcards, the movie crew t-shirt, a Polish-language version of Poster E (!!!), a special-edition movie premiere t-shirt, the cover of a copy of the original movie script, the cardboard soundtrack display, the two journals, the two sticker sets, four different color schemes of the Fireman Victim with Cryolitter, the press kit, the "One" by Filter promo CD, and the soundtrack music store promo strip. From the picture of the postcards I discovered that a graphic that I originally thought was an ad for the movie's video release was actually a doctored image of the Poster D postcard. To see the image, go to The Wire and see the article on the video release. Here are the pictures:

Also, here is some information on the U.S. press kit. I don't think it's complete, but it's a start:

"This press kit includes 2 8x10" black-and-white stills and a nice bound 26-page booklet containing information about the movie, production notes, and biographies."

And here's some extensive information on the U.K. press kit:

"This is a rare U.K. X-Files movie press kit. It comes in two parts. Part 1 is a white A4-size folder with the 20th Century Fox logo on the front. Inside there are 2 8x10" size b/w photos. Each one containing 2 pictures/photos from the film (4 smaller ones in total). There are 2 booklets inside also. No. 1 is 16 pages in length and contains the cast information including the names of the makeup artists right through to the model makers, etc. No. 2 is 27 pages long and contains information about the television series all the way through to cast information such as who they are and what they did prior to being in the movie. The second part of this kit is difficult to describe. It is a black square 9x9" which opens up into a cross (a bit like a plus sign: '+'). On the four points there are the movie posters in color and in the middle there is the 'Fight the Future' logo and pictured around the edge are images from the movie. There is also text on the left-hand top corner of this. When it is opened up the cross is 25" in length and 25" across. Printed on the back is the full list of cast and crew members again. The U.K. press kit does NOT contain any slides but is the full U.K. press kit."
