Three new “X-Files 2″ images have surfaced on the Internet. Some are official stills that FOX has released and some may not be — I really have no idea, since the “X-Files 2″ movie has been so closely guarded, to the point of being detrimental to the film in my opinion. To be honest with you, I don’t know why they’re playing so hard to get, especially for a movie based on a TV show that many people stopped watching a long time ago.

In any case, there are a couple of nice ones, including our first official look at rapper Xzibit, who plays an FBI agent (if you can believe that) in the movie. Another picture has Mulder and Scully looking very comfortable (below), and seems like something out of a magazine photoshoot instead of a still from the “X-Files 2″ movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be the case later on.

In any case, “X-Files 2: I Want to Believe” opens July 25, 2008.
