“X-Files 2″ director Chris Carter was at the Paleyfest in Hollywood last night, where he showed off this second trailer for “The X-Files 2″, which is set to premiere along with “Iron Man” when it opens May 2nd, 2008. But hey, why wait that long? We have the bootleg trailer below. You see more of an interaction between Mulder and Scully (he goes to her for help, to join him on the hunt for whatever it is they’re hunting), saying, “I need you on this with me,” to which she replies, “That’s what scares me.” It does kinda look like they went on with their lives just fine after the series finale, and is only now coming back together.

Also, it seems that Carter was right, this looks like a standalone “X-Files” episode, which may or may not be a good thing. Will fans really respond to an “X-Files” movie without all the mythology background? We’ll just have to wait and see, I guess.

I have two videos of the same bootleg trailer below, just in case one gets pulled, because the studio has been going nuts yanking them off YouTube today.

“X-Files 2″ is scheduled for a July 25, 2008 return.

Also, is this the poster for “X-Files 2″? Maybe, maybe not. It’s probably fanmade, I would guess, because the bigger sites usually have the official posters first, and no one is saying peep about this one.
