Xzibit, no stranger to the filming studio thanks to MTV, has joined the cast of the upcoming X-Files movie. Amanda Peet and Billy Connolly are already signed on for supporting roles in the flick.
One source says the rapper and the movie star (Xzibit and Peet) will play FBI agents working with Scully and Mulder, the stars of the show and the film. The plot is being kept very hush-hush, and FOX is releasing very little information on which roles the actors will play. Xzibit has played roles in films before and was set to appear in the Oliver Stone film, Pinkville. The Pinkville project, however, has been scrapped because of the ongoing and seemingly unending writer’s strike.

Olive Stone and Woody Harrelson Re-Team
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: MGM, Drama, Casting, Celeb News,
When Woody Harrelson snagged the highly publicized role in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, Harrelson’s acting creds were hardly up to par. He’d appeared in a well-loved comedy TV series and a lighthearted basketball comedy, hardly roles that displayed his chops to play the murder-loving, law-breaking, hardcore killer that has now become a screen cultural icon. Stone said at the time that he saw murder in Harrelson’s eyes, a strange comment to make considering the actor’s father was serving a prison sentence.
Now, Stone is giving Harrelson another role in the gritty Vietnam War drama Pinkville. The United Artists flick will focus on the 1968 My Lai Massacre, where 500 people were killed by U.S. soldiers. Harrelson’s role is Col. Henderson, the officer leading the task force who committed the massacre. Pinkville won’t be Stone’s first foray into the Vietnam War, and he’ll direct a star-studded cast in the flick. Production is scheduled to start next year.
