In the second season, Duchovny shared story credit with the show's creator and executive producer Chris Carter on two episodes, "Colony" and "Anasazi" (on the latter he also participated in the plot breakdown). Other episodes for which he received story credit include third season's "Avatar" and fourth season's "Talitha Cumi."
Several seasons went by before he began thinking about actually writing a
script of his own. "I didn't have the surety, the confidence in my mind that
I could write a teleplay," Duchovny said.
To read the rest go here.
Here's the scoop: Earlier this season, Carter — still under the impression that Duchovny had washed his hands of Mulder for good (at least on the small screen) approached the Evolution star about directing the April 28 episode. His response floored Carter and fellow X-ecutive producer Frank Spotnitz. Not only was Duchovny interested, but, "He had suggested that he act in the episode as well, which was a big surprise to us," Spotnitz reveals. "We certainly didn't expect that."
However, before a deal was cinched, Carter decided to end the series in May. And when that happened, the priority shifted to coaxing Duchovny back for the two-part finale. "And what became uncertain at that point was whether David would still co-write, direct and act in [the April 28] show. So, the final outcome, as you well know, is that he is going to act in the [series finale] and co-write, direct, but not act in [the April 28] episode."
Natch, we have to ask: What's with Duchovny's seemingly dramatic change of
heart? As it is, back in November, Spotnitz himself put the odds of Mulder
returning at slim to none. "My impression from talking to him was that he
still cares about the show," offers the exec. "He's still invested in it and
certainly cares about [Mulder]. And I think he recognized that it was the
best thing for the show and the audience [for him] to come back and give
closure to nine years of the series. I think we all agree on that."
"The truth is, it would be impossible to answer all of the questions people might have," executive producer Frank Spotnitz tells TV Guide Online. "More than answering questions, the [final episode will be] about giving meaning to the story that we've told for the past nine years — giving closure not just to the hard plot of The X-Files, but to the lives of the characters."
Still, Spotnitz, who is mapping out the series finale with X-Files
creator Chris Carter, concedes that tackling the drama's myriad of
unsolved mysteries (Gibson Praise, those pesky bees, Scully's hairdos) will
be tricky. "If you're really a fanatical viewer, the important questions have
already been answered," he says. "But because most people aren't fanatical
viewers, we're going to retell some things, and I suppose some new answers
will come out.
Spotnitz added, "It's a Chris Carter series, so I can afford to be immodest,
because I really do think it's a landmark show. And I think it will hold up
for quite a number of years, because it had huge ambition both in terms of
production and in terms of storytelling, and really achieved a high level of
quality. I think it tried to be very smart and very adult, and that's why it
reached so many people. Especially for what is essentially a genre show.
Shows like this don't usually reach top-10 audiences or win Emmys and things
like that. And I think people responded to what was our best effort to
deliver a really high-quality show week in and week out. It's been a great
experience." The X-Files airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT and will complete its
nine-year run in May.
``We were set to come out in March and then Miramax came to me with the idea of an anniversary opening, which I found pretty appealing,'' Soderbergh said. ``This is in large part because, if I were to make 'sex, lies, and videotape' today, 'Full Frontal' is very much the form it would take.''
``Full Frontal'' stars David Duchovny, Nicky Katt, Catherine Keener, Mary McCormack, David Hyde Pierce, Julia Roberts and Blair Underwood. Set in Los Angeles, it's the story of seven people with very little in common who are about to come together in a way they never expected. Like ``Day For Night,'' this is a movie about movies for people who love movies. ``Full Frontal'' is written by Coleman Hough and produced by Scott Kramer and Gregory Jacobs.
``'sex, lies, and videotape' was a pioneering film that helped define
Miramax's taste and commitment to independent film and the filmmaker's
vision,'' said Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of Miramax. ``What I love most
about ''Full Frontal`` is that it continues this tradition, but takes it in
new directions that reflect Steven's passions and undeniably wide-ranging talents. We're thrilled to be a part of it, and we love bringing it to audiences on such an auspicious anniversary.''
