Duchovny On 'The TV Set'
December 28, 2005
The world of TV development is the target of a new satire from
'Orange County' and 'Zero Effect' director JAKE KASDAN, and ET is on
the set with stars DAVID DUCHOVNY and SIGOURNEY WEAVER!
"Jake's really written a comical kind of view -- although heartfelt
and sad -- about what happens to a guy's story that means something
to him," David tells ET, "and then it gets thrown through the chute
of networks and producers and it comes out a different kind of a
beast altogether."
In the movie, hitting theaters in 2006, David plays Mike Klein, a
man who sells his TV pilot to a network. But once the initial
excitement wears off, the path to production takes a tumble down the
rabbit hole of dimwitted, micro-managing TV execs (Sigourney and
'Fantastic Four' star IOAN GRUFFUDD) and a manager ('Elizabethtown''s
JUDY GREER) whose only loyalty is to whatever show gets on the air.
With a pregnant wife, a spendthrift mother and mounting expenses,
can Mike maintain his vision? Or is it more important just to keep
his baby in diapers?
David sports a bushy new beard in the movie, a look that's the
result of a compromise, explains the former "X-Files" star. "[Jake
and I] were talking about [my character], and he said, 'Will you
gain 20 pounds?' and I said, 'I'll just grow a beard,'" he reveals.
"It keeps on getting thicker. Throughout the movie it's going to
have a different look ... My wife [TЙA LEONI] doesn't like it much."
Sigourney, whose own father was a well-known TV executive, says she
used little of her real-life experience to draw from. "My father
wanted to put ballet and opera on television, and 'The Today Show'
and 'The Tonight Show,' so I have not been able to use my father for
this at all," she says. "He was not interested in the bottom line in
a way my character is. I'm interested in absolutely the ratings and
that's about it, and certainly I'm very enthusiastic about playing
to the lowest common denominator in every single timeslot during the
whole week."
As for the reality shows her faux network airs, Sigourney shares her
concern that they may one day become the real deal. "I worry that
networks are actually going to steal some of our fake show ideas,
like 'Slut Wars' and 'The World's Grossest Meals,'" she says with a
smile. "I mean, these are shows that someone might actually want to
watch. They certainly are maybe slightly worse than what's already
on the air."
