Duchovny Saves The World

David Duchovny has confirmed that his next big screen project will be starring in Ivan 'Ghostbusters' Reitman's movie Evolution. It's an odd choice, given Duchovny's desire to move away from his X-Files persona, because once again he'll be working with aliens. Taking part in a French internet chat last week, Duchovny told his fans that 'Evolution has been official for several days. I've signed with Dreamworks. It's a comedy about aliens - but then you probably know that already.' Filming will begin in a few weeks. 'That's when Julianne [Moore] will have finished filming Hannibal.' Despite the subject matter, Duchovny believes he's made the right choice in joining this cast. 'In Evolution I play a Professor who is charged with saving the world from agressive aliens,' he explains. 'I think that it's a transition that will take me away from the X-Files towards other roles.' He goes further to dash fans' hopes that their hero will return in a future series by saying, 'I think it will be difficult to do another series since people will always remember my work in the X-Files. I think its the best time to turn the page and do something else.' It's a busy old time for Duchovny having to juggle several projects at the same time, as well as deal with offers from the likes of George Lucas. Duchovny confirms that Lucas did call him about Episode 3. 'I'm a fan of Star Wars,' he says, 'but I'm not sure of having the time to act in it... I've got tons of projects in production after the X-Files series.'
