From Entertainment Tonight

Interviewed by Bob Goen
Although the film is still so shrouded in secrecy that the title hasn't even
been announced, ET went on location in Vancouver with DAVID
DUCHOVNY to see if they could find out anymore information about the
super secret project set to open in theaters on June 19th. Also hear what
David's big plans are for the future! ET
Bob Goen: So, how long have you been up here since you've been in
L.A.? I mean, when was the last time you were home in Los Angeles?
David Duchovny: Since I was at home? Um. probably in L.A. about ten
days ago.
Bob: So, did you have a house here or what did you do?
David: Well, I mean, when I got the job five years ago, I was just
a bachelor without a lot of stuff. I wasn't nested in any significant way.
I had silverware and Pottery Barn stuff and that's what I brought up here.
No, I've got just like a few things from my possessions that will make the
transition into the house that Tea and I have.
Bob: Right, so now you're starting the nest at home with Tea?
David: Yes. She's pretty much feathered the nest. It's mostly her
stuff, and she has great stuff. It's very eclectic and it's been important
to her to get this stuff over the years- so she's been collecting. And I've
just been like, grabbing. You know, I'm just like- "Oh, I can sit on that.
They call that a chair. It's in my house." So most of the stuff is gone.
You know, I threw out like half of my wardrobe. I just threw out half of
it.
Bob: Was moving the show to L.A. your idea?
David: It's a long story. I mean, the story goes back five years when
one of my first concerns about doing the show was the fact that it shot out
of L.A. And every year that we stayed up there was year in which I said,
"Yeah, but weren't we talking about moving?" It was like they had a carrot
out in front of me the whole time , and it finally just got to the point
where I just had to go back home and just say, you know, you guys promised
at some point. So it's never been like the kind of thing where I got to Vancouver
and I said "My God, they're all Canadian!" and I had to go home- it's never
been anything personal- it's only been that eventually we would bring the
show back. And if I had been more active in that than Gillian that's probably
the case, but it's always like I seem to be going first. I mean, and they
like to attack men more than they like to attack women in these things. So
I'm the poster child for Big Bad America.
Bob: You're taking a honeymoon- what are you doing?
David: Well, I'm going to go do Saturday Night Live on May 9th and
then, so I'll be in New York actually, I won't be home. And then Tea who
will have to have gone to Europe to promote her new movie will meet me in
New York. On May 9th and from there we will go travel around the Northeast
or something. You know, in a little VW Microbus- that whole thing.
Bob: Is that what it's going to be?
David: No, I'm kidding. But hey, we got the Bug, I'm just waiting
for the Microbus to come back.
Bob: What are you going to do for a honeymoon?
David: I don't know. I don't know. I don't think of it as a honeymoon,
I just think we have time together. We still want to do the thing where I
want to show her certain things from my past. Even though we're both from
the same city, there are places in New York that I want to go to her with
and places in New Jersey and Massachusetts that she wants to take me to.
Certain things we want to share with each other geographically.
Bob: Can you tell us anything about the movie? Any secret, inside
stuff?
David: Seriously, I could not tell you what the movie was about. But
I can tell you that it's huge. I mean, it's huge. It's really. It's an action
movie. It's a great action film. It's really good. There's probably the most
interesting screen kiss that I can think of- and I say interesting. And that's
because the show is such that, you know, everybody in the movie wants the-
you know when you talk about the movie they want to know if you guys get
together physically. And it was handled in a really clever, and I think sexy,
and interesting way.
