Shock: At this point in the game, has your working relationship with Gillian changed much from the series? Duchovny: Yeah, it's probably different in that we're not exhausted all of the time. We're excited to come and do what we think is the heart of the relationship. So, we'll do these scenes that are action-oriented with Billy Connelly but then we come back to scenes like the one we're doing today - and this is where the heart is, where the movie is. Then we have to trust each other to hold each other up in these scenes and bring back whatever was there.
Shock: Is there still a sense of discovery in this journey or is it business as usual with you and Gillian back in the groove? Duchovny: I think there's a real sense that we don't want to cash in on the past. We all want to do something new, we don't want to throw a piece of crap out there for people to go look at for nostalgia's sake. I wonder and worry, how did [Mulder] change in the last five years? When I started, there was a certain boyishness to the guy I don't feel I can play anymore physically. Like Mel Gibson's Hamlet, yeah it was a good performance but the guy was twenty years too old. There are certain things energy-wise. How has he grown up? Remaining the same, how do you ease him into a different stage in his life? That's a creative endeavor, certainly with Chris, directing a big movie like this which is different from anything he has done.
Shock: Has your dialogue with Chris changed much? Duchovny: Oh yeah, I have ways I like to work and he has ways he likes to work and they're not always the same. With respect, and privately, we deal with it. That's a matter of getting older, too, and of being a professional. It happens privately. And it's not a big deal, it's like telling a lover, That finger there, that wasn't great. [laughs] I know a lot of people like it, but me personally, that's not me, just so you know. I know how I like to work now, I know how I like the director's hands on me.
Shock: Does this film strike a balance between the shout-outs to the series and new stuff for those who have never seen the show? Duchovny: I'm not a fan of the shout-outs, but in this they're small, like Where's Waldo? things. I think this movie is actually more accessible to the non-fan in terms of story and everything else. In terms of this water bottle maybe having the name of one of our producers on it, this movie probably has a ton of those things, but I'm not even paying attention. Sometimes I'll see them and go, That's stupid. [laughs] But there's a lot of that going on and it's fun for people.
Shock: There was some exhaustion on the fanbase's behalf as the series entered its final seasons, do you think the film will lure them back? Duchovny: I don't know. You know there were nine years of one-hours. I can't think of another show that did that with the same cast, although I wasn't in most of the ninth year. You look at any drama, any long-running drama, and they don't run that long normally. So, the exhaustion is mutual. [laughs] But I would think in the good will of trying to tell new stories you ultimately reach further in all directions. Probably by the seventh or eight years, the writers were forced to reach and I think there are fans who sit on that moment and wait for that sign of creative bankruptcy which has to come, naturally. A show like this is idea-driven, it's not like, Oh, we've got good jokes, you'll watch. It's not like a sitcom that can run twelve years. If they were exhausted, and they fell in love with the show for the characters and the premise, for the execution and the writing, then that's what we're back to. This is more of a story we would have told in season three or four.
Shock: How scary does this movie get? When those early seasons you refer to went for scary, they were scary... Duchovny: It gets scary. It's pretty dark, there's some nasty stuff going on. In a way you could do more on TV. Some of those TV shows were getting close to an R, but I know the mission is to make a PG-13 film. It's more of the ideas behind it. What is Saw, rated R?
Shock: Yeah. Duchovny: That should be X. This movie has some danger in there. Twisted, weird - there's no torture. To me Saw doesn't have a point, it's some guy teaching people a lesson, through torture. X-Files was never about the nasty stuff, but hopefully there was a story with a purpose. We'll torture for a reason, like the American government. [laughs]
Shock: I'm just curious if the film leans into my favorite episode which was Home. Duchovny: There's some of that, but I don't know how much of that you'll see, but it's in the story. You'll come away with, Wow, that's what you were doing? Home is probably the most controversial show we ever made and it was pulled out of rotation and yet it's one of maybe four or five shows somebody always brings up. Obviously, people have enjoyed that part of the show also.
Shock: There's always been a place for humor with Mulder's dry wit. Does the new film feature any laughs? Duchovny: There's a place for it, I was always looking for a place in the TV show and it's an essential part of the character so I certainly always look for those moments. We've done them here, but whether or not they stay in the film, it's always a matter of juggling the tone. In the show, it was, Is Mulder going to deflate the danger of the scene? In my opinion, it never did, but Chris and the writers and producers have different ideas, so I don't know. I like to have some funny stuff in there.
Shock: When old episodes of the show come on, do you watch them or flee? Duchovny: I don't flee. I don't seek them out. I'm not an appointment television watcher. I'm a child of the '70s television watcher which is, I sit down in front of it and if something is on I'll watch it, so I'm sometimes open to watching an X-Files if I'm flipping around. I don't TiVo, I'm not silly that way. If something comes on, if I'm in bed with [wife] Téa, and we're just going to sleep watching ten minutes of TV we'll watch a bit.
Shock: Do you know of any major DVD extras that are planned for this film's release? Duchovny: Yes, a lot because I think there's a lot of extra gore. We're not just shooting a PG-13 version.
