He will also appear in the film alongside his wife,
Tea Leoni, and Robin Williams.
'House of D' is described as an emotional fable about
New York and the sweeping power of friendship.
It tells the multi-layered story of a man coming to
terms with his past and his present and resolving
his relationships with the people who helped make
him who he is.
Williams will play the lead character, with much of
the story being told through flashbacks to his childhood,
where he will be portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin ('Road
to Perdition').
'In essence, this film is a very funny and poignant
look at a classic rites-of-passage story', said Ovation
CEO Richard B. Lewis, who will serve as a producer.
While the project marks Duchovny's feature writing
and directing debut, he did write and direct several
episodes of 'The X-Files' during its lengthy run on
Fox. He next appears onscreen in the Universal Pictures
comedy 'Connie and Carla.'
Ovation Entertainment and Bob Yari Prods. have teamed
to finance and produce the film.
