Today, Duchovny shows no signs of slowing down. This month alone, he’s promoting two very distinct projects. First up is The Estate, a dark comedy in which a family of truly terrible people (Duchovny, Toni Collette, Anna Faris, Ron Livingston, and Rosemarie DeWitt) attempt to win over their terminally ill aunt (Kathleen Turner) in the hopes of becoming beneficiaries to her wealth. In the film, which is in theaters now and on demand November 22, Duchovny plays Richard, a laid-back dimwit who expresses a creepy fondness for his cousin Macey (Collette).
On the other end of the spectrum is Kepler, Duchovny’s first graphic novel, which comes out on December 27. Co-written with and illustrated by Phillip Sevy, the book is a Planet of the Apes-esque “allegorical thriller of environmental disaster, colonialism, religion, history, and adolescence,” according to the publisher. Or, as Duchovny describes it, “a human coming-of-age story with a different hominid.”
