LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David Duchovny has signed on to star opposite Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro in DreamWorks' drama "Things We Lost in the Fire."
Penned by Allan Loeb, the story centers on a woman (Berry) whose husband (Duchovny) suddenly dies. The woman invites her husband's troubled best friend (Del Toro) to live with her family, and as the friend turns his life around, he helps the grief-stricken family confront their loss. Duchovny will appear in flashbacks.
Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, whose credits include "Brothers" and the Dogme-certified "Open Hearts," will direct "Fire," which is scheduled to start filming next month.
Actor-writer-director Duchovny recently acquired the life rights of Linda Brewer, who provided for her family by hosting passion parties and selling sex toys out of her car throughout the Bible Belt. Duchovny's wife, Tea Leoni, is attached to star as the Arkansas woman. Duchovny will produce the film for Touchstone Pictures and Beacon Pictures.
Duchovny's upcoming screen work includes roles in Fox Searchlight's ensemble comedy "Trust the Man," written and directed by Bart Freundlich; Jake Kasdan's "The TV Set," opposite Sigourney Weaver; and "The Secret," a thriller helmed by Vincent Perez.
