DAVID DUCHOVNY - DAVID DUCHOVNY MAKES DIRECTING DEBUT

Chiselled former X-FILES detective DAVID DUCHOVNY will star alongside wife TEA LEONI in his writing and directing debut HOUSE OF D.

Production for the film is expected to begin in September (03), and funnyman ROBIN WILLIAMS will also star in the emotional fable about New York and the "sweeping power of friendship".

"In essence, this film is a very funny and poignant look at a classic rites-of-passage story," says OVATION ENTERTAINMENT chief executive officer RICHARD B LEWIS.

He will produce the movie about a man, played by Williams, coming to terms with his past and his present, and resolving his relationships with the people who helped make him who he is.
