'X-Files' star David Duchovny has completed rehabilitation treatment for sex addiction and is preparing for work on a new film, the actor's lawyer told People magazine Tuesday.
Duchovny, who has relaunched his career in recent years by playing a womanizing writer in the television series "Californication", voluntarily entered a treatment program in August.
"David is out of rehab and about to start a new movie. He successfully completed his treatment," Duchovny's lawyer Stanton Stein told People.
Duchovny, 48, has been married to actress Tea Leoni since 1997. The couple have two children.
According to entertainment industry press, Duchovny is due to star in "The Joneses" alongside Demi Moore, a comedy about a fake family put together by a marketing company as a way of introducing luxury goods to their neighborhood.

'X-Files' star Duchovny completes sex addiction treatment
martes, 7 de octubre de 2008 | Etiquetas: David Duchovny, X Files
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reunite as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the 20th Century Fox project “X-Files: I Want to Believe,” the newly confirmed title of the upcoming film.
Twentieth Century has confirmed that the title for its upcoming feature based on Chris Carter’s cult TV show will be “The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” reports Variety. The slogan was featured massively in the series and appeared on a poster adorning Mulder’s cluttered office.
Both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are reprising their roles as Mulder and Scully, as they did for the 1998 film adaptation “The X-Files: Fight the Future.”
The film opens July 25. Carter directed from a script he co-wrote with Frank Spotnitz.
Last month, the series’ creator was engagingly mysterious at the 25th annual William S. Paley Television Festival, where he revealed a trailer for the much-anticipated film but was less-than-generous with additional details.
When asked about the sequel’s title, Carter answered, “I know what I want it to be, but Fox has ideas of their own,” as quoted by the Hollywood Reporter. “I know what it should be.”
It has only been revealed that the film picks up six years after the end of the series and that it is not based on the alien mythology theme of the TV series but rather focuses on the standalone “Monster-of-the-Week” kind of episodes.
“It will not be a mythology movie, but it’s true to everything that’s come before,” Spotnitz assured the audience. “It’s true to Mulder and Scully, who they are and where they would be this point in their lives and all of the experiences that they’ve had.”
The finished trailer will debut in movie theaters along with Iron Man on May 2, a Fox spokesman told SCI FI Wire.

Filmmakers drop clues about "X-Files" movie sequel
viernes, 28 de marzo de 2008 | Etiquetas: X Files
Ten years after the last "X-Files" movie hit theaters, the team behind the hit sci-franchise is tossing out some tidbits about the sequel, currently scheduled for release on July 25.
The film, which has not yet been named, will mark the return of David Duchovny as Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Scully, two FBI agents who investigate the paranormal.
It is being directed by Chris Carter, creator of the series that ran on Fox from 1993 to 2002.
"I know what I want it to be, but Fox has ideas of their own," Carter said of the title. "I know what it should be."
What he and co-writer Frank Spotnitz did reveal Wednesday during the 25th annual William S. Paley Television Festival, was the trailer. It featured lots of snow, running, a large syringe and a helicopter.
The film will pick up six years after the end of the series. It's supposed to be a standalone feature removed from the alien mythology of the TV show, a throwback to the show's "monster of the week" episodes. Still, some lingering aspects from the series, like whether Scully's child will be a normal tyke, will be addressed.
"It will not be a mythology movie, but it's true to everything that's come before," said Spotnitz.

'X-Files' marks the spot: 07-25-08
jueves, 1 de noviembre de 2007 | Etiquetas: Dana Scully, David Duchovny, Fox Mulder, Gillian Anderson, X Files
The truth will be out there on July 25, 2008.
Fans of the "X-Files" will finally get to see FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully back on the big screen five years after the cult horror television series ended, and a decade after the franchise's first movie earned $187 million at the box office worldwide.
"X-Files" creator Chris Carter has brought back the two stars of the show, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, to reprise their roles. The movie will begin filming in December in Vancouver.
The show became a hit for Fox from 1993-2002, but angered many fans when it's mythology - about a secret conspiracy between the government and invading aliens - became convoluted and unresolved.
"All Chris says is that he wants to make a really scary horror, like a stand-alone episode," Anderson, told Britain's Empire magazine regarding the upcoming movie. "I don't think they're interested in touching on any of the conspiracy stuff."
