Writer DavidDuchovny talks his new graphic novel Kepler, TheXFiles, and more.
Having played Agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files for multiple decades, David Duchovny is intrinsically linked with some of the best sci-fi stories in history, but his interest in the realm isn't limited to starring in the Chris Carter franchise.
David Duchovny: Well, not really in the sense of having experiences with them or believing that anybody's had experiences with them, but I've always just said the odds are pretty strongly against this planet being the only place where life experimented with itself, so I find it hard to believe that there aren't any. But I don't think we've ever had any visitations.
Well, certainly, I'd say a real key -- not a key moment, but one that I remember very distinctly when I was a kid, was the reveal in Planet of the Apes that they've been on Earth the whole time. It just blew my mind. Blew my little mind, however old I was. And I guess when I saw The Sixth Sense, that was another time where I was like,"Okay, I didn't see that coming.
It was going back from that and really getting the real research, which is exploding now, with the Neanderthal DNA, and just this idea of trying to figure out this erased past, but transposing it onto another planet, where we could watch it play out was fascinating to me. Then, it also became about, I've had a fascination with bonobo monkeys for a while, which I don't know if you know about them, maybe you do.
That's interesting. I don't know that I was a different person, but I was very aware of the freedom that science fiction can give that I hadn't experienced before as a writer. I had when I wrote for X-Files, I guess, but I haven't really written science fiction aside from that.
I'm taken with this idea that Homo sapiens just foisted an entire culture upon these Neanderthals, so you've got a Neanderthal Elvis, you've got a Neanderthal Lucy and Desi. For me, it was also like listening to covers of great rock songs that are done by people from other cultures and other languages, where you have this eerie or uncanny sense of the familiar, yet you're listening to a very, very different version of something that you know so well in your own culture.
