Sex may be the early selling point, but Duchovny says it's not what the show is about. There are plenty of naked bodies (five, including Duchovny's, in the pilot episode alone) and dirty words in "Californication," but almost all of them lead to punch lines. "But when I say adult," he continued, "I mean more like a grown-up view of life, family and the kind of stuff that I haven't seen, not in movies and definitely not on network television for a long, long time." I'm sure there's going to be people calling it 'Sex Files' and 'Triple X Files' and all that." "I hate to say that because I'm already going to combat that kind of very easy tag people will have for the show. "It reminded me of movies that I love from the '70s like 'Shampoo' or 'Blume in Love,' where they are adult sex comedies," he said in his trailer between scenes, decongestants and tissues at the ready. "There was a shadow on her head."ĭuchovny has been engaging in a lot of this lately, choreographed fake sex with an assortment of actresses in varying states of undress, because "Californication," as the title suggests, is chock full of sex, so much so that he already dreads the awful headlines that will surely precede the series' Aug. "Cut," said the director, Bart Freundlich, one of Duchovny's closest friends, instructing the couple to disengage and start over. "I love women," Duchovny's congenitally flippant character said after being accused of just using female partners to distract himself from his continuing writer's block. He and Amy Price-Francis, playing one of the many wrong-for-him sexual diversions who populate the story lines, were going at it in a full-on lip-locking kitchen-sink clinch. The scene, being filmed on a stuffy and intermittently noisy soundstage, involved lots of talking and lots of groping, as many of them do on the new, soon-to-be-controversial Showtime series "Californication." David Duchovny, as the occasionally unpleasant antihero of the show, a creatively blocked novelist named Hank Moody, was fully committed to the moment in spite of a real-life cold and a lozenge-coated throat.
