NBC Orders Charles Manson Drama Series Starring David Duchovny

David Duchovny won’t be out of the series game long after “Californication” finishes its seven-season run on Showtime this year. The actor will star in a period NBC drama as a police detective on the trail of the Los Angeles-area hippie cult leader who turns out to be Charles Manson.

NBC has given a 13-episode straight-to-series order to “Aquarius,” penned by drama vet John McNamara (“In Plain Sight,” “Profit”) who exec produces with Duchovny, Marty Adelstein (“Prison Break”) and Duchovny’s longtime manager Melanie Greene. “Aquarius” hails from ITV Studios and Marty Adelstein Prods.

The pact also marks Duchovny’s reunion with NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt, who greenlight “Californication” during his tenure as Showtime entertainment prexy. Greenblatt and Duchovny also go back to the origins of “The X-Files” when Greenblatt headed drama at Fox.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Bob Greenblatt again and coming back to broadcast television. I think ‘Aquarius’ has a chance to be a special show and I can’t wait to get going,” Duchovny said. Greenblatt returned the compliment, adding: ”I’m especially pleased that he wanted to come to NBC where I know there is a big audience waiting to see him.”

In “Aquarius,” Duchovny will play a Los Angeles police sergeant with a complicated personal life. In the late 1960s, he and his younger partner begin tracking a small-time criminal who specializes in luring vulnerable young women to his “cause.”

The plan is that the series will follow “the twists and turns” of Manson’s early efforts, but the horrific murder spree in August 1969 that made his name synonymous with evil will not enter the story until subsequent seasons.

“Event series are a big priority for us, and the combination of a show that charts the lead-up to the Manson murders, along with a television star of the magnitude of David Duchovny, is the very definition of an event,” said NBC Entertainment prexy Jennifer Salke.

Дэвид отвечал на вопросы в фэйсбуке. Мне вот что глаз зацепило:

Q:I love the look and feel of the late 60s, and thought Aquarius had really authentic costume and props. Was there anything you particularly enjoyed about acting in a series set in this era? For example, did it bring back early memories of decor your parents or grandparents might have had?
DD:I think I love having a rotary dial phone again most of all. That's like a time machine for me

- Было ли что-то, что особенно приносило удовольствие при игре на съёмочной площадке того времени [60-х]?
ДД: Мне нравится пользоваться телефоном с дисковым номеронабирателем больше всего остального. Это сродни машине времени для меня.

Q:I loved the scene in episode 5 where Hodiak lost his temper with Manson and beat the crap out of him. You seemed so vulnerable and raw. It translated really well on screen. Was that scene difficult to shoot?
DD: Those scenes are so primal they are actually not hard to shoot
You just have to become an animal
The hardest part was my friend and director Jonas pate wanted me to punch the lens so we had plexiglass over it and I punched it quite a few times
The plexiglass won that fight

- Мне понравилась сцена в 5 эпизоде, где Ходиак потерял самообладание относительно Мэнсона и жестоко избил его. Что было сложным снимать в этой сцене?
ДД: Такие сцены очень примитивные, т.ч. их не сложно снимать. Тебе просто нужно стать животным. Самое сложное было, что мой друг и режиссер этого эпизода хотел, чтобы я ударил объектив камеры, так что на нем было орг. стекло, и я несколько раз ударил по нему. Стекло выиграло ту битву.
