David Duchovny is set to take on the challenge of adapting his own best selling novel ‘Bucky F*cking Dent.’
Duchovny will write, direct and star in the feature that is set in New York in 1978 and follows an aimless thirty-something named Ted, who moves back in with his father Marty (Duchovny) after learning of his terminal illness. Marty is looking to make up for lost time, but his health seems to deteriorate whenever his beloved Red Sox lose a game (a condition familiar to Boston sports fans of the era). With help from a crew of neighbourhood old-timers and Mariana – Marty’s Nuyorican grief counsellor – Ted orchestrates an intricate plan to provide the illusion of a Sox winning streak to keep Marty’s spirit up (and heart beating).
The project is said to be “an ode to the bond between father and son” and a true underdog story.
