Following Californication, X-Files star David Duchovny is set to star in The Joneses, along with Demi Moore, Gary Cole and Amber Heard.

The film is a dramedy that aims to provide commentary on society. It will center on a picture-perfect family that moves into a suburban neighborhood, being loved and envied by all. However, they are actually a commissioned fake family put together by a marketing company to introduce new luxury products to neighborhoods around the world.

Duchovny will play the father, a man undergoing a crisis of confidence as he is living a lie. Playing his fake wife will be Moore, a career-driven woman who struggles with her growing feelings toward her fake husband. Heard will play their fake daughter who is trying to seduce her fake dad while looking for a rich man.

It has been written by Derrick Borte, who will also direct the film.

Demi Moore signed on for two indie films, working back-to-back.  First one is a family drama about miscalculations in life that take pause to angst.  Second one is a martial arts story with a warlard, concubine and bartender.

“Happy Tears” includes Parker Posey who stars with Moore as sisters who angst over family relationships. “Bunraku” follows a man on a quest for revenge who finds him fighting a lot more than he imagined.  Woody Harrelson also stars as the bartender while Moore plays the concubine.  Apparently, the film is set in a la “Sin City” and mixes it up with different genres: German expressionism, video games, comic books, origami and puppets.
