David Duchovny has signed on to star opposite Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro in DreamWorks' drama THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Penned by Allan Loeb, the story centers on a woman (Berry) whose husband (Duchovny) suddenly dies. The woman invites her husband's troubled best friend (Del Toro) to live with her family, and as the friend turns his life around, he helps the grief-stricken family confront their loss. Duchovny will appear in flashbacks.

Dogme helmer Susanne Bier ("Open Hearts") will direct "Fire," which is scheduled to start filming next month.
