"I don't think there was any kind of nostalgic feel to the film," said Duchovny. "It really felt from the inception all the way through execution that we were just making a good film. We just wanted to make a good thriller. The subject matter called a certain amount of nostalgia in the characters and everything but it wasn't going to be one of these films that was constantly winking and nodding and trying to pander that kind of nostalgia. I think it's inherent in the enterprise but we really wanted to make a great film that stood on its own."
