Clive Owen & Julia Roberts in DUPLICITY trailer

Tony Gilroy was responsible for one of the best movies of 2007 with his directorial debut MICHAEL CLAYTON and the BOURNE series screenwriter is back with DUPLICITY, a corporate thriller that reunites him with Tom Wilkinson, Academy Award nominated for CLAYTON. But the bigger reunion is the one between CLOSER co-stars Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, the two leads of the moviewho do have a undeniable chemistry with each other. DUPLICITY is the story of CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) who have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE TRAILER Another great character actor, Paul Giamatti, plays opposite Wilkinson as one as of the corporate bosses. That team-up almost feels like a tussle between which great actor can win the supporting player nod come Oscar night (next year's though of course). Feels more light hearted and rather OCEAN'S ELEVEN like than the seriousness of MICHAEL CLAYTON. And with the title we can expect many, many, many twists on just whose side is everyone on, hopefully Gilroy will manage to keep it all interesting. He certainly has my faith from his body of work so far. DUPLICITY opens March 20th 2009 in both the U.K. and U.S.
