Roberts and Owen reteam in 'Duplicity'

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are going to star in Duplicity, A Universal Pictures drama written and directed by Tony Gilroy- who recently helmed Michael Clayton. Roberts and Owen previously teamed in the Mike Nichols- directed Closer.

Described as a caper pic set in the world of big business, Owen and Roberts will play rival corporate spies that also happen to be lovers.
The film is set to roll in March- once Owen finishes work on the Tom Tykwer-directed The International. Roberts will next be seen in Charlie Wilson's War- directed by Nichols, in which she stars opposite Tom Hanks.

Duplicity sounds a bit like a corporate take on Mr. and Mrs. Smith- although under the direction of Gilroy, I imagine the film will not be as tongue in cheek as it sounds.

Michael Clayton was one hell of a debut for Gilroy, so it will be interesting to see his follow-up. He's definitely got himself a couple of heavy hitters with Roberts and Owen. Truth be told- I'm not a huge Julia Roberts fan. I think there's too much hype surrounding her- but that said, she can definitely deliver when need, as proved by her Oscar winning turn in Erin Brokovitch. Her chemistry with Owen in Closer was good, but he definitely dominated every scene he was in.

Clive Owen is definitely one of my favorite actors currently working in film. I'm been a fan of his since Croupier. He was terrific in Closer, and Children of Men was easily my favorite film of 2006.

Reviews

Review: Spring Fever

Review: Spring Fever

A heavily flawed film that does a disservice to its quintet of characters by abruptly ending each character's final chapter before it even begins making Spring Fever a film that never manages to find itself. Audiences who've followed his past efforts such as Purple Butterfly and Summer Palace will be puzzled by erotica without reason, by the undefined terms in which the characters are set in and the lack of dramatic focus.

Interview: Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story)

Pat has a very wide appeal and people who admire him come from different parts of ideological spectrum. So we didn't want to alienate a part of our audience because the film is about Pat more than anything. So we wanted to invite everybody to the dialogue of what actually happened to him and the country at the time.
