Roberts and Owen reteam in 'Duplicity'

Posted by Chris Bumbray on Nov 01, 2007

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.

My casting director suggested her and I went to Paris to meet her. She loved the script and she's an amazing actress so of course I wanted to work with her. Playing an artist is very hard as it can come of as super fake, but Elodie is an artist in real life and that translated. Who doesn't like Dream Life of Angels?!

Reviews

Review: Police, Adjective

Patterned with minimalist surroundings, low-key performances and long takes that are filmed in real time, the almost mute Police, Adjective cleverly details how Romanian society has not entirely deposed of, or moved away from its past with this anti-thesis of a Michael Mann film.

Interviews

Interview: Michael Hoffman (The Last Station)

I never wanted to make a biopic about Tolstoy. The film I saw was about the tragic comedy about marriage, about the difficulty living with love and impossibility of living without love.

Festivals

2010 Berlin Int. Film Festival (60th)

Up to 400 films are shown every year as part of the Berlinale's public programme, the vast majority of which are world or European premieres. Films of every genre, length and format can be submitted for consideration. The Berlinale is divided into different sections, each with its own unique profile: big international movies in the Competition, independent and art-house productions in Panorama, movies specially for a young audience in the Generation section, the most exciting German cinema productions in Perspektive Deutsches Kino, an in-depth look at films from “distant” countries and experimental forms in the Forum, as well as an investigation of diverse cinematic possibilities in the Berlinale Shorts. The programme is rounded off by a thematic Retrospective and a Homage, which focuses on the lifework of a great cinema personality. Both of these sections, which are curated by the Berlin Film Museum, aim to place contemporary cinema within a historical context.
