The next project from Tony Gilroy, writer and director of
Michael Clayton, is
Duplicity, a spy thriller with a sexy couple at the heart of it. Clive Owen and Julia Roberts play two corporate spies with a romantic past who "hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses." Paul Giamatti and the awe-inspiring Tom Wilkinson also star.
As you may know by now, I will jump at any chance to write about Clive Owen, and thankfully today's news includes some cool details in addition to Clive's gorgeous face.
In quick bites, here are the facts:
- Clive Owen and Julia Roberts will reteam for the first time since they played a troubled married couple in Closer.
- This next project is titled Duplicity.
- The movie is "a caper pic set in the world of big business. They play longtime lovers who happened to work as spies on opposite sides.
Cate Blanchett, in some of the most sumptuous costumes and outrageous hairpieces, can do her best to growl and roar through this follow-up to the 1998 soapy historical piece
Elizabeth, but unfortunately she can't save the faulty script and sloppy pacing that is
The Golden Age. This is a shame because the more Blanchett and her equally amazing costars (Clive Owen, Geoffry Rush, Abbie Cornish) plunge into this material with all they've got, trying to compensate for the film's many flaws, the more the movie veers into camp. Thus, the mediocrity of this Elizabeth sequel is not Elizabeth's fault.
There couldn't be a better title for this movie than
Shoot 'Em Up because, well, that's what happens. It's loud. It's crass.
