Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are in a battle of wits in the Duplicity movie trailer. And I think I’m bowing out because at first viewing my brain can’t figure out what the hell this film is about.
Ok, here’s the official synopsis:
“CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first.
For their employers-industry titan Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (Paul Giamatti)- nothing is out of bounds. But as the stakes rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier, the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can’t cheat their way out of: love.”
Not exactly describe-your-concept-in-15-words-or-less.
It says in these other notes I have here that it’s a ‘thriller’, but that trailer was for a comedy.
I guess it all explains the non-specific title. As in Greed (Ben Stiller), or Deception (Hugh Jackman), because those did well.
Duplicity hits theatres on 20th March 2009.

This trailer wants to be Ocean’s 11 but the stuffy corporate theme sucks all the life out of it. It looks awful … but then again Michael Clayton looked like a paint by numbers executive thriller and was something totally different and hard to classify and quite good, so maybe this will be the same.
Agreed. Or it might mean that a hot screenwriter finds all his below par screenplays are suddenly hot property (eg author of Training Day gets to sell Harsh Times). Who knows, but I find Julia Roberts irritating in the role so far and she just isn’t attractive these days, despite what they would have us believe. I think I actually would kick her out of bed. Especially to make room for a laptop with movie-moron.com on it.
Yes-yes, but I’m not hearing you saying “No” to Clive Owen.
Bam.
If he’s reading an article from movie-moron aloud, that’s fine.
I think I’m the only person who loved Harsh Times.
Is it me, or does Clive Owen look like he’s totally lost in this movie?
