“Duplicity” Trailer Is New, Even Though It Feels Like We’ve Seen It Before
If Clive Owen and Julia Roberts showed even an ounce of chemistry in this new trailer for Ocean’s 18 Duplicity, the latest from Michael Clayton writer/director Tony Gilroy, I might be tempted to call it Mr. and Mrs. Smith-esque. Instead, it just looks like two actors phoning it in for a paycheck while Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson chew up what’s left of the scenery. Watch it here and see what I mean. And honestly, how long is it going to take for people to realize Julia Roberts shouldn’t be playing

Julia Roberts and Clive in Duplicity
There have been loads of people waiting for the new film of Tony Gilroy after his much hyped Michael Clayton. The film Duplicity stars Clive Owen and Julia Roberts. The film also includes Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti. Tony Gilroy is known for his work on the Bourne Series. But his prowess as a director has yet to be proved. Owen and Roberts play a pair of corporate spys who have fallen into a steamy relationship and devise the ultimate plan to rip off their respective employers. The companies are run by

THE WOLF MAN delayed again!!!
This absolutely sucks and is a really bad sign for Universal’s remake of THE WOLF MAN. The negative buzz that comes with constant delays can be fatal, even if it’s just trying to find a better slot for release. Fangoria claim they have heard that the current April 3rd release date for Joe Johnston’s movie is to be pushed back, possibly to as late as next fall! So it could be a whole 12 months before we see the transformation of Benicio Del Toro into THE WOLF MAN though the wise move wo

Movie Preview: Clive and Julia in Duplicity
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. I watched the trailer a few times because I'm easily distracted by how good-looking Clive Owen is, but in the end I think it looks like an intriguing enough

Owen. Giamatti. Wilkinson. Roberts. SOLD!
Clive Owen is in two upcoming corporate scandal films early next year. The first looks a bit on the cheesy, actioner side (The International), but the other, of which I just saw the trailer for today looks damn good. But as the title of this post suggests, I’m obviously biassed. The film, Duplicity, is the brain child of one Tony Gilroy. So yeah, writer of the Bourne screenplays and better yet, the writer/director of Oscar winning Michael Clayton, I can’t think of many trailers that grabbed

Danny Elfman To Score ‘The Wolfman’
Universal told AICN that Danny Elfman will be taking care of the score for the upcoming new version of The Wolfman, which stars Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, Anthony Hopkins, and Hugo Weaving. It’s directed by Joe Johnston. I’m not 100% sure what to expect in this announcement as the footage I saw didn’t really seem like an Elfman project, but I think so long as it’s not Beetlejuice-y, it could be good. Maybe more along the lines of Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands? The movie is

Movie Trailer: Tony Gilroy’s Duplicity
Ever since the fairly spectacular Michael Clayton, I’ve been eagerly awaiting Tony Gilroy’s next directorial project, Duplicity. Honestly, how could you not get excited about a film that reunites Closer stars Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, and includes Tom Wilkinson (who should seriously consider hitching his wagon to every Gilroy script), and Paul Giamatti? Clayton proved that Gilroy had the directing chops to match his screenwriting prowess—which is saying something given that he’s

Universal Moving Wolfman?
We’re trying to confirm things as we speak, but there are some rumors flying around right now, starting out at Fangoria, that Universal may be moving the release date for Wolfman from April, 2009, to sometime in the fall. I guess it makes sense since it is a horror movie and they always do better in the fall, but man, I really don’t want to wait that long to see this sucker. Benicio Del Toro stars as Larry Talbot, an actor who returns to his homeland and almost immediately gets bitten by a werewolf. M

Must Watch: First Trailer for Tony Gilroy's Duplicity
The moment I stepped out of Michael Clayton awe-struck last year, I knew that Tony Gilroy was one hell of an up-and-coming director. If you can believe it, Clayton was actually his directorial debut. His follow up is a con thriller named Duplicity starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, Julia Roberts, and Tom Wilkinson. Universal has debuted the first trailer and damn does it look like one hell of great con film the likes of Ocean's Eleven. Gilroy has a brilliant way of portraying the sleek side of corporations

DUPLICITY Trailer
The trailer for Tony Gilroy’s second directorial movie, DUPLICITY has hit the web. I wasn’t too keen on Michael Clayton and I thought it was too much of a copycat of The Verdict but I still respect Gilroy for adapting the thriller franchise: all of The Bourne Movies. DUPLICITY reunites Clive Owen with his Shoot ‘em Up co-star Paul Giamatti and his Closer co-star Julia Roberts. Ah, reunion.. it’s in the air. The trailer seems to indicate this will be under the category heist/con thri
