Check out five new 'Duplicity' clips

DateTuesday, March 10, 2009 at 3:30PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

One film I am really looking forward to this month is Tony Gilroy's "Duplicity," due in theaters March 20, 2009.

In the movie, two corporate spies decide to work together by pulling a huge con on their respective bosses, who happen to be in a ruthless war over a new product.

"Duplicity" stars Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti, and what I've seen of the movie so far really left me wanting to see more.

Five brand-new clips recently popped up on the Web, and you can check them out right after the jump. Most of what you'll see in the footage deals with Owen and Roberts trying to outsmart each other.

Gilroy last directed "Michael Clayton," a film I thoroughly enjoyed. His credits also include the screenplays for the "Bourne" flicks and upcoming thriller "State of Play."

Trailer radar: 'Duplicity'

DateWednesday, November 26, 2008 at 9:14AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

After making his directorial debut with the excellent George Clooney vehicle "Michael Clayton," writer-director Tony Gilroy returns with "Duplicity," starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts.

In the movie, two corporate spies decide to work together by pulling a huge con on their respective bosses (Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti), who happen to be in a ruthless war over a new product.

As you can see in the preview after the jump, "Duplicity" looks like a project full of twists and comedic situations, complete with a promising all-star cast.

Whether Owen and Roberts end up sharing a credible, delicious chemistry remains to be seen, but for now, this trailer made me want to see a lot more. "Duplicity" opens March 20, 2009.

Let me know what you think of this entertaining trailer just below.

Clooney ready for ‘The Challenge’

DateWednesday, August 13, 2008 at 7:22AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

George Clooney has acquired the rights to develop a big-screen version of Jonathan Mahler’s thriller “The Challenge,” according to Variety.

The book focuses on the struggle by U.S. Navy lawyer Charles Swift and law professor Neal Katyal to guarantee a fair trial for Salim Hamdan, the bodyguard and driver of Osama bin Laden.

At this stage, it’s not clear what role Clooney will play in the project, but he has the options to write, direct and topline the drama.

Considering Clooney’s excellent performance in Tony Gilroy’s recent legal thriller “Michael Clayton,” I would really like to see the actor take on one of the lead roles.

As far as helming goes, why not go for it? Apart from “Leatherheads,” Clooney proved he’s a dab hand at directing himself and others.
