Next year’s spy-thriller film “Duplicity,” which was written and directed by Tony Gilroy, who was the creative mind behind last year’s captivating thriller “Michael Clayton” which is slated for a 2009 release finally has its trailer released online. It has an all-star cast consisting of Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson.
The plot centers around two spies (Owen and Roberts) working for competing pharmaceutical companies who team up to manipulate a corporate race between to sociopathic CEO’s (Giamatti and Wilkinson) in an attempt corner the market on a certain medical innovation. Judging from the plot and trailer, this could easily turn into a been-there-done-that spy thriller, but with Gilroy’s success in creating the fresh and moving “Michael Clayton,” it seems logical to think he will bring the same to “Duplicity.” “Duplicity” is currently set for a March 20th release date.
