Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are teaming up for a movie called Duplicity. It’s kind of like Multiplicity, except completely different. There may however, be pizza.
Variety says the Tony Gilroy written and directed film is a caper pic set in the world of big business. Roberts and Owen play longtime lovers and spies on opposite sides who work together to rip off big companies. Sounds a lot like a sequel to Mr. and Mrs. Smith doesn’t it? Except I have a hard time imagining Julia Roberts in a black leather catsuit, firing guns while she hang glides off the top of a skyscraper. Seriously, Julia Roberts as a spy? Tony Gilroy wrote The Bourne Ultimatum. Can you imagine Julia as the female Bourne? No way that’ll work. She’s soft and comfortable. I can’t imagine her as a badass, especially when compared to Clive Owen, who can kill a man using only a carrot.
Julia and Clive last worked together on the movie Closer, where they played a much less adventurous, overly angsty couple. Granted Closer was lousy, but at least it was more Julia Roberts appropriate. A whiny, cheating, yuppie wife is much more her speed than some sort of super-spy.
