DUPLICITY - a con flick starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen!

Published at:  Nov 01, 2007 4:59:02 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm happy that the con-artist movie is making a comeback. We have Rian Johnson's THE BROTHERS BLOOM in post right now and that script was so much fun... Now we have Tony Gilroy, who directed the damn good MICHAEL CLAYTON, who is going to direct (from his script) a flick for Universal called DUPLICITY with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen as rival corporate spies who team up to pull off the big con. I'm sure there'll be tons of twists and turns along the way... backstabbings galore.

Anyway, I dug the chemistry the two had in CLOSER ("What did he taste like?" "Like you, only sweeter!"), so I'm always down to see them pair up again, especially under the direction of Gilroy. Thoughts?

    Use of exclamation points following Julia Robert's name are acceptable if the word retires, dies, or has a sex change are in said headline.

    Have you seen her grind out code and order pizza online? Teh hotness. I miss the days when Justine Bateman was the alpha female and Roberts was the also-ran you'd settle for.

  • represents. She hasn't seen Star Wars, knows fuck all about movies and acting, just knows how to be a celebrity and command mega paychecks for shitty movies. That being said I guarantee she gives a hell of a blowjob.

    Chemistry?

    by hedetoft

    I actually thought that there really wasn't any chemistry between those two... but then again you might have been sarcastic :)
