trailer break: ‘Duplicity’

That’s pretty much all I need to know.

And yet there’s more.

Paul Giamatti? Heh. Tom Wilkinson. Yes.

“A total corporate deathmatch”? Ah, satire.

Double- and triple- and maybe even quadruple-crosses? Excellent.

I don’t even hate Julia Roberts these days, now that she’s realized it’s time to start trading on her smarts instead of her looks.

Ooo, and it’s the followup from Michael Clayton director Tony Gilroy, who also wrote both films. (And he adapted the script for the upcoming adapted-from-British-TV State of Play, too.) Can I be this lucky? Or am I simply setting myself up for disappointment. Can this really be the screwball spy movie it looks like?

I don’t ask for much. But let me have this.

(Clive Owen walking through Grand Central? I walk through Grand Central all the time. *moan*)

Duplicity opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on March 20.
