Tony Gilroy's 'Duplicity' Adds Thornton and Wilkinson

Tom Wilkinson

The two actors will join Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in the drama of which Gilroy will direct from his own script.

In the film Thornton and Wilkinson will play the CEOs of rival pharmaceutical companies racing to corner the market on an innovation that will bring wild profits. Roberts and Owen play corporate spies who try to manipulate which corporation will win.

Production is set to shoot in March and April in New York as it was one of the few films to have a script ready to roll as the writers' strike got underway.
