Director Tony Gilroy brings us a new spy thriller movie titled Duplicity. The story revolves around two corporate spies with a romantic history who collaborate to carry out a complicated con. The film is starring Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Tom Wilkinson, and Paul Giamatti. Duplicity is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2009.
Here below the first official Duplicity trailer:
Claire Stenwick Ex-CIA
Ray Koval ex-MI6
Two experts spies
Two rival corporations
One perfect plan
From the writer and director of Michael Clayton
comes a story about scheming, spying, stealing
and other adventures that couples share
DUPLICTY
Plot:
“Two corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) team up to manipulate a corporate race to corner the market on a medical innovation that will reap huge profits.”
Cast:
- Clive Owen plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
- Julia Roberts plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
- Tom Wilkinson plays the CEO of one of the rival companies;
- Paul Giamatti plays the CEO of one of the rival companies.
Trust is a dynamic variable int he world of spies. And it’s even more explosive when love gets in!
The duo Clive Owen / Julia Roberts is rather appealing. And judging from this trailer of Duplicity the movie nicely integrates a comic dimension! Duplicity seems to be a win!

Whiteout is an upcoming movie adaptation of the 1999 comic book by writer Greg Rucka and artist Steve Lieber. The film is directed by Dominic Sena and is starring Kate Beckinsale and Gabriel Macht in the lead roles. The action thriller Whiteout is slated to be released on September 11, 2009.
Here below a first look at Kate Beckinsale and Gabriel Macht in the movie Whiteout:
Plot:
“A U.S. marshal (Kate Beckinsale), the only one assigned to Antarctica, must investigate a murder on the frozen continent within three days before the arctic winter begins. She crosses paths with a U.N. operative (Gabriel Macht), also investigating the murder.” (Source: Wikipedia)
The film is primarily set in a bright world of ice and sunlight, an unconventional approach to the murder mystery genre. Both real and fake snow were used in production.
Even if the plot is set in Antartica it does not make the film that much exceptional so far… I hope there will be some good acting to complete the landscape…
But for once the original author of the graphic novel, Greg Rucka, applauded the film adaptation of his source material (not like the bitter Allan Moore about the Watchmen movie). So there is reason to hope for Whiteout!

Nothing But The Truth is an upcoming thriller drama movie directed by Rod Lurie. It is starring Kate Beckinsale in the lead role besides Matt Dillon, and Alan Alda, and also David Schwimmer. The movie Nothing But The Truth will have a first release in New York on December 19, 2008 before seeing a wider release (but still limited) on January 9, 2009.
Once the headline was published
the real story began…
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Don’t reveal the source
Plot:
“The story centers on female newspaper reporter (Beckinsale) who outs a CIA agent and is imprisoned for refusing to reveal her source. Schwimmer will play Beckinsale’s husband, who initially supports his wife’s decision not to name names but as time goes by begins to resent her for choosing a principle over her family.” (Source: Coming Soon)
Sounds like an intelligent plot, and the acting looks quite good. Probably worth to give a try to Nothing But The Truth.

Looks like we have a hardcore sci fi thriller movie ahead with Moon. The film is directed by Duncan Jones and is starring Sam Rockwell with Kevin Spacey lending his voice to some AI robot. The movie Moon should be released in 2009.
Thanks to Bloody Disgusting (here) we have some pictures of the movie Moon with Sam Rockwell:
(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.” (Source: IMDb)
It looks dark like the hard core sci-fi movies from the 1970’s and the 1980’s: watching this sci-fi movie will be like going back to my childhood besides going to the Moon!

Race to Witch Mountain is an upcoming sci-fi movie, remake of the original 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain. This new version, using a script by Matt Lopez, is a modern re-imagining of the 1975 movie. The film is directed by Andy Fickman and is starring Dwayne Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Ciaran Hinds, and Carla Gugino. Race to Witch Mountain should be released in March 2009.
A bootleg trailer of Race To Witch Mountain has leaked online via Trailer Addict:
Update: Official Trailer of Race to Witch Mountain Released
Prepare for an adventure that’s out of this world.
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN
Plot:
“A UFO expert enlists the help of a cab driver (Dwayne Johnson The Rock) to protect two siblings (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) with paranormal powers from the clutches of Ciaran Hinds and his organization who want to use the kids for their nefarious plans.” (Source: IMDb)
An interesting sci-fi movie, even if Dwayne Johnson is quite unlikely in the role of a taxi driver turned nanny…

Director Tim Blake Nelson has been working on an upcoming titled Leaves of Grass which is based on a script he wrote himself. This upcoming comedic thriller movie that should is starring Edward Norton, Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon, and Keri Russell. Leaves of Grass should be released in 2009.
Plot:
“An Ivy League professor (Norton) is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown, where his twin brother (Norton), a small-time pot grower, has concocted a scheme to take down a local drug lord (Dreyfuss).” (Source: IMDb)
Here below a first look at Edward Norton in the movie Leaves of Grass, in which he plays the role of twins:
I think Edward Norton had no problem playing a dual role as the two identical twin brothers (one of whom is an Ivy League philosophy professor and the other is a brilliant marijuana growing career criminal): he’s got the spirit of Fight Club and has been able to tame the green beast Hulk after all!

Season of The Witch is an upcoming fantasy drama movie set during the Middle Age. It is directed by Dominic Sena and starring Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, and Claire Foy. The movie is under production with filming currently taking place in the Austrian Alps.
The movie Season of the Witch is slated for a release in 2010.
Thanks to ShockTillYouDrop we’ve got not only the plot synopsis of Season of the Witch but we also have two movie set pictures featuring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman in their medieval outfits:
Plot:
“As the Black Plague rages across 14th century Europe, one brave knight Lavey (Nicolas Cage), is tasked with transporting a girl (Claire Foy) suspected of being the witch who caused the pandemic to trial. Believing she is wrongly accused, Lavey and a group of wary followers fight through a mystical and treacherous landscape to a hallowed place where her innocence can be proved and Europe’s curse can be lifted. Unbeknownst to Lavey, even darker forces await them…” (Source: Shock Till You Drop)
The premise is appealing. I hope they will favor a real plot and will avoid to overuse CGI effects… If done well Season of the Witch could be an awesome epic movie!
