Have you been watching HBO lately? If you have tuned into the network on or since Sunday, there is a good chance you might have caught John Adams, their new series that plays just about every hour. Don't get me wrong, the show is great; it's just hard to watch the same political discussion five times over. On the other hand, I cannot look away.
Anywho - HBO's John Adams, Paul Giamatti, has been picked up by Universal to join the cast of Duplicity.
Paul Giamatti for Duplicity
Giamatti will join Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Tom Wilkinson in Duplicity.
Giamatti will play an industrialist engaged in a fierce game of corporate one-upmanship against a rival titan, played by Wilkinson (who plays Benjamin Franklin in John Adams). Roberts and Owen play two spies-turned-corporate operatives who work on opposite sides but are having a clandestine love affair. Billy Bob Thornton had been in talks for the businessman role.
Tony Gilroy will direct Duplicity off a script he wrote.
