> Thornton and Wilkinson Join High-Profile Duplicity

Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Wilkinson have joined Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in Tony Gilroy's Duplicity.The two new cast members will play "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." In short, it's the white collar version of The Departed.

Gilroy is up for two Oscars for writing and directing Michael Clayton, while Wilkinson earned a Best Supporting Actor nod for his role in the film.
