Paul Giamatti has been set by director Tony Gilroy to join Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Tom Wilkinson in the Gilroy-scripted film Duplicity

Giamatti will play an industrialist engaged in a fierce game of corporate one-upmanship against a rival titan, played by Wilkinson. 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. I'm a little upset about Thornton no longer being a part of this project, its been a while since he has had a really great role but if he is going to be replaced, at least it is with one of my other favorite actors.
