A rep for the star of films including "Wanted," opposite Angelina Jolie, "Atonement" and "The Last King of Scotland," confirmed James and his wife, British actress Anne-Marie Duff, are expecting.

Given the dreadful state of the U.S. economy -- which is turning out to be the worst since the Great Depression of the 1930's -- hard-hit moviegoers would be forgiven for not feeling any sympathy towards greedy corporations or, more importantly, the greedy CEO's who run them.

So chalk it up to bad timing for the release of "Duplicity," in which Julia Roberts and Clive Owen play conniving business operatives (and secret lovers) on opposite sides of an all-out corporate war. But timing is only part of the problem with this would-be romantic caper, which is too convoluted to be romantic, too confusing to be an effective caper and too long to be entertaining.
