This isn’t our first set of pictures from the various New York sets of Duplicity, the new Tony Gilroy movie where they play corporate spies who have had an affair in the past and decide to join forces to pull off a long con job.

But the Julia Roberts scene filmed in Columbus Circle at night was lit so well that even the telephoto paparazzi lens picks up Julia’s light halo. And Clive Owen’s Central Park bench sitting got some golden hour light that also looks good just as-is.

In a world of color correction, these images go to show just how much a good light design can do, even for leaked pictures of your stars.

As for how the movie is going, we’ve had friends become extras in Mid-Town restaurants, acquaintances run into Clive down at Grand Central Station, and still no reports of action in any sense of the word.

A bit talky, probably. But well-lit.
