Film Preview: The Double

An upcoming dark comedy directed by Richard Ayoade whose debut film Submarine was impressive and compelling (although it didnt quite fair as well with the critics). He's mostly known for his roles in The IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace whilst also starring in Hollywood comedy The Watch last year with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller that flopped in at the box office. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on 7th September 2013 to excellent reviews.


Simon (Eisenberg) is a quiet shy man whose life seems to be passing him by as he's shunned at work and not liked by the woman he loves, Hannah (Mia Wasikowska). But then he meets James who is his exact physical double but is the opposite in terms of personality, he's outgoing and confident but slowly Simon begins to realise that James is trying to take over his life.

The Double is released in the UK on 4th April 2014 and the trailer is embedded below:
