Based on a Dostoevsky short story, "The Double is the comic story of an insignificant man driven to near breakdown by the appearance of his doppelganger. Funny, frightening and dream-like, the film will reflect on loneliness and our need to love and be loved."
No, it's not the most exciting synopsis in the world but Ayoade is simply a fabulous talent and the cast in this - Mia Wasikowska, Wallace Shawn, Noah Taylor - is simply spectacular. And now we have the first pair of images to take a look at. Based on the concept and Ayoade's comic / music video history something along the lines of Michel Gondry may have been expected but things are looking quite different.
