Though we're still waiting for a release date for
Submarine helmer Richard Ayoade's adaptation of Dostoevsky's
The Double we don't have to wait at all to get a little taste of what's coming with the Jesse Eisenberg vs Jesse Eisenberg starring flick thanks to the arrival of a new teaser.
Simon is a timid man, scratching out an isolated existence in an
indifferent world. He is overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and
ignored by the woman of his dreams. He feels powerless to change any
of these things. The arrival of a new co-worker, James, serves to upset
the balance. James is both Simon's exact physical double and his
opposite - confident, charismatic and good with women. To Simon's
horror, James slowly starts taking over his life.
Ayoade is simply a huge talent and this was a great favorite when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Check out the teaser below.
