First Official Trailer for "The Double" featuring Jesse Eisenberg

Watch the trailer for The Double, the new film directed by Richard Ayoade, and loosely based on Dostoyevsky's novella of the same name. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as a man who is apparently driven insane by the appearance of his Doppelganger, and will have its world premiere on Saturday at the Toronto film festival.

i can't wait for this. i hope this is better than Submarine (it was beautifully shot, but the story lacked severely imo.)

I feel like Dostoyevsky is hard to adapt for the screen

I agree. He's one of my favorite authors, but his work is just so laden with references and allegory. I really appreciate foot/endnotes when I read his work.

it's the facial hair isn't it

I get to see this at TIFF tomorrow - so excited. :D

When I clicked on this and saw that there were 21 comments, I was like "...at least one is going to be Janna."

I can't wait to start hearing some of the reactions from TIFF.

so intrigued by this. also two jesses <3

Can't watch the trailer rn but I'm excited for this movie

This just may be the sexiest trailer ever.

Ugh, I cannot wait for this. It's top of my list to get tickets for at the London Film Festival (well, after Ilo Ilo and Only Lovers Left Alive, tbh).
Jesse Eisenberg+Richard Ayoade=perfection.

I reaaaaaly like Submarine so I'm excited to see what Ayoade does next. He's a really intriguing director.

IA with you about Submarine, OP--it's really well-done and I love so many people involved, but overall the story didn't grab me. This sounds promising, though, perhaps.
