Richard Ayoade's (The IT Crowd, The Watch) debut film Submarine was widely regarded as a critical hit, and featured on many's Best of 2010 lists. Three years on, a trailer has been released for his follow-up feature The Double, which is an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel of the same name.
The book centres on a government clerk who goes mad, obsessed with the idea that a co-worker has stolen his identity (cheers Wikipedia). The film updates the plot to the modern day, and, if the IMDb's listing of it as a 'comedy' is anything to go by, focuses on its dark humour.
A fittingly paranoid trailer has now been released, which you can watch below....
The Double stars Jessie Eisenberg (Now You See Me) as both himself and his doppleganger, Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Noah Taylor (who Ayoade previously directed in Submarine). The movie screened at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday. Check back here very soon for our review.
Also, the music used in this trailer is Son House's Grinnin' In Your Face. You should probably add it to your portable music player of choice.
