The Double
Richard Ayoade is set to return to the director's chair at the beginning of April, with his new film The Double.
Ayoade made his feature film directorial debut back in 2011 with the critically acclaimed Submarine, and now he is back with the adaptation of the novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
As well as being in the director's chair, Ayoade has teamed up with Avi Korine to pen the screenplay.
There are just a couple of weeks to go before the release of the film, and we have the first clip for you to take a look at:
Ayoade has brought together a fantastic cast as Jesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowska, Sally Hawkins, and Chris O'Dowd are all on board.
Simon (Eisenberg) 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, Hannah (Wasikowska).
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 has already proved himself to be an exciting talent in front of and behind the camera, and he really does have a long directing career ahead of him.
The Double is released 4th April.
