Richard Ayoade‘s second feature film, The Double, releases in April but that’s left plenty of time for a new trailer for the dark comedy/thriller which shows us just that little bit more.
Jesse Eisenberg will star as Simon James, a timid man living in a strange world. He’s under-appreciated and unloved by those around him. When a new employee turns up in his world Simon’s life is turned upside down, because he has the exact same face as he, and his name, James Simon. From the looks of things, Simon James seems to be the only person who knows this, and as he gets to know James Simon his life becomes one big mess as it seems the double is trying to take over his life.
The trailer gave us an added treat as we see that Ayoade’s former IT Crowd co-stars Chris O’Dowd and Christopher Morris will be making appearances in the film, as well as Craig Roberts, the star of Ayoade’s first feature, Submarine.
The Double will be released come April 4th 2014 and it’s already being touted as one of the most exciting films of the year. Check out the trailer below.
