In the trailer for The Double, Jesse Eisenberg shows multiple sides to his doppelgangers when he makes moves on Mia Wasikowska.
For fans looking to see Eisenberg stretch his versatility some more in lieu of recent castings, Richard Ayoade’s upcoming The Double may be a good place to start, as Eisenberg plays not only the introverted Simon, but also his doppelganger, James Simon.
Yes, in a stylish new film, from the writer and director of Submarine, comes a picture that visually looks to bend its reality as much as Eisenberg’s presence. As Simon, he is the “creepy guy” that won’t leave Mia Wasikowska alone. Yet, as James he is the charming seducer that will make Simon look all the worse, especially if James Simon is committing crimes with his face. Or is that just Simon?
The Double opens in limited release on May 9, 2014.
