New Full Trailer for 'The Double' Starring Jesse Eisenberg


If it seems like we've been seeing a lot of Richard Ayoade's The Double, it's because we have. After a number of teasers, including the "Two Snakes" footage released just a few days ago, now the first proper trailer has been released for the doppelganger flick starring Jesse Eisenberg and....Jesse Eisenberg.

Based loosely on Dostoyevsky's novella, the film has Eisenberg as Simon James, an introverted man whose life begins to crumble when his exact duplicate begins to make its presence felt. As the more confident version of himself begins to take over, looking to steal his job and the girl he loves, Simon must fight back to reclaim his life.

Co-starring Mia Wasikowska, Wallace Shawn, and Noah Taylor, The Double opens May 9th.
