The Double, an updated version of the 1846 novella by Dostoyevsky, directed and written by Richard Ayoade and starring Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska, is about a man who finds his life being taken over by a doppelganger, as is always the case with doppelgangers, we’ve come to discover. This one looks remarkably similar to Jesse Eisenberg (we’re guessing because they’re both played by Jesse Eisenberg) but is way more confident and successful. The film is making its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival right now.
