He might be best known as Moss from The IT Crowd, but Richard Ayoade proved himself to be a director worth keeping an eye on with 2010's Submarine. Now he's back in the director's chair with an adaption of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Double. The comedy-drama stars Jesse Eisenberg as a man driven to madness with the appearence of his doppelganger. So, belly laughs all round then.
Judging from the pictures below, Ayoade has constructed something extremely moody and atmospheric that it is hard to see where the comedy comes in (but I have no doubt it's there). Couple that with an interesting cast, including Wallace Shawn (who will forever be known as Rex from Toy Story), Noah Taylor, and Mia Wasikowska, The Double is definitely one to keep an eye on.
The film is currently in post-production, and has no release date yet.
