Submarine director (and hilarious comedian) Richard Ayoade has found his leading man for his next feature. Or men, actually. Jesse Eisenberg has signed on for a dual role in The Double. Based on the classic Russian novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Double tells the tale of a young man that goes insane when his doppelganger begins working in his office. The story has been updated to take place in contemporary America, so as not to totally depress the crap out of everyone.

What remains unclear is whether or not the double-shot of Eisenberg will be brought to the screen via Winklevoss technology or if Michael Cera will also be hired. (Vulture)

No Hyperbole! Okay, well, maybe a little. Writer/Director Richard Ayoade, best know as Moss from the British Channel 4 sitcom “The IT Crowd,” has put together a first feature that looks pretty fantastic. If the trailer is any indication, Submarine should have film lovers, cinema majors, and quirky, multi-colored font enthusiasts jumping for joy. The film, about a 15 year old boy coming of age amidst first love and divorced parents, features original music by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys, and is executive produced by Ben Stiller.
