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)

I’ve been getting hundreds of emails a day, all with the same basic message: “More Richard Gere news!” With that in mind, here’s the latest on the Richard Gere drama The Double, the debut feature from Michael Brandt: It’s been picked up by Image Entertainment, in advance of its premiere at Cannes. Here’s a plot synopsis, in case the involvement of Richard Gere isn’t enough:

“A retired CIA operative is paired with a young FBI agent to figure out who killed a senator. The clues indicate that he might have been a victim of a Soviet assassin.”

The Double also stars Topher Grace and Martin Sheen, neither of which are Richard Gere. So keep your eyes peeled, Gere fans! The Double will come to a theater near you, maybe. (Deadline)
