Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowska, Noah Taylor, Chris O’Dowd, Wallace Shawn, James Fox, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine, Cathy Moriarty | Written by Richard Ayoade, Avi Korine | Directed by Richard Ayoade
When Richard Ayoade directed Submarine he gave us this slightly quirky tale of teen love, it was all a little fluffy and silly but very good. Moving onto The Double if you saw the trailer you could already see that it was something very different. Taking Jesse ‘soon to be Lex Luthor’ Eisenberg and giving him a nightmarish doppelgänger we are invited into a world where being nobody can get you replaced.
Simon James (Jesse Eisenberg) is nobody, he goes around the world unnoticed, ignored at work and not even noticed by the women of his dreams. When a new worker James Simon arrives James is the only one to notice that he is an exact replica of himself. As...

Who’s got two Eisenbergs and knows how to use them? That would be British sitcom star-turned director Richard Ayoade, whose second feature, the dementedly funny and even more unnerving The Double, is a buy one star, get one free affair. Playing opposite himself, Oscar-nominee Jesse Eisenberg puts on a paranoid clinic as a man literally at war with himself – or at least, a version of himself that’s smoother, sexier and more duplicitous than he could ever be. It’s a loopy, occasionally nasty experience that Eisenberg is pulling double-duty to shoulder, but it’s Ayoade who’s the real one to watch, as The Double cements him as one of Britain’s most promising up-and-coming directors.
Though best known in Britain as the endearingly oblivious Moss from The I.T. Crowd, North American viewers may only recognize Ayoade for as his role as the only thing even remotely...

Richard Ayoade is following up his critically-acclaimed debut, Submarine, with something slightly different: a fresh take on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella The Double, with Jesse Eisenberg playing both the lead and his doppelganger, and Mia Wasikowska their/his unrequited love. And to celebrate the film's screenings at the London Film Festival, here are two new and exclusive posters for it.Taking inspiration from the original text rather than slavishly following it to the letter, Ayoade's interpretation is far easier to enjoy than Dostoyevsky's treatise on madness and human decency. There are even a few curious cameos to enjoy along the way. Look out for Chris O'Dowd, for example, as well as Paddy Considine in a role that we're praying will live on in another medium somehow, somewhere, sometime.Without revealing too much, the plot centres on Eisenberg's shy and lonely Simon James and his much more vivacious and charming human facsimile,...

The Double
Written by Avi Korine and Richard Ayoade
Directed by Richard Ayoade
UK, 2013
Better to have an ungainly surplus of ideas than none at all; that seems to be Richard Ayoade’s philosophy behind The Double, a wild, uneven, but never dull sci-fi black comedy that purports to tackle Dostoevsky’s novella of the same name, but is at least as interested in pilfering visual ideas from films gone by while marrying them to Ayoade’s winningly dry comic sensibility.
Set in a bleak retro-futuristic dystopia, The Double stars Jesse Eisenberg, who amplifies his usual bumbling manner for slapstick’s sake, as Simon James, a number-cruncher at a massive corporation whose precise purpose is deliberately ambiguous. Simon dreams of climbing up the corporate ladder by earning the praise of his boss (Wallace Shawn) and makes pathetic attempts to flirt with a fellow employee, Hannah (Mia Wasikowska), but his persistent...

I had never watched an episode of The It Crowd before watching Richard Ayoade’s feature directorial debut, Submarine, a few years back. I have still yet to see an episode, as I fear it will ruin how sweet and beautiful that film was to watch. It has a nostalgic energy unlike most new age independent films, and has a distinct and unique voice. It was exciting to watch, and made me clamour to see what Ayoade (pronounced eye-oh-ah-dee for those just as confused as I was) had in store for us next.
Using the work of Fyodor Dostoyevsky as a jumping-off point, Ayoade’s second feature, The Double, revolves around lowly factory worker Simon James (Jesse Eisenberg). One morning, a man forces Simon out of his seat on an otherwise empty train, eventually revealing himself to be James Simon (Eisenberg) – his doppelgänger. Simon is introverted and quiet, whereas James is confident,...

Jesse Eisenberg stars alongside himself in Richard Ayoade's adaptation of a Dostoyevsky story about a meek office worker who is confronted by his confident, aggressive doppelgänger. It's a brilliant copy of a great original, says Henry Barnes
Dank and depressing, spurred by impotent rage and deflated ambition, The Double arrives as the black sheep of this year's Toronto film festival. It's a moody, gloomy comedy. A taut study of self-identity that comes up with no easy answers. It's totally out of step with the festival's sunny tastes. It might just be the best thing we'll see all week.
Submarine director Richard Ayoade's second film lays Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella out in a nowhere land of office bureaucracy. Jesse Eisenberg plays Simon James, a skivvying worker bee who's belittled by his colleagues and shunned by Hannah (Mia Wasikowska) the elfin girl who works the office's giant, clanking photocopier. Eisenberg also plays James Simon,...

It is being reported by The Beat that Joe Simon, the Golden Age comics writer and first Editor of Timely Comics (later known as Marvel Comics) and the man responsible for the creation of Captain America, Bucky Barnes, The Sandman, The Fly and countless others, has passed away.
News broke via Jim Simon‘s (Joe’s Son) Facebook page to friends and family earlier today. News is still sketchy and the circumstances of Joe’s passing have yet to be confirmed. We will update this page regularly as we receive more details but this really sad news to report on, particularly so quickly after the recent death of The Joker co-creator Jerry Robinson.
In some ways, two of WhatCulture!’s most beloved recent film blockbusters are great dedications to both Robinson and Simon with The Dark Knight giving us Heath Ledger’s timeless and Academy Award winning performance as The...
