Denis Villeneuve's 'Enemy' Poster and Teaser

Denis Villeneuve's new film Prisoners starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal just came out this weekend but already the bromance between Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal has started. It is brilliantly adapted from the late Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago's 2002 novel, The Double. Gyllenhaal plays Adam Bell, a glum, disinterested history professor who stumbles into his doppleganger, an actor named Anthony Clair. How interesting that Villeneuve and Richard Ayoade both have new films featuring the notion of doubles (literally, Ayoade's film is called The Double) in their premise.

Villeneuve actually made Enemy before Prisoners and so when the hell is Enemy going to come out?! Enemy premiered at Toronto International Film Festival this past month and already, it got raving reviews. And hello, with a cast like this (Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent, Isabella Rossellini, Sarah Gadon and etc) why wouldnt it? This film is labeled at as an erotic thriller and by Villeneuve standards, we can all expect to have the intensity cranked to 1000+. I can't wait for this one. Denis Villeneuve is someone you should be constantly watching and obsessing over or basically you don't know anything about cinema. The end.
