While Prisoners had its fair share of secrets, the marketing thus far for Denis Villeneuve‘s follow-up Enemy — actually shot before that WB release — is teasing something much more enigmatic and today we have a new teaser that fits the bill. Based on José Saramago’s novel The Double, the thriller also features Jake Gyllenhaal, this time as a character who comes across a man that looks exactly like him.
While it’s somewhat indiscernible what our lead says in his new peek, which lasts under a minute, it does present a series of enticing, sleek images, some of which are NSFW. The film, which premiered at TIFF and is among our most-anticipated of the year, is now out on DirecTV before a March 14th theatrical release. One can check out the brief teaser, additional stills, and a new featurette focusing on Melanie Laurent, Sarah Gadon and Isabella Rossellini below.
ENEMY tells the story of a university lecturer named Adam (Gyllenhaal) who is nearing the end of a relationship with his girlfriend Mary (Laurent). One night, while watching a film, Adam spots a minor actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his double, Adam tracks down Anthony, an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen (Gadon) and engages him in a complex and dangerous struggle. The film is a haunting and provocative psychosexual thriller about duality and identity, where in the end only one man will survive.
