“The Double” New Full Trailer — Director Richard Ayoade’s Doppelganger Flick starring Jesse Eisenberg

Jesse Eisenberg is a "creepy guy" who gets creeped out by a doppelganger in the new domestic trailer for "Submarine" director Richard Ayoade's hyper-stylized comedic nightmare "The Double." "The Social Network" star performs dual roles as the introverted Simon and the outgoing James: two office clerks who are not related but look exactly alike, complete with the same identical frumpy suit that resembles something David Byrne would've donned in a Talking Heads music video.

And while their co-workers aren't able to notice their striking physical similarities, Simon certainly doesn't consider the sudden appearance of James as a happy accident. Especially since James seems to be dead-set on charming his way into Simon's life -- perhaps with the evil intention of taking it over and pushing him out, but not before Simon gets to see his would-be girlfriend (Mia Wasikowska) stolen from under his fingertips. Ah man, creepy guys never win the girl.

"The Double" opens on iTunes/VOD and in theaters on May 9th.

synopsis:
Simon (Jesse Eisenberg) is a timid man, scratching out an isolated existence in an indifferent world. He is overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams. He feels powerless to change any of these things. The arrival of a new co-worker, James, serves to upset the balance. James is both Simon's exact physical double and his opposite - confident, charismatic and good with women. To Simon's horror, James slowly starts taking over his life.

“Evil in the Time of Heroes” Trailer — Greek Zombie Flick starring Billy Zane

When "an ancient power returns, to take savage vengeance on us all," there's only one man we can turn to in our time of need: Billy F-ing Zane!

Check out the cheesetastic trailer for the Grecian horror comedy "Evil in the Time of Heroes" that stars the Greek-American actor of "Titanic" as a cloaked mystical warrior from an ancient time who travels to contemporary Greece in order to help a ragtag crew of hapless Greeks save the city of Athens from hordes of zombies. Blood, guts, bullets, black beards and fried eggs -- what else do you need?

Directed by Yorgos Noussias, the zombie romp will have a stateside release on VOD beginning on March 25th.

synopsis:
Millennia ago in ancient Greece, blood-thirsty zombies begin wreaking havoc on humans, and only a mysterious cloaked hero (Billy Zane) and his otherworldly weapons can save them. Flash forward to the present day when Athens is once again plagued by the undead, and a ragtag band of human survivors is on the run. Among them are a taxi driver who seems to be immortal, a pair of hot-blooded soldiers with some serious chemistry, and a doctor who can’t stand to get his shoes dirty while stomping zombie heads. Meanwhile, the elusive hero is back -- but zombies are only half the problem. With less than a day before Greece is bombed to contain the zombie virus, it's a race against time for the remaining humans.
