The IT Crowd star Richard Ayoade will make his sophomore directorial effort with the Jesse Eisenberg starring The Double, reports Vulture.
The film is based on Russian scribe Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel which is about a government clerk "whose life unravels after what he believes is a literal facsimile of himself - same appearance, same name, same hometown - begins working in his office.) Vulture describes it as "Fight Club for bureaucrats."
Ayoade just directed the directed the very well received Submarine, and has also helmed episodes of the very funny NBC comedy series, Community.
