Trivia / The Double

• Acting for Two: Jesse Eisenberg plays both Simon and James. Despite the fact that they look and dress exactly identical, it's easy for the audience to tell them apart.
• Follow the Leader: The film took some clear inspiration from Brazil, with both darkly comic films centering on an office drone lost in a sea of nonsensical bureaucracy and malfunctioning technology who pines after a girl.
• Production Posse: Richard Ayoade's The IT Crowd co-star Chris O'Dowd has a cameo as the short-tempered nurse in charge of Hannah.
