Jake Gyllenhaal Enemy thriller asks the public about what they would most likely do once they find someone else who looks exactly just like them. Spotting a doppelganger, which is the term given to someone who seems to look exactly the same with someone else, is the premise of Jake Gyllenhaal Enemy psychosexual thriller.
Jake Gyllenhaal Enemy, from Jose Saramago's novel, "The Double," features Adam, a lecturer in the university, who experiences an impending break up with girlfriend Mary, played by Melanie Laurent. While he was watching a movie, he finds a minor actor who looks exactly like him. Jake Gyllenhaal Enemy then becomes focused on personally meeting his doppelganger and tracks him down. The doppelganger, Anthony, lives with his pregnant wife, Helen, played by Sarah Gadon.
Denis Villeneuve, Academy Award nominated director hinted about how he chose the actors for his film. He said, "In terms of finding a lead actor for these dual parts, I was looking for someone who I would be able to share creativity and collaborate with. In Jake, I found someone that was highly intelligent and creative. He had a beautiful vision for the characters. It's always fantastic for a director when your lead actor is so good that you can just follow him instead of telling him where to go. I love that."
Miguel A. Faura, Spanish producer of Jake Gyllenhaal Enemy thriller flick, shared, "When Jake's name was first put on the table, we immediately realized we needed him. Not only is he an extremely gifted actor capable of delivering the wide range of subtleties needed for these two roles, but he has always showcased his taste and love for art and cinema in each role he has taken on. When he said, 'Yes', we felt not only lucky, but reaffirmed about the inner quality of our project."
Jake Gyllenhaal was also asked about what he thought of the movie, and it would seem that he fell in love with the script at first sight. He said, "First and foremost, I wanted to make this movie because I think Denis is an incredible filmmaker. I was really drawn to the incredible script, which offered an interesting blueprint for what Denis wanted to do with this idea. When I first met with Denis and talked about the film, his idea of what it was and what he wanted it to be far surpassed what the script was saying."
