A reason as to why I like this trailer.

It gives nothing away, but just a small indication of what COULD happen. I find it genius. I hate it when trailers give you everything that happens in a movie.

A notable exception is Iron Man 3, which I enjoyed the trailer more than the movie. I hated The Mandarin :lol:

while I agree, this trailer gives no indication even as to what genre this movie falls into

Well first of all you guys are dumb, as its clearly a film about a guy who has a doppelgänger that follows him about. There's that shot in the trailer at about 00:19 where he looks through the curtain and he's just staring back at him. That infers a stalker-ish vibe to me. The trailer has conveyed the basic concept of the film without giving away many if any plot details. Something 99% of trailers fail to do these days and just seem to opt to show the funniest bits or the best looking scenes. Like Elysium, J saw that the other day and its a decent film but the trailers tell you 75% of the story so while the action is really cool and the general quality of the film is good the plot actually ends up leaving a fair amount to be desired.

And anyway, even if I hadn't got that from the trailer I'd be intrigued as fuck (more than I am now which is a lot) as to what this film was about. I'd happily spend my money to allow the sense of discovery that'll be granted regardless of the quality of the film.

or it could be his mentally challenged twin (drama), or his psychopath twin/doppelganger (thriller,horror), or it could be his wacky projected conscience getting him into all kinds of shenanigans (comedy). I doubt it's the last one but you get my point.

Personally, I'm not interested in the film, though it does have potential.
Gotta be honest though, the trailer is pretty garbage. I'm no expert in cinematography, but what fanboy's saying is pretty much my initial thought: It really doesn't say anything about the movie. All it says is "This guy has a double". And the movie's called 'The Double', so what's gained from the minute of people looking around? While trailers don't always have to give the plot away, they should at least give the viewer a more solid idea of what they're in for, rather than a vague description of what it MIGHT be about.

Speaking of trailers that show the whole plot (of fake movies), this one has to be my favorite.
