A new adaptation for Denis Villeneuve

Denis Villeneuve will adapt the book as I did the other for film.

After experiencing a stunning success with the film adaptation of the play Fires of Wajdi Mouawad, Denis Villeneuve will do the same for the book as I did the other Nobel Prize for Literature José Saramago.

According to La Presse , the shooting would begin in the spring. Currently no actor has been chosen. 

The film, entitled Enemy ( an enemy ), is a co-production between Canada and Spain. It will be shot in English in Toronto.

" Enemy is an intimate film. It's a trip and film directing. And a break with the violence of my previous films. I needed to address other topics. It's a small film. A personal project that I developed in parallel, then I received the proposals of scenarios of the United States. Paradoxically, this one will be first, "said Villeneuve daily. 

The book, published in 2002, tells the story of a teacher of 38 years, divorced and lonely, who becomes obsessed with his perfect double spotted by chance in a film.

Denis Villeneuve is no shortage of projects. He is also working on the adaptation of the novel American Darling by Russell Banks, while the American film Prisoners is delayed.
