Jake Gyllenhaal Starring in 'An Enemy'?

Jake Gyllenhaal is reportedly in talks to star in the upcoming indie flick An Enemy.

The 31-year-old actor would team up with director Denis Villeneuve on the movie based on Jose Saramago‘s novel “The Double.”

“The story revolves around a dysfunctional history teacher who accidentally discovers his exact double on a rented DVD, seeks him out and ends up turning both of their lives upside down,” according to Variety.

The trade adds that if he takes on the project, Jake would play two roles in the film, which is being described as “dark and edgy.”
