Trivia:
This film is based on the novella The Double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
In 1996, Director Roman Polanski came close to making an earlier version of this film, also based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, and also to have been called The Double. John Travolta was to have played the lead role alongside Isabelle Adjani, John Goodman and Jean Reno, from a script by Jeremy Leven. Shooting was to have started in Paris in June 1996. However, just days before principal photography was due to begin, Travolta left the project after an argument with Polanski about alleged changes to the script and the film collapsed shortly afterwards.
The piano motif heard throughout the film comes from the song 'Der Doppelgänger' by Franz Schubert; the words to this piece tell the tale of a man and his evil twin.
