The piano motif 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.
An earlier version of this film, also based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, and also to have been called The Double, came close to being made by director Roman Polanski in 1996. 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.
Many of director Richard Ayoade's The I.T. Crowd's co-stars and the principal cast of his first feature as director, Submarine, feature in this film. Chris O'Dowd and Christopher Morris starred alongside Ayoade in the Channel 4 sitcom, while Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine, and Noah Taylor were the stars of the indie film set in South Wales.
In the ballroom scene a singer performs "East Virginia" with a band. The singer is Finnish semi-retired pop-star "Danny". The director spotted him on Youtube. The band is his backing band, The Islanders.
The first line of Yasmin Paige's character, Melanie, is "Idiot!", the title of another novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, author of the novel upon which this film is based.
"Simon: I don't know how to be myself. It's like I'm permanently outside myself. Like, like you could push your hands straight through me if you wanted to. And I can see the type of man I want to be versus the type of man I actually am and I know that I'm doing it but I'm incapable of what needs to be done. I'm like Pinocchio, a wooden boy. Not a real boy. And it kills me."
"Simon: I have all these things that I want to say to her, like... Like how I can tell she's a lonely person, even if other people can't. Cause I know what it feels like to be lost and lonely and invisible."
