Indie film Dual, directed by Riley Stearns, which premiered at Sundance this year will come to screens this summer. The film, led by Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul, will arrive on UK screens on Sky Cinema on the big bank holiday Jubilee weekend, specifically Sunday 5th June.
The film revolves around ‘Sarah (Gillan) as she receives news that she has a terminal illness. Not wanting those around her to suffer after her passing, she purchases herself a double. Made from her DNA, the job of this double is to help her friends and family recover from Sarah’s death by seamlessly slotting into her life and replacing her. However, after recovering from the life-threatening condition, Sarah seeks to reclaim her life. In order to do this however, both versions of Sarah must take part in a ceremonial duel to the death.’
The movie was praised at the festival back in January, earning favourable reviews from many critics, including us.
We said of the sci-fi:
“Just the brand of quirky science-fiction that excels on the festival circuit, Dual will excite and tantalise audiences with an appetite for smaller and stranger films.”
