Drugs, guns, and torture . . . meet THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE
Uday Hussein is supposedly a pretty crazy man. Imagine if you combined the gangsters from Scarface and Goodfellas with the Hussein family and you might get close to what you can expect from this fascinating man. The Devil’s Double is the true story about Latif Yahia, who was recruited by Saddam Hussein’s eldest son and one time heir, Uday, to become his permanent body double. The film premiered to high praise at The Sundance Film Festival early this year and is supposed to bring a hard R rating with it. Now, the crazy looking film is set to be released July 29th. Check out the first trailer for The Devil’s Double after the break.
Take a look at the Yahoo trailer below. Can we all agree, that this looks pretty amazing?

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
