After causing quite a stir at Sundance, RLJE Films has debuted the first trailer for Riley Stearns' sci-fi thriller Dual, which stars Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul.
The Guardians of the Galaxy actress plays a terminally ill woman who decides to have herself cloned to ease the pain of her passing for her friends and family. But when she makes a miraculous recovery, her attempts to have her clone (also played by Gillan) decommissioned fail and lead to a court-mandated duel to the death.
The trailer reveals that Paul plays the man who trains her for combat, but the lead-up to the big event is complicated when her cunning clone begins to take over her life.
Check out the trailer below along with a poster, and let us know what you think. Dual is set for release on April 15.
Recently diagnosed with a rare and incurable disease, Sarah is unsure how to process the news. To help ease her friends’ and family’s impending loss, she is encouraged to participate in a simple futuristic cloning procedure called “Replacement,” after which Sarah’s last days will be spent teaching the clone how to live on as Sarah once she’s gone. But while it takes only an hour for a clone to be made, things become significantly more challenging when that double is no longer wanted.
