The film is based on a true story and shows a chilling vision of the House of Saddam Hussein, as it comes to life through the eyes of Latif Yahia, the man who was forced to become the double of Hussein's sadistic son, Uday Hussein.
Featuring a stunning dual performance by Dominic Cooper, the film is a brutal look at what happens when unfettered power is given to an absolute psychopath.
Directed by Lee Tamahori (Once Were Warriors, Die Another Day), Icon Film Distribution will release The Devil's Double in Australian cinemas early 2012.
