In this exclusive Blu-ray featurette from the upcoming release of "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/457505/moviemain.jhtml"]The Double[/url]," [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/208079/personmain.jhtml"]Topher Grace[/url] explains how he's on the side of the audience, in more ways then one.

Grace's character is charged with the difficult task of bringing down a Soviet assassin, who unbeknownst to him is actual his mentor, Paul, played by [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/23407/personmain.jhtml"]Richard Gere[/url].

"My character Ben Geary's a lot like the audience. He's new to Paul's situation," Grace says in an interview for the Blu-ray. "He's kind of with the audience in terms of figuring out what's going on. We both are trying to make it something different and more real and unique."

The film's director, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/171123/personmain.jhtml"]Michael Brandt[/url], explains in his own interview that he wanted to make a spy movie that didn't feel like a spy movie. In particular, he wasn't looking for the tense glances and trench coats.

"I didn't want it to feel like a quiet spy movie," Brandt says in the featurette, along side his co-writer Derek Haas. "I wanted it to feel like a movie with a lot of momentum, a movie with a lot of action, in a sense, but really kind of a movie with a forward thrust to it."

"The Double" hits Blu-ray and DVD today (January 31).
