Dual Interview: Aaron Paul, Karen Gillan, Beulah Koale & Riley Stearns - Sundance 2022

Writer-director Riley Stearns is back with another feature that feels very specific to his voice and style. Dual stars Karen Gillan as Sarah — and also as Sarah’s Double. 

The story takes place in a world where a cloning technology exists that lets people who are dying create a copy of themselves to live on with their loved ones. Sarah opts to put this technology to use after she’s diagnosed with a terminal illness. However, after her "replacement" is created, Sarah finds out that she’s actually in full remission. The law states that only dying individuals are allowed to have clones, so now Sarah and her double must duel to the death to figure out who will live on as the one and only Sarah.

With Dual celebrating its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, I got the chance to chat with Stearns, Gillan, and also with Beulah Koale who plays Peter, Sarah’s boyfriend, and Aaron Paul who plays Trent, Sarah’s combat trainer for the duel.

Check out what the group had to say about the development of this replacement technology, whether or not they'd use it, the Mandy Easter egg that didn't make it into the final cut, and loads more in this Sundance 2022 interview!

He said this is an alternate world, that surprised me. I thought it was supposed to be this world, in the near-future.
