By Jason Apuzzo. We wanted to remind Libertas readers that The Devil’s Double, a new film about the mobster-like lifestyle of Saddam Hussein’s son Uday (‘The Black Prince”) – and the moral crisis faced by his body double Latif Yahia – hits theaters this Friday, July 29th. The film stars Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark in Captain America) as both Uday and Latif Yahia, and also stars French actress Ludivine Sangier as Uday’s mistress, Sarrab. The film is based on the real-life memoirs of Latif Yahia, and is directed by veteran director Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day, The Sopranos, Next). Libertas’ Joe Bendel reviewed The Devil’s Double in January at Sundance and absolutely loved it. Be sure to catch the film’s trailer here, and you can also see a colorful new music video remix of the trailer here.
The New York Times interviews star Dominic Cooper today, a story that includes a new clip of the film, and you can also catch extended video interviews with Cooper here and here. If you’re looking for tickets to the film, which are likely to go fast as it’s in limited release, be sure to check out the film’s Facebook page. We’re definitely looking forward to this …

Dominic Cooper plays _Howard_ Stark, Tony’s _father_ in the WWII-set “Captain America.” (Sorry–couldn’t resist)
Oops! Good pick-up there, M, my mistake. I will correct.
You know something, though? They might just as well have named him Howard Hughes. 😉
Well, yeah, that was pretty obvious with the ‘stache and airplanes, but a nice touch as well as to establish the Stark genetic propensity for leggy chorus gals and bright red metal thingys. (Does Cooper know he grows up to be John Slattery by Iron Man 2?)
