After 'The White Lotus' and 'The Gentlemen," the British-born actor takes his biggest risk yet in a dual role that doubles down on terror and comedy.

The actor discusses playing twins in Osgood Perkins’s horror film, finding humor in dark situations and why that monkey is so, so creepy.

The glittering cast includes Tatiana Maslany from Netflix's hit series Orphan Black, as well as Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) in a small role. Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth) plays both twins Bill and Hal in childhood, while Theo James (The Gentleman) portrays the pair as adults.

Theo James plays the adult version of twins Bill and Hal, and definitely brought different energy to create them (with an especially surprising vibe for Bill). Osgood wonders aloud if all objects are cursed,

The plot revolves around twin brothers who discover their father's toy monkey in the attic, resulting in a series of bizarre and bloody deaths. The movie is headlined by Theo James who plays the dual roles of Bill and Hal. James spoke to Screen Rant about his preparation for the dual roles.

Even though it takes major liberties with the Stephen King short story that inspired it, Osgood Perkins's film The Monkey still follows the basic premise of the original. It focuses on a guy dealing with a magical toy monkey that causes mysterious and absurd deaths every time it bangs its drum.
