"What has Anna told you about her past?" Paramount Movies has revealed an official trailer for a romantic comedy thriller titled The Image of You, from filmmaker Jeff Fisher. Arriving to watch in theaters and on VOD directly this May - from director who mostly works in TV and directs cheesy romantic TV movies. The film is about identical twins Anna and Zoe - both played by Sasha Pieterse. It's based on the book of the same name and that description sums it up nicely: Anna and Zoe are twins. Identical in appearance, utterly different in personality, they share a bond so close that nothing – or no one – can rip them apart. Until Anna meets charismatic Nick. Anna is trusting, romantic & hopeful; she thinks Nick is perfect. Zoe is daring, dangerous & extreme; she thinks Nick is a liar. Zoe has seen Anna betrayed by men before. She'll stop at nothing to discover if Nick is as good as he seems. The problem is, lies may hurt. But honesty can kill… The movie also stars Parker Young, Nestor Carbonell, Mira Sorvino, Michele Nordin, Rebekah Graf, and Ben Milliken. This looks extra twisted and cheap and very much like a made-for-TV soap opera trash.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Jeff Fisher's The Image of You, direct from Paramount's YouTube:

Sasha Pieterse, Parker Young, Nestor Carbonell, and Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino star in this twisted tale of deception and desire based on the bestselling thriller by Adele Parks. Identical twins Anna and Zoe find their bond tested over Anna's new love, Nick. While the trusting Anna is head over heels, her skeptical sister Zoe senses a web of deceit. But as Zoe digs for the truth, they're all pulled into a dangerous game where honesty could prove fatal. The Image of You is directed by TV writer / producer / director Jeff Fisher, director of Killer Movie previously, plus lots of TV work + TV movies including Christmas Camp and My Christmas Love. The screenplay is written by Chris Sivertson, adapted from the novel of the same name written by Adele Parks MBE. Produced by Ernie Barbarash, Brad Krevoy, David M. Wulf. Paramount Movies debuts The Image of You in select US theaters + on VOD starting on May 10th, 2024 coming soon.

Sasha Pieterse is double the trouble in The Image of You.

From Republic Pictures (a Paramount Pictures label), the thriller (in theaters May 10) based on Adele Parks’ hit novel stars the Pretty Little Liars actress as Anna — and Zoe, identical twins in a “twisted tale of deception and desire,” per an official synopsis.

“Anna and Zoe find their bond tested over Anna's new love, Nick,” played by Parker Young. The synopsis continues: “While the trusting Anna is head over heels, her skeptical sister Zoe senses a web of deceit. But as Zoe digs for the truth, they're all pulled into a dangerous game where honesty could prove fatal.”

“I don’t trust him,” says Zoe in the film’s trailer, shared exclusively with PEOPLE. “He’s way too hot not to be a complete tool.”
“Maybe this one is different,” whispers Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, who plays the twins’ mother, Alexia. She can later be heard screaming in terror and at one point imploring Zoe: “Please don’t do anything rash.”

“When have I ever done anything rash?” counters Zoe, who is glimpsed meeting Nick for herself — and crossing the line with her sister’s fiancé.

In November, Pieterse, 28, began promoting The Image of You following SAG-AFTRA’s Hollywood actors strike. “I can finally start sharing behind the scenes of my new movie, Image of You! So many more photos to come,” the actress teased in an Instagram caption.

In another post soon afterward, Pieterse posted a photo of her standing with costar Young, whose mouth is open in terror. “What are you so scared of @parker.young 😇 #imageofyou,” she wrote.

Speaking to PEOPLE in 2019, Pieterse called the conclusion of her hit show Pretty Little Liars, on which she played Alison DiLaurentis, “an end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.” She has since launched a lifestyle website and cookbook called Sasha in Good Taste.
“Obviously acting is always something that’ll be a part of my life and I hope to continue that always, but I think Sasha in Good Taste is going to be a big part of the next couple of years,” she said at the time.

The Image of You, also costarring Nestor Carbonell, is directed by Jeff Fisher and adapted by Chris Sivertson and Parks from her best-selling 2017 novel. A best-selling British novelist, Parks was awarded a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her literature.

Republic Pictures will release The Image of You in select theaters and on digital May 10.

Parker Young (United States of Al), Nestor Carbonell (The Morning Show), Michele Nordin (Justified) and Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Shining Vale) also star in the film from MPCA (Double Life, Margaux) — an adaptation of the same-name novel from UK-based bestseller Adele Parks MBE, which Jeff Fisher (Killer Movie) directs from a script by Chris Sivertson (Monstrous).

The first project to emerge from a multi-picture deal between MPCA and Parks, The Image of You has Pieterse playing identical twins Anna and Zoe, who share a bond so close that nothing — and no one — can tear them apart. While Anna is romantic and trusting, her sister Zoe is daring and dangerous. When Anna meets charismatic Nick (Young), an ambitious stock trader, she thinks he’s perfect. But Zoe, who has seen Anna betrayed by men before, doesn’t trust him. She’s determined to discover the truth about Nick, no matter who stands in the way.

Sorvino and Carbonell play the twins’ wealthy parents, Alexia and David, who are harboring secrets of their own, with Nordin as Nick’s sister, Rebecca. Producers are MPCA CEO Brad Krevoy, David Wulf and Ernie Barbarash. MPCA’s Amanda Phillips, Lorenzo Nardini and Kaan Karahan are exec producing alongside AJ Riach.

Said author Parks in a statement to Deadline, “I am utterly thrilled by the immense talent MPCA have assembled to take my story on this journey from page to screen. Having had the honour and opportunity to observe the remarkable, vibrant and passionate performances throughout filming, I simply can’t wait for the audiences to see this tense and beautiful movie. It’s an absolute treat!”

Added Krevoy, “Sasha is an incredible actress, and I know she, Parker, Nestor, Michelle and Mira will bring Adele’s compelling, complex characters to life, while Jeff’s creative vision and dedication will really elevate the project into a great film.”

Best known for her role as Alison DeLaurentis in Pretty Little Liars and its spin-off Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, Pieterse has also previously been seen in films like The Honor List, Inherent Vice and Coin Heist. She can currently be seen in Netflix’s three-film family franchise Ivy + Bean, based on the bestselling book series by Annie Barrows.

Young starred opposite Adhir Kalyan on CBS’ sitcom United States of Al, portraying combat veteran Riley in the show from EP Chuck Lorre. Other notable credits for him on the TV side include Imposters, Twenties, Enlisted and Arrow.

Carbonell can be seen playing meteorologist Yanko Flores on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, which returns for its third season in September. He’s also had major roles on Bates Motel and Lost, and been seen in two of the Dark Knight films from Christopher Nolan.

Nordin has been seen to date on shows like Coyote, Justified, Royal Pains and Californication, to name just a few.

Sorvino portrays Rosemary, a spirit haunting the home of a dysfunctional Connecticut family, in Starz’s horror comedy series Shining Vale, and currently be seen starring in Angel Studios’ surprise box office hit Sound of Freedom. Other recent credits for the actress include the films Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and After Ever Happy, as well as Impeachment: American Crime Story.

Directed by Jeff Fisher with a screenplay by Chris Sivertson, the film features a talented cast including Parker Young and Néstor Carbonell.

Audiences are getting double the Sasha Pieterse with the upcoming thriller The Image of You. The Pretty Little Liars star plays identical twins Anna and Zoe, whose tight-knit bond is tested when love enters the mix. While one falls madly for her new boyfriend, the other goes down a rabbit hole that lands them all in a dangerous game. Collider is excited to share an exclusive poster that emphasizes the twins' dynamic, showing Anna happy in the arms of Nick (Parker Young) while Zoe looms in the shadows, eyeing the couple with suspicion while bathed in a sinister red light.

The Image of You takes its cues from the bestselling 2017 novel of the same name by Adele Parks MBE which follows the two twins who are as alike in appearance as they are different in personality. While Anna is the trusting romantic who sees the man of her dreams in Nick, Zoe, the more daring, extreme sister, doesn't buy his facade one bit. Fearful of her sister being betrayed and heartbroken yet again by some liar she met online, Zoe sets out to learn if Nick really is the perfect man for Anna or if there's a darker side to him that he's trying to hide. All her poking and prodding leaves them all stuck in a situation where honesty could be deadly.

Pieterse was a fixture in the Pretty Little Liars universe as Alison DiLaurentis, playing the character in 158 episodes across seven seasons and later reprising the role in the spinoff, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. Since then, she's appeared in two Ivy + Bean films at Netflix, though her career has also included roles in a few bigger projects like Paul Thomas Anderson's star-studded 2014 feature Inherent Vice. In addition to Young, who's best known for Arrow and The Imposters, she's joined in her new thriller by The Dark Knight alum Néstor Carbonell and Academy Award-winning Mighty Aphrodite star Mira Sorvino.
