Based on Adele Parks’ hit novel of the same name, ‘The Image of You’ costars Parker Young, Nestor Carbonell and Mira Sorvino
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 Campbell, 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 theaters and on digital May 10.
