It is also the plot of the 1969 UK film Doppelganger (called Journey to the far side of the sun in the US). The opposite earth in the film is also opposite in everything being a mirror image of our earth. The film is watchable, but it is certainly no 2001 and the plot is very pedestrian.

The idea is a weird one it would be extraordinarily coincidental for two planets to be locked in the exact same orbit path in different phases.

I've never seen this, but this is exactly what I thought Melancholia was about. I was wrong.
