Why Two Charlene's.....?

What is the story with this image? It's actually on the back of the DVD slipcase.

Is this just symmetry in an advertising campaign or was her "twin" performance edited down to one character?

[Mike Thomason]

It was just the publicity campaign, as it was well-known beforehand that Ekin was playing two roles -- the whole "twin" ideology was part of the marketting campaign.

I was definitely influenced by that image on the back of the DVD case.

As I was watching the film, I kept thinking that some twist to the story was going to be that there were TWO Charlene's, which would have explained the swing in the character from being super-cool to being as dumb as a wall.

I would not be surprised if some early draft of the script had this element.

I liked this film quite a bit.

So did I! I don't mind saying that I loved it and thought it was greatly entertaining -- but that's my bias, I love the Pangs and Charlene (as well as still harbour a lot of time for Ekin) so it was always going to be a win-win equation for me.

A bit off topic...

Before knowing who's the director of this movie, I thought it was Fruit Chan because this:



reminds me the poster which Fruit Chan shot for "Mother's Choice"

Cool. Definitely not a coincidence. Now I wonder if the Charlene poster has a similar antecedent?

[dleedlee]

yes, cool x 2 !

Found this from the old newspaper.
