Patrick Bauchau arranged for the filmmakers to use the medical set of his television series, The Pretender (1996)
First film role for fashion model Michele Hicks.
To keep the focus on the human element, the Polish brothers wanted to give the film a timeless quality hearkening back to the 1970s, '60s and even '30s, when Chang and Eng Bunker were still alive who were the inspiration for the film. In 1972, for instance, the year Blake and Francis were born, medical science did not have the equipment or know-how to separate twins fused so intricately. Instead, conjoined children were most likely hidden away from the world by stunned parents, or given up for adoption. For Blake and Francis' mother, "time stood still when her sons were born," explains Michael Polish, "and in some ways the twins, too, remain stuck." As a result, the twins' clothing is reminiscent of an earlier era while their mother's apartment-number 1972, significantly-is decorated in the bright orange hues that were popular three decades ago.
Is Michael Polish's directorial debut feature.
According to Mark Polish, the film could be seen as a statement of what Michael and himself, the co-writers and the protagonists of the film, feel about each other in real life. For Mark, "all identical twins run the risk of fusion".
"Blake Falls: Maybe I'll call you... when I'm single."
"Blake: The story of me is over. Penny: In time, every sad ending will become happy. Blake: [voice over] The sad ending is only because the author stops telling the story. But it still goes on. It's just untold."
