Sad it wasn't picked up but I can see why it wasn't picked up. The lead actress was just meh. They tried to do too much in one episode, imho.

From: guest (rush) , 96 months, post #22
One more thing: Thanks to the OP. I have always wanted to see this pilot and you made my day! Now bring on Sam!

From: guest (Air Gear) , 96 months, post #23
It would have improved. I could see they were just starting to set up the building blocks for the series.

You had your Facundo (Paul), divorced with a daughter and the nemesis (was that Sergio originally), Connor. Obviously there was also the best friend who believed him, albeit understandably after needing a bit of convincing.

Saw some elements of the Portuguese version (falling asleep in the same house as his best friend, actually have to go shopping for a new wardrobe) and the Philippines one (not going back to his actual job anytime soon, he's going down the ladder just a bit).

I totally screwed up my post at #12.

I liked the best friend who was Grace, not Allison.

She's appeared in things much more recently than 2010.

As others have said this is an amazing find. Just like the Good bye Charlie tv series with Suzanne Somers. We Only have the pilot episode. That is the only thing that stinks is we will never get another episode. It looked like it could of had potential but we will never know. Also this lalola type tv show reminds me of Ele é Ela. Does not wear heels and wears suits and pants mostly.

From: guest (TheSaint) , 96 months, post #26
This is a fantastic find! I really cringed at the casting of Rhea Seehorn when I heard about this show back in the day, but after watching two seasons of Better Call Saul I'm mad this wasn't her big break to be a lead of a show.

I'm really hoping that with this strange new wave of feminism, anti-feminism, gamergate, "playing the woman card", transgender awareness, VR and etc. that maybe well see more storytellers try to explore the differences between the sexes in film and television.

I really hope someday we'll see a more thoughtful gender bender. It's been 25 years since Switch. Come on, Hollywood.

It was only one episode, we do not know where Eva might have want in her womanhood.

I think this is a new SAM trailer

@Saint

That's a better, slicker SAM trailer than the previous one from a year ago, which almost made the film look more like one of those innumerable, lame, made-for-Hallmark-Channel TV movies.

From: Air Gear , 96 months, post #30
It's like Waiting for Godot where the release of this film is concerned. I wouldn't be totally surprised if it turned out it didn't actually exist past the clips made to trick us into thinking it was a real film and that everyone who 'saw' it in festivals is just part of the conspiracy.

From: guest (Saint) , 96 months, post #31
I've seen it. It exists. The mirror, night gown, exploration scene is both amazing and nearly as short as it's seen in this trailer.

From: guest (Air Gear) , 96 months, post #32
I was thinking specifically of you when I wrote that.

You know you can only be made a saint after your death.

I'm onto you.

From: Holly Dunn , 96 months, post #33
Thank you Rush for finding and posting this!

I read a lot when this was in pilot stage. The director planned to give the female character a male shadow, which would slowly transform as the character's mind became more female.

This could have been a great series.

I will comment that while this was rejected and Sam hasn't sold is that Hollywood won't innovate. They want "The same story, but different," which has led to the same formula for every movie.

It also has kept actors like Rock Hudson in "The Closet."

So bummed on so many levels that this didn't make it to Lifetime or other Chick Flick channels.

Lalola was a hit in at least seven countries.

holy dunn, rush never found it I did don't want credit but please get the right person to thank if you are going to credit anybody

From: guest (Air Gear) , 96 months, post #35
And thanks again. I couldn't really imagine how it was going to be particularly good based just on the screenplay but seeing the actual video had it make much more sense. I think it also helped that they dropped a few of the details that seemed less likely to work.

(Along with the shadow idea, I think there might have been talk that he'd keep his actual reflection, though presumably that would have just been from his point of view lest things get really weird.)

From: Air Gear , 96 months, post #36
PS marc1013, I think what happened is that the top of this page was mistaken for the top of the first page, I've done that on occasionally before realising it's just the latest page. I'm sure it was just an honest mistake.

From: Holly Dunn , 96 months, post #37
My apologies. Yes, I went to the top of this page and not the first page, and credited the wrong person.

Thank you marc1013 for finding this and sharing it. My intent was to thank whomever posted it, because I have always wanted to see this, and that person is you! Thanks again. I'm sure a lot of people that come here have been dying to see it.

From: Tuggy24g , 96 months, post #38
For what it's worth I sent the video to Hulu on the off chance they might consider picking up the series.
