Original Trailer of Argentinian Lalola with Original Lola (It's not Carla Peters
From: guest (Zhang Fei Fan) , 97 months, post #1
Ok, so I found this blog. It has the Youtube video of the original trailer. You can watch it in the blog or in Youtube.

http://blogs.lanacion.com.ar/esto-no-es-hollywood/uncategorized/carla-peterson-una-super-estrella-suplente/

I don't read Spanish so I translate it using Google. It appears that the actress is Nancy Duplaa but apparently she and many other actors dropped out when the station changed the concept from a tv film to a tv series. Perhaps this is inevitable since a series would typically takes longer time to shoot than a film and of course it will clash with the schedule of some actors.

From the video it appears that the actor who plays Lalo in this trailer is the one who plays Facundo in the series.

I Google a few more links and from translation it appears they heavily edited the script when they were doing reshooting. The company in which Lalo works was originally an advertising agency instead of a magazine.

The actor who played Facundo in the original trailer is billed as second male lead and the love line between him & Lola doesn't seems to be an important part of the story. The first male lead is someone who apparently held a high position in the company and it appears that there is no love line between him & Lola. This is not surprising though. Compared to series, it is far more common in film that first male lead and first female lead are not couple.

So we can speculate that since the love interest of Lola is only billed as second male lead and their love story is not emphasised (and the trailer only shows he has fall in love at the first sight on her, but there is no indication that Lola will fall for him in the future!), the original script was probably intended for Lola to changed back to be a guy at the end. This make sense in for a film. For her to prefer a being a woman, you need 100+ episodes to do that and the short span of time in a movie will not have the audience convinced that someone who had lived his entire life as man will want to stay as a woman.

So what do you think?

Will Nancy Duplaa makes a better Lola, or Carla Peterson is better?

Advertising company or magazine, which one do you prefer?

Facundo as second male lead & the Lola-Facundo love story being deemphasised (probably only a one sided crush by Facundo!), do you think this would make it better?

If Lola turns back to be man at the end, do you think this would make a better ending than the Carla Peterson version?

Imagine the implication if my speculation about the original script is true and they chose to stick with it!... Probably all of the foreign adaptions will have Lola changes back in the end. I have the feeling that most of the adaptions only choose to have Lola stays as woman because that is what it is in the original Argentinian version. if the Argentinian version choose to have Lola changed back to male, probably all the other adaptions would do the same!

This is an interesting "what could have been" situation...

I've seen this before but I'd have to say Carla Peterson, though. Admittedly it's not exactly a fair fight since we have so much more to go with for her part in the role.

Mind you, I'm a bit of an outlier because my favourite version is the Portuguese version, though I feel they missed a big opportunity with the ending (both of them).

What do you prefer as the ending for Ele E Ela?

From: guest (Air Gear) , 97 months, post #4
That's a difficult question. I don't think it helped that both of them were basically tacked on at the very end of the series. I also felt it was a missed opportunity as almost the entire office never ever found out, so basically you ended up having two almost unrelated stories running that never met - and the whole magazine side of things was never that interesting to be honest.

I actually came to think that if the mad scientist actually had a press conference on TV and after someone asked if it worked with humans, she 'outed' Julio, that would have made an interesting final day at the office to say the least and tied the two different storylines together.

OK, for the actual endings that we did get:

Well the one where he changes back when given the opportunity probably makes the most sense. That's really the most realistic outcome (I know, I know). Unfortunately, it kind of negates the whole storyline he had going with his father.

What I liked about this version was how he was upfront with his father almost from the outset (fairly unique for these spinoffs - though his hands were forced a bit by the threat to go to the police) and they do actually have a nice subplot going where after the initial shock, his father (and later aunt) are really supportive (probably too supportive with the whole 'find a nice man and settle down' side of things). I mean Julio is constrained a bit by the fact that getting his family to accept what really happened as being just too fantastical, so he has to go with the well, this is who I really was so I went and did this. Of course this all gets complicated by how is he going to explain after all this why (and even more so) how he changed back. Then the series ends though so we don't have to worry about that - just a bit unsatisfactory though.

The other ending confusingly uses the exact same montage to show his thought process as to not changing back as changing back. I sort of took all that montage as making sense as to deciding not to change back after remembering all the good times and thinking things weren't so bad after all, to the point of staying that way; doesn't really make any sense for the changing back version.

Anyway, another thing that's a bit odd is that if that was the way the story went is that he, well I guess she now once that decision's made can't just tell Gonzalo she's not interested because she's gay. The show in all its versions seemed to shy away from that as a possibility. I know it sort of comes up in the original but there's no follow through.

Anyway, either way it kind of ends where it could have potentially gotten interesting if they'd done just one more episode even. Mind you, if they're doing 2 different endings, I can see how they wouldn't want to waste money by filming two incompatible alternate episodes.

I think this would have been a rare occasion to end it ambiguously with Julio/Julieta looking at the pill in a container and thinking he/she could take it any time but just not quite yet as they think about it just a bit longer. After all, if it can be taken any time in the future, what's the rush?

I prefer the Chilean version where he turns back into a man. I also thought Blanca Lewin was super sexy.

How many more threads are going to be created for this series?

From: guest , 97 months, post #7
As many as it takes.

From: guest (Air Gear) , 97 months, post #8
There were 13 different versions of this show and the US pilot makes 14 I suppose. There's lot of different facets that can be talked about, especially since many of the different versions headed in quite different directions from the starting premise. There's a lot of things the old threads didn't cover.

Also, necro-ing old threads tends to be less effective in getting follow up posts than starting new threads with a clear reason in the subject as to what the particular thread has brought up this time and wants to discuss/focus on.

If this was a TV movie instead of a tv series I doubt it would be remade in other countries.

From: yoyo , 68 months, post #10
A movie version of Lalola is basically just another Goodbye Charlie. Don't get me wrong, but it's easily the most overused TG formula ever. Look at Sam or Sex Trip for example, just to mention a few recent ones. It would've been another one of those. Hell, someone just posted a new czechis version a few hours ago!
The best thing about Lalola is the fact that it's a TV show. It simply has way more time to develop storylines and such, and we don't really have many TG centric live action series anyway, to say the least. There's Lalola and it's remakes, and that's pretty much it.
So in a nutshell: I'm glad they made it into a TV show rather than a movie.
