Twins is a comedy designed to pair the unlikely combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito. Julius Benedict (Schwarzenegger) has lived his entire life on a South Pacific island, an orphan raised by a scientist who knew that Julius was the product of a genetics experiment many years ago. Julius is a genius, fluent in languages, tall and athletic, knowledgeable about anything that he can read in a book. When he discovers that he actually has a twin brother, and thus a real family, he insists on leaving the island and going to Los Angeles to find his brother. His brother, Vincent (De Vito), is almost exactly the opposite, because in the experiment all of the good genes went to Julius, while the bad went to Vincent. Vincent is a small time con man, always on the run from loan sharks, who steals luxury cars from the airport parking garage and selling them to a chop shop.
However 'Twins' is similar to our film opening we are producing, at the same time they are very different, similarities being the story is based around two twins who eventually meet up, whereas our opening is more based around the darker streets which swallow deprived children in guiding them in the wrong direction to crime and vandalism, both brothers end up crossing each others paths of very different lives without realising. One brother is from a wealthy family the other split up when young, now on the streets playing the deprived brother, in our film we are trying to send moral messages on the differences between the complete different lifestyles and everyday life obstacles they both have to overcome.
The opening two minutes of both films are also fairly similar showing both lifestyles and the contrast in them. We are using this style of opening to introduce the brothers and to attract the audience and keep them in-grosed in watching the rest of the film.
