UNITED THEY STAND Conjoined twins–formerly (and politically incorrectly) labeled “Siamese”–are undergoing a pop-cultural rebirth, judging from these upcoming works:
Twin Falls, Idaho, a romantic drama opening July 30, stars real-life twins Michael and Mark Polish as twins who share a torso and a hooker girlfriend
Stuck on You, a comedy co-starring Woody Allen as half of a conjoined-twin pair, is being developed by gross-out auteurs Peter and Bobby Farrelly
Chang and Eng: A Novel in Two Parts, based on the twins who emigrated in the 1840s from then Siam, is due out from Dutton next spring
