Can you believe it's been 14 years since El Clon first aired?! (14 years, 10 months, 20 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did El Clon end?
When El Clon came to an end after 1 year in October 2010, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Lucas Ferrer / Diego Ferrer / Daniel Padilla (Mauricio Ochmann), Alejandro Cortes (Roberto Manrique) and Jade Mebarak (Sandra Echeverría). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would an El Clon reunion disappoint people?
El Clon aired from 2010-2010 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Ochmann said he's not sure if El Clon would work today. “I don't want to see old Lucas Ferrer / Diego Ferrer / Daniel Padilla,” he told a journalist (Ochmann turned 47 in November). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for an El Clon movie?
In a recent interview, Sandra Echeverría said she can't imagine an El Clon reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Alex Rodriguez (who played Julio) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did an El Clon movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be an El Clon film, Roberto Manrique stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about an El Clon reboot?
Recasting El Clon for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of an El Clon reunion, an El Clon movie, or an El Clon reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
