Britain´s culture-clash comedy ”East is East” gets sequel
SvarSletThe article is an interview with Leslee Udwin, write by Tony Tharakan, 2010. Lesslee Udwin has produced the movie East is East and later the movie West is West. He always felt there was a trilogy, because he learned so much of the writers own story when he produced East is East. After 10 years, there becomes a sequel. They had used the same actors in the 3 films, so the actors are much closed, and they had been that since they made East is East. You don´t have to see the first film to get the messaged in the other films, because it´s has their own story and messaged.
