IMDb profile

Tom & Thomas is a 2002 Dutch and British family drama film in which Sean Bean stars as the caring single adoptive father of one of a set of identical twins -played by Aaron Johnson- separated years earlier. The film follows the two boys as they meet, and having come to the attention of a corrupt orphanage manager are instrumental in smashing a child smuggling ring.

The movie was filmed on the following locations:
London Southbank (UK), scene were the two boys mock about throwing snowballs.
Notting Hill (UK), where Sean Bean and Aaron Johnson get in the car.
Haarlem (NL), is where the Thomas' school scenes were shot.
Amstelveen (NL), is where Tom and Thomas obtain their corduroy denim jacket with orange hooded sweaters.
Amsterdam RAI (NL), was turned into Heathrow departures.
Noordwijk (NL), was were the museum scenes were made.
Gent (B), that's where the orphanage scenes were shot.
Schiphol airport, where Transavia was so kind to allow the crew to use their hangar.

The film is very meticulous in its details. Esmé hasn't left anything up to chance. When you watch the movie several times you'll notice how well everything fits; up to certain details for instance, that Thomas' bike is still at his school. It's a joy watching the two boys both played by Aaron Johnson in such a convincing way.

This movie is truly a hidden gem.

The film was directed by Esmé Lammers and was released on January 24, 2002 in the Netherlands.
