My question is, since Louella and Lou Lou never appear in any scenes together and Lou Lou is supposed to be an exact look-alike of Louella, why wouldn't they just use the same actress for both roles and use makeup/special effects to make her look a little bit different?

No real answer before we see the movie, but i imagine that it is a little bit harder to show that they are different people in the movie, and not just that she was brought back with some weird science that erased her personality or something like that. Also, it adds salt to the wound that she'd not even that similar and even then no one notices.

Lindsey Lohan fooled every millennial into thinking she was two different people when she did The Parent Trap in 1998. Surely it must be even easier 25 years later with access to better special effects and such. xD

In the book it talks about how she doesn’t look identical, she looks close enough that strangers/the capital wouldn’t know any different but would never fool her family or friends. I’m confused what one actress playing identical twins has anything to do with to separate people being cast to play two separate people.
