-International Superstar Chayanne Plays Leading Role in Vampire-Themed Love
Story-
MIAMI, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS)
(Nasdaq: SBSA) and Echo Bridge Home Entertainment have entered into a
distribution agreement to release the mega-series that captivated audiences
worldwide, "Gabriel Amor Immortal," on DVD on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at a
suggested retail price of $29.99. This exclusive box-set will include all the
episodes of the series, along with behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes
including the famous love scene between Chayanne and Angelica Celaya that was
too hot to show on television, and music videos featuring songs by Chayanne,
and Jose Luis "El Puma" Rodriguez.
Nominated for 8 Suncoast Regional Emmy® Awards and produced by Megafilms and
DirecTV Mas, "Gabriel" is the first scripted dramatic Megaseries filmed in
high-definition with 3-D animation and special effects. The cast includes some
of Spanish-language's most renowned actors such as: Chayanne, Angelica Celaya,
Jose Luis "El Puma" Rodriguez, Laura Ferretti, Sebastian Ligarde, Julian Gil,
Mirta Renee, Laura Zerra, Freddy Viquez, Juan David Ferrer, Alvaro Ruiz,
Marcos Miranda, Leonardo Krys, Camila Banus and the young singing sensation,
Alexia.
Chayanne portrays the modern day vampire, "Gabriel," a tortured being whose
only hope of salvation lies in reuniting with his reincarnated soulmate, Eva,
played by the Mexican starlet, Angelica Celaya. Eva was killed over 300 years
ago when Gabriel was still mortal and his village was attacked by the
bloodthirsty, conquistador-turned-nightstalker, Pizarro, portrayed by Jose
Luis "El Puma" Rodriguez. Doomed to roam eternal darkness after being cursed
by an Inca princess as revenge for the destruction of her village, Pizarro
threatens to once again rob Gabriel of his long-lost love.
"It was something that fans kept asking for and we felt it was time for the
series to be released on DVD," said Agustin, Creator, Writer and Director of
Megaseries "Gabriel." "The DVD allowed me to include things that I wasn't
able to show on television, like more blood, more action and more passionate
scenes. Additionally, what we have included on the DVD set is what most
resembles my vision for the Mega-series."
