Spanish Broadcasting System 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, Feb. 9th, 2010.

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.

“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.”

Winner of six Suncoast Regional Emmy(R) 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.

CHAYANNE ES GABRIEL

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.

The Ministers NYC Premiere Tonight

// October 13th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // What's Poppin

It’s almost time for all my friends in NY to gather together and support our buddy Franc. Reyes, new feature “The Ministers”, which will have it’s red carpet premiere tonight. Are we excited? fuck yeah!!

Awhile back I wrote an article expressing my concern about MAYA and their distribution execution. Here’s my issue it’s already Tuesday and “The Ministers” releases friday afternoon. Has anyone seen one freaking commercial for it yet? and I don’t mean here on the internet. I’m talking about Television spots, I mean I see Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler are all over I know “Law abiding Citizen” is coming out friday but what the fuck is the deal?

What is going on with the marketing for “The Ministers”?

I know we have a strong presence on the internet but even that is questionable in terms of filling up theaters. The reality is a bunch of us always say we’re gonna support but really don’t follow through. When it comes to the internet that is.

I don’t want to be the wet blanket here, but shit when is a Latino project really gonna get a fair shake in this game. Let’s see what happens in the next few days.

For now my friends here is the BEHIND THE SCENES: of “The Ministers,

Put together by Lyndon McCray, Calixto Chinchilla & Karen Torres:

Law abiding Citizen Trailer w/ Jamie Foxx & Gerard Butler

// September 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Trailers

Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Sheltons high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Sheltons crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.
