La venganza de los Gavilanes

A versión española of one of my favorite telenovelas, "Pasión de gavilanes", is currently being filmed. It will be titled "La venganza de los Gavilanes", and it will air weekly on Antena 3 later this year. Let's take a look at the men who'll be playing los hermanos Reyes and compare them to the actors from the original, Colombian version:







From left to right: Rodolfo Sancho (who'll play Juan, the role portrayed by Mario Cimarro in the original), Alejandro Albarracín (as Frank Reyes, the Michel Brown role) y Roger Berruezo (as Oscar, filling in Juan Alfonso Baptista's big shoes).





























What do you think? Personally, any version without Juan Alfonso Baptista is going to be judged as inferior by me. ;) But it looks worth checking out.



Word is that Mexico and Brazil have also purchased the rights to make their own versions of "Pasión de gavilanes". Ooh, fantasy casting time! For the Brazilian version, how about Malvino Salvador as Juan, Reynaldo Gianecchini as Oscar, and... hmm, I'll have to think about the rest... (Edit: Whooops, I forgot there's already been a Mexican remake. It was called ""Fuego en la sangre"" and starred Eduardo Yáñez, Jorge Salinas, and Pablo Montero. Yawn.)
