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." Basics
