As a lover of heart-warming and enchanting romance series, I can confidently say that Like Water For Chocolate is the perfect addition to my watchlist this month, especially for those with a Max subscription. The new adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s timeless novel, produced by the extraordinary Salma Hayek, promises an enthralling exploration of forbidden love and arranged marriages.
If you’re on the hunt for an enticing romantic series to indulge in this month, your search ends with the latest addition to the 2024 TV lineup, titled “Like Water For Chocolate“. Max subscribers can dive into the enchanting forbidden romance between a couple separated by an arranged marriage, as portrayed in this new series adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s beloved novel. Interestingly, Salma Hayek, who serves as the producer of the show, played a pivotal role in making the leads feel at ease during their conversations about the project. In an exclusive interview with TopMob, the two leading actors shared amusing tales of how Hayek extended her warm welcome, which led to an amusing text mix-up.
Salma Hayek’s most recent production project emphasizes her Mexican heritage by reimagining a fresh adaptation of “Like Water For Chocolate” for viewers, 30 years after the enchanting realism tale was initially brought to life on screen. Andrea Chaparro, who portrays Gertrudis, recounted Hayek’s warm welcome to the Spanish-speaking cast during filming, as she shared:
At the outset of the project, she sent us individual text messages that served as personal motivations. These messages ignited our spirits and set us on the correct course. We also had occasional video calls using FaceTime when possible. It was truly enchanting. The tale of women, led by a powerful woman, in production was undeniably inspiring.
Initially, I must admit, I wasn’t thrilled when I saw the text from Azul Guaita, the talented actor playing Tita, especially since she’s a producer and a Hollywood star. But upon reflection, I realized it was just a casual message.
Here’s one way of rephrasing the text:
At that moment, Guaita was bound by a vow of confidentiality concerning her role in the main character of “Like Water for Chocolate.” Therefore, she felt startled and surprised when, unexpectedly, someone reached out to her about this very matter.
Then she signed off as Salma, prompting me to wonder, “Who on earth is Salma?” I felt quite embarrassed, thinking they might say something about it. So, I blurted out, “Who’s Salma?” It took a moment, but then I realized, “Salma Hayek? Oh my God!” That’s when everything fell into place.
At the beginning of the article, you’ll find a video where Azul Guaita shares a funny story. As she spoke, Chaparro couldn’t hide his disbelief because he wasn’t aware who Salma was referring to initially. Yet, considering that Azul is new in the talent world, it’s unlikely she ever imagined getting a direct text message from renowned actress Salma Hayek.
I had a virtual chat with the cast of “Like Water For Chocolate” from Mexico following their reunion with Salma Hayek (also virtually) at a Spanish-speaking press conference. Upon entering, Hayek affectionately referred to her predominantly female co-stars as her “goddesses.” She expressed her fondness for the 1992 film but felt that creating the series offered them a greater chance to fully adapt the book and shared that she is extremely proud of the casting choices.
For individuals unfamiliar with the book or film titled “Like Water For Chocolate”, its romantic narrative can be likened to watching Keira Knightley’s “Pride and Prejudice” movie. The story revolves around Tita, the youngest of three sisters living in Mexico during the early 1900s, amidst the Mexican Revolution. From their earliest days, she has a special bond with a man named Pedro. However, when Pedro proposes, her mother informs him that Tita cannot marry as she had already vowed to care for her until her passing. In an unexpected turn of events, Pedro decides to wed Tita’s sister Rosaura instead, so he can remain close to Tita.
The initial installment of “Like Water for Chocolate” has just been released for streaming, making it one of the top Max originals. Fresh episodes will be accessible every Sunday. To see which book adaptations are coming up next, visit TopMob for more information.
