HBO’s upcoming adaptation of Laura Esquivel’s Like Water For Chocolate really thrusts the classic 1989 novel into the modern age. HBO just released its first teaser for the series, and it contains a few shots that look like they could have been plucked right off of Emerald Fennell‘s Saltburn vision board.

The teaser begins with a whole lot of lustful staring between the film’s leads Tita de la Garza (Azul Guaita) and Pedro Múzquiz (Andrés Baida), but PG-13 Twilight this is not. Soon, we see the pair consummate their desire in full HBO fashion, leaving the bed to literally burn in their wake when they’re done. Naturally, their love is forbidden. “Tita, my youngest daughter, will never marry,” Mamá Elena (Irene Azuela) says in a voiceover. “She will remain obedient by my side to look after me until the day I die.”

Like Water For Chocolate explores the idea that sometimes traditions can become a prison, an obstacle for love. Tita de la Garza and Pedro Múzquiz are two souls deeply in love, yet unable to be together due to entrenched family customs. The protagonists navigate a world of magical realism and rich flavors as Tita struggles between the destiny imposed on her by her family and her fight for love. Along the way, the audience will witness her greatest refuge: the kitchen. For Tita, her magical connection to cooking becomes an active resistance against oppression, allowing her to channel her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them.

The press release also notes that the series is set during the Mexican Revolution and was filmed on-location in Tlaxcala and Mexico City.

In addition to Guaita, Baida, and Azuela, Like Water For Chocolate also stars Ana Valeria Becerril, Andrea Chaparro, Ángeles Cruz, Mauricio García Lozano, Ari Brickman, and Louis David Horné. The first episode of the series premieres November 3 on HBO and Max, with subsequent episodes airing weekly.

EFE.- La novela “Como agua para chocolate“, de la mexicana Laura Esquivel, tendrá su versión en una serie original de HBO, según anunció este miércoles esta plataforma audiovisual.

La novela de Esquivel, publicada en 1989, está traducida a más de 30 idiomas y ya fue adaptada al cine en 1992, convirtiéndose en una de las películas latinoamericanas más exitosas, dirigida por el mexicano Alfonso Arau.

La producción original de HBO comenzó ya a rodarse en México esta semana, según la fuente, bajo la dirección de Julián de Tavira y Ana Lorena Pérez Ríos y con las interpretaciones de Irene Azuela (“Quemar las naves”), Azul Guaita (“Mi marido tiene familia”), Ari Brickman (“Sr. Ávila” y “Asesino del olvido”), Ana Valeria Becerril (“Las Bravas”), Andrea Chaparro (“¿Encontró lo que buscaba?”), Andrés Baida (“Los elegidos”), Ángeles Cruz (“Capadocia”) y Louis David Horné (“La negociadora”).

Este proyecto “reúne todos los elementos que como creadores de contenido aspiramos a tener en una historia: una trama potente que nos sumerja en un universo tan particular como el del realismo mágico latinoamericano, muy arraigado en nuestra cultura, realizada en conjunto con grandes creadores y talento local, con una enorme proyección para viajar globalmente y desarrollada con el sello de calidad que caracteriza a HBO“, dijo Mariano César, de Warner Bros Discovery.

Los protagonistas son Tita de la Garza y Pedro Muzquiz, una pareja de enamorados que no pueden estar juntos debido a arraigadas costumbres familiares, lo que obligará a Tita a transitar entre el destino dictado por su familia y la lucha por su amor, mientras vive en su mayor refugio, la cocina.
A plataforma Max divulgou o pôster e o primeiro teaser de " Como Água para Chocolate", nova adaptação do romance de Laura Esquivel. A obra, que há 32 anos virou um filme premiado do mexicano Alfonso Arau, retorna como minissérie para a nova geração.

A história de Esquivel gira em torno da sensível e impulsiva Tita, a caçula de uma família que se vê obrigada a cuidar da mãe e abrir mão do amor por Pedro, que acaba se casando com a irmã. Porém, o detalhe mais importante da história é a comida, pois ao longo da trama Tita faz múltiplas receitas que, com detalhes de realismo mágico, absorvem seus sentimentos e alteram completamente as pessoas ao seu redor.

A prévia traz a protagonista, interpretada por Irene Azuela ("Monarca"), fazendo levitar pétalas de rosa enquanto cozinha.

A série tem direção de Ana Lorena Pérez Ríos ("Não Foi Minha Culpa: México") e sua data de estreia ainda não foi marcada.
