Can you believe it's been 21 years since Gata Salvaje first aired?! (21 years, 11 months, 11 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Gata Salvaje end?
When Gata Salvaje came to an end after 1 year in May 2003, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Luis Mario Arismendi (Mario Cimarro) and Rosaura Ríos Olivares de Arismendi (Marlene Favela). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Gata Salvaje reunion disappoint people?
Gata Salvaje aired from 2002-2003 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Favela said she's not sure if Gata Salvaje would work today. “I don't want to see old Rosaura Ríos Olivares de Arismendi,” she told a journalist (Favela turned 47 in August). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Gata Salvaje movie?
In a recent interview, Juan Alfonso Baptista (who played Bruno Villalta) said he can't imagine a Gata Salvaje reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Adamari López (who played Karina Rios) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Gata Salvaje movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Gata Salvaje film, Marlene Favela stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Gata Salvaje reboot?
Recasting Gata Salvaje for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Gata Salvaje reunion, a Gata Salvaje movie, or a Gata Salvaje reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
