Co-star Erick Elías (who played Gabriel Lizarde) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did an In the Name of Love movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be an In the Name of Love film, Altair Jarabo stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
