Can you believe it's been 17 years since Paraíso Tropical first aired?! (17 years, 9 months, 17 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Paraíso Tropical end?
When Paraíso Tropical came to an end after 1 year in September 2007, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Paula Viana Bastos / Taís Grimaldi (Alessandra Negrini), Bebel (Camila Pitanga), Betina Monteiro (Deborah Secco), Daniel Bastos (Fábio Assunção), Lúcia Vilela (Glória Pires) and Olavo Novaes (Wagner Moura). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Paraíso Tropical reunion disappoint people?
Paraíso Tropical aired from 2007-2007 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 Secco said she's not sure if Paraíso Tropical would work today. “I don't want to see old Betina Monteiro,” she told a journalist (Secco turned 45 in November). “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 Paraíso Tropical movie?
In a recent interview, Bruno Gagliasso (who played Ivan Corrêa Novaes) said he can't imagine a Paraíso Tropical 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 Paulo Vilhena (who played Fred) 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 Paraíso Tropical movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Paraíso Tropical film, Wagner Moura stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Paraíso Tropical reboot?
Recasting Paraíso Tropical 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 Paraíso Tropical reunion, a Paraíso Tropical movie, or a Paraíso Tropical reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
