Marian Rivera stars in Carmela, a Monica Bellucci-inspired film

Malena, an Italian film released in 2000, is about a woman who provokes sensual awakenings in a group of adolescent boys. Played by Monica Bellucci, Malena is the most beautiful and envied woman in the town. All men are attracted to her. Every woman hates her. Her only fault is her powerful appeal and beauty.

Forward to 2014, GMA 7 is fielding in Marian Rivera as Carmela. The series carries the same concept as Malena. As to how it will be different will be up to the hands of the shows headwriter Suzette Doctolero and director Dominic Zapata.
