The William Levy starrer "La Tempestad" continues to make headlines with insiders stating that Levy and his co-star Ximena Navarrete have no chemistry.
According to the journal Basta, Navarrete and Levy have had to repeat scenes numerous times because of various mistakes the two make on set. The lack of preparation by Levy and Navarrete's inexperience has also made production go longer hours.
The production has already been slowed down by Levy's hard-to-understand Cuban accent. After numerous appearances in American Television and film, production has stated that his Spanish is barely comprehensible and a complete headache.
Salvador Mejia is also worried about the release date as he does not believe the series will have two weeks of episodes edited on time. The extreme weather in Veracruz has also worried him and he has contemplated postponing production.
Recently Levy revealed the new tattoo he got done for the series. He stated that he had gotten two but one was hidden. He also showed off his new hairdo for the series which was criticized and ridiculed by the actor's large fanbase.
Navarrete's election for the main role has also been criticized with many calling her a vampire and too ugly for Levy. The former Miss Universe beat out actresses Silvia Navarro, Angelique Boyer, Sandra Echeverria and Elizabeth Gutierrez for the role of Marina.
The series began shooting on Wednesday March 6th in Veracruz and is set to move to studios after filming on location. "La Tempestad" also stars Ivan Sanchez, Laura Carmine, Jessica Coch, Diana Bracho, Cesar Evora, Alfonso Herrera, and Luis Manuel Avila. The series is based on the Colombian telenovela "La Tormenta" and is set to air in Mexico on May 13, 2013 on El Canal de la Estrellas.
