Universal City, California — La telenovela que fue filmada en las bellísimas playas de Cozumel y el encantador puerto de Veracruz, regresa para recordarte lo que es vivir una “Tormenta en el Paraíso”. Televisa y Vivendi Home Entertainment lanza en DVD esta telenovela a partir del 17 de Agosto.
Producida por Juan Osorio Ortiz y en la tradición de ‘Paraíso Maldito,’ “Tormenta en el Paraíso” es una telenovela que cuenta la historia de una maldición que ronda a una misteriosa perla negra. Esta telenovela marca el regreso estelar de la primera actriz Úrsula Pratz, donde comparte con compañeros de larga trayectoria al igual que con nuevos talentos de Televisa.
Con el marco de los bellos paisajes de la republica mexicana, “Tormenta en el Paraíso” cuenta la historia de maldiciones mayas, joyas mágicas y el amor entre dos jóvenes, a los cuales la maldad los hace sufrir poniendo a prueba su amor. Con las actuaciones de el señor José Carlos Ruiz como Ahzac, Alejandro Tomassi “Eliseo Bravo”, Frances Ondiviela “Teresa Bravo”, Úrsula Pratz “Luisa Durán”, Manuel Ojeda “Capitán Solís”, Eugenia Cauduro “Analy Manu Lazcano”, y los protagonistas, Sara Maldonado como “Aymar Lazcano Mayu” y Erick Elías como “Nicolás Bravo”
La historia de la Telenovela
En el año de 1519 el sacerdote maya Ahzac, se entera que su hija la doncella Ixmy, se ha entregado al amor de un hombre blanco; ella estaba destinada a ser sacrificada a los dioses junto con una ofrenda en oro y una perla negra de singular tamaño. La doncella, al transgredir su destino, despierta la ira de Ahzac, quien invoca una terrible maldición: “¡Todo aquel que tenga la perla negra en sus manos, jamás conocerá la felicidad!”.
En 1987 los investigadores Hernán Lazcano y Eliseo Bravo, bucean en los arrecifes de coral de Cozumel y hacen un sorprendente hallazgo: la perla negra que por años había permanecido en el fondo del mar. Al tocarla, la maldición se desata y de inmediato despierta la ambición de Eliseo Bravo, quien provoca la muerte de su socio Hernán, dejando desamparadas a su esposa Analy y a su hija recién nacida Aymar.
Eliseo no sólo regresa a Veracruz con el oro y la perla negra, sino que también con la maldición, pues se encuentra con que su esposa María Teresa lo ha abandonado dejándole a sus tres hijos: David, Nicolás y Leonardo. Eliseo, se repone de ese duro golpe y funda la hacienda ‘El Paraíso’.
Veinte años después, Eliseo ha educado a sus hijos con dureza. David no muestra ningún interés en los asuntos de la hacienda, por que Eliseo deposita su confianza en Nicolás, un abogado fuerte y dispuesto a apoyar a su padre, mientras que Leonardo, se muestra como un muchacho melancólico y sensible.
Aymar, heredera de la cultura maya a la que defiende con orgullo, se ha convertido en una hermosa jovencita, conoce a Nicolás y se enamoran, mientras que Maura Duran, una sensual y ambiciosa mujer, teje una red de mentiras para apoderarse de la fortuna de los Bravo. Maura se hace pasar por Karina Rosemberg y seduce a los tres hermanos creando entre ellos una rivalidad y envolviendo a Aymar con sus intrigas, separando a la pareja.
Aymar y Nicolás no han dejando de amarse y deberán enfrentar las intrigas de Maura y la maldición de la perla negra para demostrar que el amor vence las barreras del tiempo y la maldad.

Synopsis:
When California girl Susan Murphy (REESE WITHERSPOON) is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured and put into a secret government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and held along with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr.
Cockroach, Ph.D. (HUGH LAURIE); the macho half-ape, half-fish, The Missing Link (WILL ARNETT); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.
(SETH ROGEN); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President (STEPHEN COLBERT) is persuaded to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the alien robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
Other stars in this out-of-this-world ensemble include RAINN WILSON as Gallaxhar, the megalomaniac responsible for the alien robots and looking to replicate a new world in his own image; KIEFER SUTHERLAND as General W.R. Monger, an armed forces lifer who’s finally found a use for his collection of detained Monsters…battling the alien invader; and PAUL RUDD as Derek Dietl, Susan’s selfish fiancé, who has outgrown his current weatherman position and aspires to network news greatness.
