Globo chose New York City as the background for the opening scenes of its upcoming 7 pm-slot telenovela\u00a0I Love Parais\u00f3polis<\/i>. Amidst a romantic comedy atmosphere, the telenovela is set in S\u00e3o Paulo, but the story of Marizete (Bruna Marquezine, \u2018Helena\u2019s Shadow\u2019) and Danda (Tat\u00e1 Werneck, \u2018Trail of Lies\u2019) begins in the Big Apple. The two young girls are best friends who live in the bustling Parais\u00f3polis, one of S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s largest communities, with around 100,000 residents in an area of one million square meters. Marizete and Danda travel together to the U.S. to pursue their dreams. They live countless adventures and face a few familiar problems that seem to follow them wherever they go. The telenovela is scheduled to premiere in May.<\/p>\n
Used to the tropical heat, Globo\u2019s crew faced in New York freezing temperatures of\u00a0– 11 Celsius\u00a0degree\u00a0to shoot the mishaps of Marizete and Danda. During the eleven days of shooting in Manhattan, the crew covered several of the city\u2019s milestones, such as Grand Central, Washington Square, Central Park, Times Square, Gantry Plaza, Queens, and the Highline. The cold weather also set the atmosphere for the first romantic scenes between Marizete and Benjamin (Maur\u00edcio Destri, \u2018The Enchanted Tale\u2019). Around 50 people and approximately 120 local extras, including Brazilians and Americans, were used in the scenes. The crew took ten costume suitcases, seven art production trunks and two characterization trunks from Brazil to shoot the U.S. scenes.<\/p>\n
Before finally settling in Globo\u2019s studios in Rio de Janeiro, the telenovela crew visited Parais\u00f3polis. Over 100 professionals worked in S\u00e3o Paulo for nearly two weeks. The crew shot scenes in the Parais\u00f3polis community and other traditional S\u00e3o Paulo spots, such as the Morumbi district and 25 de Mar\u00e7o Street.<\/p>\n
The cast of\u00a0I Love Parais\u00f3polis<\/i>\u2019also features Henri Castelli (\u2018Caribbean Flower\u2019), Let\u00edcia Spiller (\u2018Precious Pearl\u2019), and Caio Castro (\u2018Trail of Lies\u2019), among others.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
