America, The Producer!

Bye-bye Ugly Betty! Hola telenovelas!

America Ferrera, free from her gig as Betty Suarez, is preparing to get involved in a new project but in a different way.

America will take on the role of executive producer for a telenovela in development called Pedro & Maria. The project, backed by MTV and Electus, will be a modern-day, bilingual, interactive version of Romeo & Juliet. Each week audiences will tune in and then go online to vote what will happen next with the characters and plot.

It’s “Create Your Own Adventures”, TV edition! Interesting!

Could have some promise, until the novelty wears off!

Thoughts?
