Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025)
At The IMDb Studio in the Acura House of Energy during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, legendary director Bill Condon reveals what impressed him about directing first-time movie musical stars Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna in a film adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' (2025). Condon compares this latest production to past career highlights, such as 'Chicago' (2002) and 'Dreamgirls' (2006), and even sounds off on why Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' may never make it as a stage musical.

      Wow! Original and terrific!

      I got lucky at Sundance and caught the second viewing of this gem. I recall the original film with Raul Julia and William Hurt and loved it. This is a whole new approach and it works throughout. I was worried that Jennifer Lopez would steal the show but if anything lead actors Diego Luna and Tonatiuh made it for me. Don't misunderstand, Lopez was wonderful but the the two inmates were incredible in prison as well as in the fantasy film musical. Their chemistry was perfect and their comedic timing of great dialogue made it a joy.

      Don't waste any time getting out to see this film as soon as it opens.
