A Bold New Take On A Classic Story
Oscar-winning director Bill Condon, known for Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast, is bringing his visionary touch back to the big screen with Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Opening in theaters October 10, this Technicolor-hued fantasy promises to be one of the year’s most dazzling cinematic experiences.
The film follows Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, and Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser jailed for public indecency, as they form an unlikely friendship inside a cell.
Their bond grows deeper as Molina recounts the storyline of a glamorous Hollywood musical starring his beloved silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez).
🎬 Kiss of the Spider Woman opens in theaters everywhere on October 10.
Star Power And Creative Brilliance
The cast brings together powerhouse talent from across film, television, and music.
Diego Luna (Andor, Y tu mamá también) delivers the intensity of a man driven by politics, while rising star Tonatiuh (Carry On, Promised Land) takes on the layered role of Molina.
And of course, Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers, Out of Sight) steps into the role of Ingrid with her signature charisma, doubling as both star and executive producer.
Behind the camera, Condon adapts the groundbreaking 1976 novel by Manuel Puig and draws from the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical by Terrence McNally, John Kander, and Fred Ebb.
This marriage of literature, theater, and cinema sets the stage for a visually striking, emotionally charged musical drama.

Produced by Barry Josephson, Tom Kirdahy, and Greg Yolen, Kiss of the Spider Woman is also backed by Hollywood heavyweights including Ben Affleck and Matt Damon through Artists Equity.
With a lineup of executive producers featuring Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna, and other industry veterans, the film is poised to be both a critical and commercial hit.
