Jennifer Lopez Says ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ Filming Was a ‘Dream’ and 97-Year-Old Composer John Kander Was Very Involved


Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna star in director Bill Condon's upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical "Kiss of the Spiderwoman."

John Kander may be close to 100 years old, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t involved with the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical “ Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Lopez stars as the titular role, a fantasy woman named Aurora created by Luis Molina (Tonatiuh), a gay hairdresser serving an eight-year sentence for allegedly corrupting a minor. To escape the horrors of his imprisonment, Molina imagines movies starring Aurora as a classic silver screen diva, including a role of the spider woman, who kills her prey with a kiss.
