Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna paint a tale of survival and escapism in "Kiss of the Spider Woman"

The two actors alongside breakout star Tonatiuh introduce the timeless tale to a new generation under the vision of director and screenwriter Bill Condon.

Jennifer Lopez long ago established herself as a triple-threat performer. But “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” which hits theaters Friday, marks the first time she felt like the star of an old Hollywood musical like the ones she watched as a kid growing up in the Bronx.

“It was like the stuff that dreams are made of,” Lopez told reporters in a virtual news conference Sunday. “I got to sing, I got to dance, I got to act. I got to play like a big Hollywood movie star.”

In a tale retold several times over the past decades, the new “Kiss of the Spider Woman” movie musical adaptation has a star-studded cast that includes Lopez and Diego Luna, as well as breakout star Tonatiuh.
