Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film — Page 10

So Tonatiuh and Luna were incredibly good, but Lopez was just "fine"?  I've heard from some people who've attended early screenings she is GREAT and the film is also wonderful??  They didn't reveal much but they did throw superlatives her way...

nice, do you think oscar noms are in the cards for all three?

I am considering coughing up the $35 for an online Sundance screening. I am very curious about this. 

The purpose of taking it to Sundance is getting a distributor who will buy it for a lot of money and then release it for all to see later this year.

They intentionally want it seen by a small audience of press, industry people, and people who make the pilgrimage to Park City. This is also a way of building buzz to have a curated group of people see it first and shape the general public’s perception of it. You can only make a first impression once etc 

Digital screenings offer way too much leeway for piracy. Which is fine for a young filmmaker who made a movie on a shoestring budget, will be lucky if it gets acquired at a price higher than the budget, and can only benefit from it being seen in any format. But Spidey is made by people who usually work at the studio level and they obviously have high hopes for it.

This one is only available in-person, unfortunately. They don't want it actually out there."

That’s very smart of them to make sure it doesn’t get out for people to see.

So I take it by this comment, you did not like it?

Jennifer Lopez is the weakest part of the main trio by far

I’ve heard talk that they’ve gutted the score. I hope this is hyperbole, I’ve always thought Kiss was one of Kander/Ebb’s best and would be sad to lose too much of that gloriousness!!!!

Yeah, wouldn’t it be sad if the majority of the score was cut from this and all that beautiful music in the jail got thrown out. Of course I’m not saying it is, I’m just saying wouldn’t it just be a reeeeeeal f’in shame if more than half the score was gutted. 

If we're talking about songs like "Bluebloods," "I Draw the Line" and the endless reprises of "Over the Wall" being cut I'm not going to be too distressed. If we're talking about songs like "Dear One," "You Could Never Shame Me" or "Anything For Him" getting cut then I don't understand the point of even making this film.

Hypothetically, you would be very disappointed to know that 2 of those 3 songs don't make it.

Well I didn't sign an NDA (and didn't see it) but yes, I have it on full authority, that most (I'm not sure if all?) of the non-movie fantasy music is cut.  Which really made me disheartened but of course isn't remotely surprising (this was the first thing I asked my source months back.)  And it makes complete sense, but I was hoping they would have found a clever way to still use the majority of the "book songs" instead of just doing the expected thing of "Jail=realistic so no singing, movie fantasies=singing."  Oh well, I'm still excited, and scared.
