Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film — Page 16

At last it’s getting a wide release instead of limited. Hopefully that includes international release as well.

At Roundabout's recent benefit concert, Jennifer Lopez got to perform the title song.

I think she sounds great. And her performing it live, which many movie stars are loathe to do during promotion and award season, is a good sign.

lol this looks way worse than I expected. Her autotune vocals are simply unbearable imo

I actually thing Jennifer Lopez sounds great. The look of the movie is pretty rough though. The visuals look like a sad, low budget copy of Chicago.

I believe Kiss of the Spider Woman comes out on October 10. Wicked: For Good releases over a month later on November 21.

I am so excited for this movie. Visually, this trailer makes it look a little "splashy, but we're also serious". I have heard many people who have seen a cut of the film say its very good, so I'm hopeful.

I will say the lighting is a lot brighter than I was expecting it to be, but I wonder if there will be another trailer that is more "dark", to contrast the story.

Oops! Duh. My bad. Thanks for catching that.

I'm really curious about the movie at this point. I'm probably the target audience. I love musicals, but am not a giant fan of this musical, so radical changes in the material and even omission of major songs is not going to bother me. I think only utilizing songs in the fantasy segments makes sense for a film version, and might actually work better for the mass audience, which still seems not generally crazy about people bursting out into song.

But who knows? The material may not work for the large moviegoing audience in any form, in which case maybe it was a mistake to omit so much when only musical theater fans will show up to begin with. Maybe it's just the word from so many people who have had a chance to see it--both those who loved and hated it--that makes me feel I'm missing out? But I expect I'll see it as soon as it opens.

It looks too slick on a phone screen, but I can guarantee it looks GLORIOUS on the big screen.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, sometimes color grading is different in a trailer. In the same way that the music bed of the new WICKED trailer is not what it will sound like on the big screen. The trailer is trying to appeal to the widest, most populist audience.

I do recall from the initial screening that all of the movie scenes actually looked like old movies so that is definitely a shame to lose here. Hopefully its jusy in the trailers to not lose viewers and they maintain it on the film itself.
