Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film — Page 5

Kad said: "The Distinctive Baritone said: "It's still a "win," even if this doesn't do great at the box office (as long as it's done relatively well).Kiss of the Spider Womanis one of the least-performed and least-known musicals to win the Tony in my lifetime, and the film will hopefully give it some publicity. EvenSweeney Todd(my favorite musical, obviously) was not well-known outside the theatre worlduntil the Tim Burton film put it in the national consciousness."

Well, as a counterpoint... Nine didn't exactly uplift the musical very much."

Nine was also a pretty lousy movie, so there wasn't enough positive buzz to get audiences to see it despite the absurdly starry cast.

…who the hell is Tonatiuh? Why not Robin de Jesus?

According to Dylis Croman, who was JLo’s dance double, filming has wrapped today.

That was a quick shoot for a movie-musical! (If the entire production has indeed wrapped, and not just the portions that involved Dylis)

Just got word that principal photography on the dance numbers has wrapped and filming begins on Monday for the rest of the film, including other musical numbers."

 

Just curious, are they filming on a stage sound in NYC? 

Quite a number of recognizable Broadway chorus boys were involved in the dance numbers, including Max Clayton, per social media. 

Various folks were posting images to their IG stories while on set so I don’t think anything remains up. 

Going by what she said on Kelly Ripa ( well the story that appeared on Facebook ) this has finished filming all together. She’s moving in to her tour. That was really quick, no release date set. 

QueenAlice said: "Its also possible that her scenes were filmed first. There is a lot of material her character is not in."

Lopez wrapped the first week in May (days after the dance numbers concluded filming). She filmed her non-dancing sections in her last days. The non-Lopez portions of the film are currently filming and the film has not wrapped. The production scheduled all her sections to be done first and release her before moving on to the rest of the film. Any reshoots/pickups that might be needed will be done before the film wraps completely or in post production, pending her schedule. She’s an EP on the film so she does have the clout to coordinate the filming schedule to accommodate her. 

How nice of Lopez to film all hers scenes before anyone else to accommodate herself.This is one of my all time favorite musicals and I am dreading what might happen to it.

It’s for production logistics. You call yourself a fan so you are aware her character appears in musical numbers. It’s cost effective to film all these numbers first so everyone involved with these sections, like dancers, background players, etc can be released instead of paying them to wait around for weeks. This allows the director to move on and focus on the non-musical sections which take up the majority of the film. 

Kind of crazy that we just found out about this in December and it's already almost in the can.

I learned when I was a kid that movies are rarely filmed in chronological order, and that they frequently film to accommodate schedules or to film scenes where many characters are required at certain points, so they can manage down the time that actors are required on set, presumably in an effort to manage costs and peoples' availability..  There is zero unusual about her filming all of the scenes contiguously.
