Hmmm...not too bright, are you?

Lopez wrapped the firstweek 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."

Taco Flavored Kisses of the Spider Woman.
Ya'll's goin' to hell.
John Kander was involved in the recording of the songs and was supposedly astounded by Lopez and said it was “the best he ever heard.”

Sorry, didn’t realize that was posted already.

So exciting. Still pinching myself this is happening. I hope it's successful enough to make the musical a viable commercial stage property - Bway, regional, whatever.
I love Jennifer, but Kander is 97 years old. How much could he hear? jkjk
The film has officially been wrapped as of a few days ago. With Lopez, this cast and rumors of the musical numbers being BIG, this might be a very good movie musical for Bill Condon. Dreamgirls was the last movie of his that I really enjoyed, hopefully Kiss of the Spider Woman will be really good.
Here's the Instagram post confirming this: https://www.instagram.com/iamtonatiuh/p/C8SazHEua48/?img_index=1
Wait can anyone RSVP for the preview??
I’m surprised at how quickly and rather quietly this came together.
That preview ad appeared on Facebook. I cannot attend unfortunately so I couldn’t RSVP.

Of course. This isn’t an industry private screening. It’s an advance public screening for them to gage how audiences respond. This is equivalent to a Broadway preview performance. They will shorten, cut, reshoot and change things based on these screenings. Every film in history has done these screenings and countless now classic films reshot their endings after the original endings “tested” negatively.

It really isn’t like a Broadway preview at all, based on your description alone.

I don't know how much of it is her, but I notice one her projects start production they seem to zoom through. Her involvement in Hustlers announced in August of 2018, it was filmed in March of 2019, and by September of that year was in theaters. She seems to be an in and out kind of girl.
Lopez's name has floated with this movie, from creative & movie studio for 15 plus years. It's great it'a happens and, mostly, done filming.
Lolz -- if you read the T&C of RSVPing, almost at the end is this gem:
No one will be admitted who is deemed unkempt, malodorous, dressed inappropriately or otherwise unacceptable to our staff.
Wow, I guess I'll find out sooner than I thought if my fears that they'll only keep the music for the movie/fantasy sequences are true or not...
It is mind-boggling to me that this is far enough along in post for a test screening. Of course I'm out of town!
Take this for what it's worth, but apparently this person is a journalist.
