The Kiss of the Spider Woman is not an unfamiliar title but, according to director Bill Condon, the 2025 adaptation, is “something different from anything you’ve seen.” Now, Vanity Fair is unveiling a first look at the upcoming movie-musical adaptation. The images give us our first full look at Jennifer Lopez as Ingrid Luna. The movie is based on a stage adaptation of the 1976 novel by Manuel Puig. If the title sounds familiar and doesn’t ring any bells with that, Héctor Babenco, a Brazilian director, adapted the work in 1985. William Hurt, Raul Julia, and Sônia Braga starred. Hurt won Best Actor Oscar in 1986 for his role as Luis Molina. The movie premieres at the Sundance Film Festival this Sunday.
