Roadside Attractions has unveiled the lush, full-length trailer for Kiss of the Spider Woman—and it’s nothing short of spellbinding. Directed by Oscar-winner Bill Condon, the film is a bold reimagining of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, itself adapted from Manuel Puig’s iconic 1976 novel. With a story steeped in resistance, fantasy, and forbidden friendship, this adaptation promises both spectacle and soul.
Jennifer Lopez leads the cast as Ingrid Luna, a glamorous silver screen diva brought to life through the vivid imagination of Molina (played by rising star Tonatiuh), a queer window dresser imprisoned for public indecency. Sharing a cell with Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner tortured for his revolutionary beliefs, the two forge a complicated but deeply human connection—anchored by Molina’s retellings of a fantastical Hollywood musical, with Ingrid always at the center.
The trailer brims with moody lighting, cinematic dreamscapes, and theatrical flair, seamlessly blending grim prison reality with lavish musical numbers. Condon, known for his work on Dreamgirls and Chicago, returns to his musical roots with sweeping style and emotional precision.
The supporting cast includes Bruno Bichir, Josefina Scaglione, and Aline Mayagoitia, rounding out a powerhouse ensemble. With dazzling visuals and a story that explores identity, resilience, and the transformative power of imagination, Kiss of the Spider Woman looks ready to cast a spell when it hits theaters on October 10, 2025.
If the trailer is any indication, this isn’t just a musical—it’s an experience.
