For Lopez, who takes on the role originated by Chita Rivera, it's a dream come true."I've been waiting for this moment my whole life," Lopez said at the film's premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

The plot in the new film follows the original in that it is centered on a political prisoner (played by Diego Luna) in Argentina who shares a cell with a queer window dresser (Elizarraraz), where they talk about the plot of a Hollywood musical starring a talented actress (Lopez).

Jennifer Lopez brought some Hollywood glamour to Park City, Utah, with the debut of her new film “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”
