The feature musical "Kiss of the Spider Woman", starring Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna and Tonatiuh will be getting wide theatrical release on October 10.
The movie had its North American rights acquired by Roadside Attractions, Lionsgate and LD Entertainment.
Also opening on October 10 is Disney’s "Tron: Ares", Warner Bros/Legendary’s "Animal Friends" with Jason Momoa and Ryan Reynolds, and the exclusive launch of Amazon MGM Studios’ Luca Guadagnino thriller "After the Hunt" with Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri.
The Bill Condon-directed "Spider Woman," an Artists Equity production, is based on the book by Terrence McNally and John Kander and Fred Ebb’s songs from the Broadway show.
Argentinian author Manuel Puig wrote the original 1976 novel upon which the 1985 Oscar-winning movie starring William Hurt, Raul Julia and Sonia Braga is based.
Luna and Tonatiuh play jail cellmates Valentín and Luis, respectively, in a military-run 1983 Argentinian. Widow dresser Luis keeps Valentín’s spirits alive with tales about his favorite actress, Ingrid Luna (Lopez), and the movie musicals she starred in.
Roadside Attractions acquired Gia Coppola’s "The Last Showgirl" out of the Toronto Film Festival last year and quickly ramped up awards-season buzz for its lead star Pamela Anderson.
Anderson garnered Golden Globe Best Actress and SAG Lead Actress noms, while Jamie Lee Curtis got Supporting Actress noms from SAG and BAFTA and Miley Cyrus song “Beautiful That Way” scored BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics Choice noms.
