Bill Condon felt that Jennifer Lopez was perfect to lead the cast of 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'.
The 69-year-old director is behind the camera on the movie that is based on the stage musical of the same name and explained that he believed the 'Atlas' star had the range to play "three parts" in the picture.
Bill told Collider: "Jennifer plays three parts in the movie. She plays an actress, she plays the lead character in the movie within the movie, and then another character in the movie – she plays Spider Woman, Aurora, and Ingrid. Three separate parts.
"It is a musical movie, so she has 11 musical numbers, which is spectacular. No one else on Earth could have done this, especially because we shot them all in a four-week period before we went to Uruguay to do the prison part of the movie."
The 'Gods and Monsters' filmmaker continued: "Music and dance is a huge part of it, but that does not at all diminish the performance she gave. It's an unbelievably delicate thing she pulled off because she's acting in the style of a 1950s movie, but never, ever, ever mocking it or making fun of it.
"She's making it real. I don't know anybody else who could have done it."
