At first I'm like the original still holds up so why remake it. But then I'm also like Spielberg can do whatever he wants and I'll watch it. So Day one.

Spielberg said he always wanted to try a musical and the first was the first popular music his family had when he was a kid.

It looks good. I think they have avoided a lot of the potential pitfalls here by playing it safe and close to the original.
I'm not sure how necessary it is, though... I'm not sure what they're adding besides eye candy or if this is going to appeal to people that the original didn't...

Man incubas is the most miserable poster here. I dont think ive ever seen him post anything where hes not completely miserable.
The cinematography here is mesmerizing. Not a fan of musicals but i will make an exception here.

Cool that Rita Moreno is back in this. Looks to have had an absolute load of surgery, or there's some Irish man style de-aging afoot.

Looks good, why not Spielberg's take on West Side Story?
In addition, big fan of Leonard Bernstein here.

Not into whoever keeps casting Mike Faist as a stud. He was cast like that in Panic too. He looks like a sorta shredded DJ Qualls. Other than that, the teaser looks good. I'm glad they kept it in the original period and didn't try to 2021-ize it. Spielberg is the man, so I'll give it a watch.

Bit hit and miss in recent years. Ready Player One was average at best and BFG was absolute dog shit.

yeah you can tell when he's actually directing a movie and when he's signed on because he knows there's only like seven days of live action shooting and the rest some animation director at a cgi factory will do for him

>implying the Ready Player One race, flashback and Shining scenes were not kino of the highest magnitude
Maybe now that he got West Side Story out of his system he can make Tintin sequels!
