First trailer for Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story

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.

I'm interested. Steven Spielberg is one of the few people who fill the giant shoes of the original westside story.
 
That isn't a movie... It's cinema. Ironic that I see this on the day that the husk of the Oscars aired.
 
I'm not a fan of remaking stuff that's already good. That said, the trailer makes it look decent enough, so we'll see.

The Quintet song better blow the roof off the theater though.

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.











 

Same tune different lyrics for "Tonight". Also my preferred version. It is a lovely song.


Not sure if I want to see this movie or not, Spielberg does make some great films.
 
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!
