PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON STEVEN SPIELBERG'S MOVIE REMAKE OF FAMOUS MUSICAL WEST SIDE STORY WITH ANSEL ELGORT! NEW TRAILER AND POSTERS!

   WEST SIDE STORY  

STEVEN SPIELBERG'S REMAKE

West Side Story is out December 10th

I have to admit that I have never seen the original film, as I'm not infatuated by criminals and gangs as most of you freaks, but Steven Spielberg has decided to do his version of the 1957 classic musical, which explores forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Set for a December 10th cinematic release (on  the exact 60th anniversary of the original film), the two and a half hour long film will feature a host of young up and coming actors from both New Jersey and New York, for a reworking of the timeless love story between Tony and Maria, whose first on screen adaptation won an Oscar in 1961. This time the lead duo

The new version will be rather long: two and a half hour

will be played by Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler who hasn't work on film before. Justin Peck did the choreography, while Leonard Bernstein did
