The Steven Spielberg film is the second feature-length adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical and stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler and Rita Moreno.Ahead of the Dec. 10 release of his version of"West Side Story," filmmaker Steven Spielberg called the musical"generational."
"We never attempted to remake the '61 film," Spielberg said, referring to the earlier film as a"masterpiece." "The whole template of our reimagined 'West Side Story' based on the Broadway play was it needed to be authentic. It needed to be realistic," Spielberg said. "It's important that representation be authentic," he said."To return the piece to the integrity that I think it deserves, I really felt-- we felt-- all of us, together, that we needed this to be a Latinx production."Spielberg also said that the musical is very relevant today.
Spielberg also discussed his love of the original musical and said that the score had been in his life since his childhood.
