New York: West Side Story in full remake by Steven Spielberg

Movie Music

Something’s coming in the West Side Story.

New York in the 1950s. Two rival street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, share the West Side. The first is made up of Americans of Polish, Irish and Italian origin, the second of Puerto Rican immigrants. Provocations and confrontations are their daily lot. Former Jets leader Tony (Richard Beymer) falls in love with the Sharks’ leader’s sister Maria (Natalie Wood). Only, their love is impossible because of the rivalry of their respective clans.

Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise’s ten Oscar-winning film, ranked in the American Film Institute’s Top 100 American films, has made particularly famous a playground where memorable dance battles take place, as we mention in our New York guide to the 1000 cult locations of films, series, music, comics and novels. Steven Spielberg is currently working on a remake and has already announced to the cast Rita Moreno, who played Anita in the 1961 version.

The difference this time, is that the Sharks gang members will be played by real latinos, unlike the first version where the actors were made up.
