Steven Spielberg plant remake of the hollywood musical film, based ‘West Side Story’

The American film director Steven Spielberg is going to be a remake turning from the famous movie ‘West Side Story’.

The oscar-winning musical from 1961, shot by the duo of Jerome Robbins (choreography) and Robert Wise, was, in its turn, a film adaptation of the musical by Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein’s musical was also not purely original: the piece falls back on Shakespeare’s ‘Rome and Juliet’. Spielberg is already wildly looking for young actors for the lead roles of, particularly, Bernardo and Maria to play. In the original print, winner of ten Oscars, were George Chakiris, and Natalie Wood.

Spielberg is going to be remake based on the adaptation of author Tony Kushner, the man who is famous, to a tv-series processed play ‘Angels in America’, wrote.
