West Side Story (2020)
An adaptation of the 1957 musical, West Side Story explores forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds.
West Side Story is an 2020 American romantic musical drama film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg, with a screenplay by Tony Kushner. The film is an adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical of the same name by Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, which is based loosely on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.[3][4] The film’s screenplay is expected to hew more closely to the Broadway script than to the 1961 film adaptation directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins.[5] It stars Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler as the film’s leads, alongside Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Corey Stoll and Brian d’Arcy James, as well as Rita Moreno, a star of the original 1961 film, appearing in a supporting role.
Produced by Amblin Entertainment, West Side Story is scheduled to be released by 20th Century Studios[1] in the United States on December 18, 2020.[6][7]
