Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story | Special Look | 20th Century Studios

Watch a special look of Steven Spielberg’s #WestSideStory and see the film only in theaters December 10.

Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Tony Kushner, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City. This reimagining of the beloved musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo); Mike Faist (Riff); Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino); Ana Isabelle (Rosalía); Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank); Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke); and Rita Moreno (as Valentina, who owns the corner store in which Tony works). Moreno – one of only three artists to be honored with Academy®, Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony® and Peabody Awards – also serves as one of the film’s executive producers.

Bringing together the best of both Broadway and Hollywood, the film’s creative team includes Kushner, who also serves as an executive producer; Tony Award® winner Justin Peck, who choreographed the musical numbers in the film; renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor and GRAMMY Award® winner Gustavo Dudamel, who helmed the recording of the iconic score; Academy Award®-nominated composer and conductor David Newman (“Anastasia”), who arranged the score; Tony Award®-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (“Fun Home,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie”), who supervised the cast on vocals; and Grammy®-nominated music supervisor Matt Sullivan (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Chicago”), who served as executive music producer for the film. The film is produced by Spielberg, Academy Award®-nominated producer Kristie Macosko Krieger and Tony Award®-winning producer Kevin McCollum. “West Side Story” has been adapted for the screen from the original 1957 Broadway show, with book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and concept, direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins.

From 20th Century Studios, The Walt Disney Company will release “West Side Story” in U.S. theaters on December 10, 2021.

When y'all call it "Special Look", but it's not so special cause 90% of the footage are from the teaser trailer. At least give us another glimpse of the singing 😭

Was that Rita Moreno giving just a small sample of her singing "Somewhere". I mean even if it was only for the trailer...I'm still living for it.

This will be a stepping stone for lots of people involved in the film. For Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars, Baby Driver), for newcomer Rachel Zegler, and even for Steven Spielberg (in his first musical movie). And a Christmas present for us, cant wait for this one.

So hauntingly beautiful! Fun fact, this movie was actually a passion project for Spielberg going back nearly 65 years; he only had the cast recording growing up in Arizona in the 50's, and he was always picturing how he would film some of the songs. You can definitely tell that this was a passion project for him based on this clip alone.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't care what they change in this movie as long as they keep the aggressive snapping.

[Kmng]

Man, this is such a good year for theater kids and musical movies!!!

[dmnemaine]

As usual, the advertising for a musical acts like it's ashamed that it's a musical. The trailer for West Side Story should be all about the music and the spectacle. Why downplay it?

Remember watching the OG movie in high school, can't wait to see the magic Spielberg brings here.

[juliaholzschuher]

I literally have chills. I am so proud of Rachel and this entire cast!!

[lonellfletcher]

That face off at 0:05 is all I needed. The Mambo will truly be a dance

[AmandaaRose]

FINALLY A NEW PREVIEW!! Christmas can’t come any sooner 😭😭

[JackieRothNYC]

He's an amazing storyteller! Let's face it, he's one of the best, if not, the best Directors around taking on new challenges. A musical of a classic, remade. Can't wait to see this!!

Me bursting out in my best Streisand, "THERE'S AHH-HHAA-HHAA PLACE FOR US..."

RACHEL NATION WE
For real tho I could not be happier for her!

[thetruth]

Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, criticized, canceled etc. but has anyone else been noticing how it’s always movies and shows with a brown girl and a white guy but rarely a brown guy with a white girl? When are we going to start seeing more movies and shows with brown guys with white girls?
