They don't have a cast and a filming date yet, I guess MGM is waiting for Cyrano starring Peter Dinklage to come out this Christmas first.

The publicity tour when WSS comes out will be amazing! I hope they put Rachel and Spielberg together in interviews

Holy cow. This Jew is speechless. Talk about narrow-minded.

Why? People are interested in what they are interested in. Not really a big deal.

It may not be so amazing if they zero in on Elgort - which I'm sure they will - as he too plays a lead role.

It will be amazing all around including for Ansel, the only people bringing up anything problematic are on this website.

Also on Twitter, but those people are just looking for something to get upset about.

I love this comment.

I can't wait for the soundtrack to come out too.

Spielberg: “This has been a journey without precedence: a joyful, stunningly moving, endlessly surprising encounter with the story and score of one of the world’s greatest musicals. My brilliantly talented, fiercely committed, generous and apparently inexhaustible cast and crew of hundreds have given our film everything they’ve got, and already I can say that the film we’ll be releasing owes everything to them, as does its immensely grateful director. The city lent us its beauty and its energy, and we drew deeply upon its grand, multicultural, multifaceted spirit.
To the people of New York and Paterson, thanks not only for putting up with our trailers, tents, cranes, and mid-street dance sequences; from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the warm welcomes we encountered everywhere, from pedestrians and policemen and neighborhoods and kids. We couldn’t have made our musical without you.”

”Lay All Your Love on Me” by Ansel Elgort

I'm excited for all of the songs. I hope they use the uncensored lyrics that had to be censored in the original film for a number of the songs like Krupke, Jet Song and Tonight Quintet

The opening, the entire "Gym Sequence", "America", and hopefully the usually cut "Somewhere Ballet" that I'm praying is restored for this version.
A Justin Peck choreographed "Somewhere Ballet" would be a wonder to behold on screen.

The Somewhere Ballet is usually in most stage productions of the show. It was cut from the original film despite being in all of the script drafts because of Robbins' departure. They were planning on saving the Somewhere Ballet for the very end of filming so Robbins could plan it.

And he had already begun to plan it; the collector's edition DVD box set a while back had some storyboard art from the ballet on it somewhere. (Can't remember if it was a gallery feature or a quick flash with an explanatory caption in the documentary segment.)
