Steven Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY - News & Discussion Thread — Page 30

...and now once again twitter is losing it's collective sh*t and coming for Ansel Elgort.

Dude wasn't even found guilty of anything and people are tweeting that he's a sexual assailant. WTF?!

Twitter is a toxic cesspool of garbage people. Just ignore them and keep that negative energy off this thread. They don't matter and they won't see it anyways.

Duly noted...I am sorry I even brought it up...

I think it’s WAY too early to be saying this will be a front runner."



I didn't say it was a front runner. I just posed questions (hence the question marks at the very end).

Ah. I’m sorry!!"

It's okay....

I gotta admit, it looks good, although Elgort's woodenness comes through in the trailer.

And no worries bb, that whole thing with Ansel wasresolved so long ago I just wanted to keep it positive on here with the excitement about this film."

Okay! Gracias!

On some of the foreign 20th Century Studios IG accounts (i.e. 20th UK, Italy, etc.), there's a slightly different 60 second trailer. It ends with Tony on the balcony telling Maria, "Run away with me."

Do you have a way of providing links to those. I would love to see them."

Sure! See below. It's only about 5% different than the official trailer, but still worth a look.

WRONG! I am a member of the older generation. West Side Story, onstage, was NOT Rent. It ran 732 performances. It got 6 Tony nominations and won 2. The tour did okay. The movie version was a huge success. It made the show.

Dude...I meant in emotional connection. As a theater kid we lived and breathed waiting for a high school or community group to put this show up. Was more of this because of the film? Certainly. Does that make it ant less personal? Not even close.

Sheesh.



And arent we talking about films here?

This soundtrack is gonna sound EPIC!!!"

With Dudamel conducting alongside David Newman's music arrangements and supervision, I have no doubt that the soundtrack will be incredible. Plus I adore the fact that "One Hand, One Heart" is now located in a church with stain-glass windows, it was so stunning that I thought Robert Wise came back from the dead to direct the scene.

Speaking of, I think I maybe in the minority here; but if I had to choose between the two movie musicals that Robert Wise directed (in the case of WSS 61' he co-directed) I would choose The Sound of Music. For I think that he took what he learned from before and applied it to a more magnificent, polished film that I consider it my favorite movie of all time.
