Spielberg’s upcoming musical adaptation is based on the original 1957 Broadway musical, written by Arthur Laurents with music by Leonard Bernstein. It is set for release on December 18th, 2020.
The image features stars Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler as Tony and Maria as well as members of the rival gangs the Sharks and the Jets.
Pictured left is the Jets members Anybodys (Ezra Menas), Mouthpiece (Ben Cook) and Action (Sean Harrison Jones); Jets leader Riff (Mike Faist); and Baby John (Patrick Higgins). On the right is Maria’s brother and Sharks leader Bernardo (David Alvarez) and other Sharks members Quique (Julius Anthony Rubio), Chago (Ricardo Zayas), Chino (Josh Andrés Rivera), Braulio (Sebastian Serra) and Pipo (Carlos Sánchez Falú).
Spielberg is directing from a script penned Tony Kushner. David Newman will be arranging the score for the new adaptation and Gustavo Dudamel will helm the recording of the score.
