For starters, no one has any idea when Spielberg's remake will actually start production

... as it's been in "pre-production" for years now. Spielberg keeps taking other projects which seem more urgent, like "The Post" last year, "Ready Player One" this year, and now whatever the next Indiana Jones is going to be, along with "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara" with Mark Rylance. Kushner may have a script ready to go, but this remake is still a long way off, I think.

Apparently, the movie has moved from pre-production to active pre-production. He has moved into the casting stages.

I am dumbfounded that Spielberg (of all people) really thinks we need a REMAKE of "West Side Story." If he wants to do a musical, why not something original or something never before adapted? I really don't get it.

Why "of all people"? I can think of several previous remakes that Spielberg either directed or produced.

I just never though I'd see WSS remade as it is such a classic (10 Oscars, I believe) and I am surprised Spielberg, who says he reveres classics, would want to attempt to top it.

LOL. I knew we were in trouble as soon as the 2nd paragraph.

Roger Friedman reports: ''Ivan Hove is directing.'' Any relation to Ivanhoe? ;)
