A casting call has been sent out for the West Side Story remake that will reunite director Steven Spielberg with his Oscar-nominated Munich and Lincoln screenwriter Tony Kushner.
We will bring you more information on the West Side Story remake as it becomes available.
West Side Story would be the first full blown musical directed by Spielberg, but that just makes the prospect of seeing what he does with the source material all the more exciting.
West Side Story debuted on Broadway in 1957, four years before it was adapted for the big screen and became the record holder for the most Oscar wins for a movie musical, with 10 wins in total.
