During Sunday nights Oscar the teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story dropped.

The film was supposed to come out in Dec 2020 but was pushed to Dec 2021 due to the pandemic.

I mean how publicly known is the Ansel thing?

Could they gloss over it for the general public? I feel sorry for everyone else who worked hard on the film...

I had to go back in his tag to see what OP meant, I think it's hardly publicly known. But it could come up again with the film starting promo...

[verschreibsel]

Yeah it could but I know without conviction most people will dismiss it again if he's good in this.

sad truth

I think I missed whatever happened with Ansel Elgort.

[champagnexdream]

He existed in movies

Something to do with underage teenage girls I think?

I think he was talking to teen girls or something and he got exposed

Going out of their way to hide Ansel.

Doubt the gp cares about the disgraced star angle when we can barely remember it on here

it's like they're trying to make the new film pointless

I mean, there's a lot of brown face in the original film. Granted Rachel Zegler is Colombian, not Puerto Rican, it's still nice not having a lead actress coated in bronzer.

i mean stylistically. it just looks like a love letter to the original. maybe the actual film will be different, who knows
