I wish they had picked literally anyone else as a leading man.

That being said, when I was a kid, watching WSS every weekend on VHS, I had trouble understanding the racial element since Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer looked exactly the same to me (dark hair, light skin, caucasian). So...this is an improvement on that.

Spielberg ❤️ Ansel tho...

this reminds me I'm more excied about The Fabelmans. I didn't even know he was making a West Side Story remake

Spielberg is a zionist

I watched the original for the first time somewhat recently and honestly there's a LOT to improve on lol, so I'm not necessarily mad that this exists. the original leading guy was THE blueprint for "is he hot or just tall" so on pure aesthetics Ansel Elgort really fits that bill I guess

I hope someone photoshops all of Ansel's screentime in that trailer with an actual potato. It would emote better than he can.
