20th Century Studios has released brand new images fromSteven Spielberg’s upcomingWest Side Storyadaptation. This will be the second time the musical has made its way to movie theaters, withAnsel Elgortand newcomerRachel Zeglerin the lead roles as star-crossed New York City teens Tony and Maria.
New images were shared by 20th Century Studios onTwitterin conjunction with an in-depth preview fromVanity Fair. The four photos shared by 20th Century Studios give us insight into some of the biggest moments from early on in theWest Side Storyplot. There’s a shot of Tony (Elgort) and Maria (Zegler) getting some romantic one-on-one time. One photo shows Spielberg on set withRita Moreno, who returns to theWest Side Storyworld 58 years after winning an Oscar playing Anita in the first movie musical adaptation. There’s also a joyful photo of Anita (Ariana DeBose) and Shark leader Bernardo (David Alvarez) dancing in the streets (fingers crossed it’s a still from the iconicWest Side Storysong “America”). Another photo seems to be from that same sequence but shows Upper West Side gangs the Sharks and the Jets facing off at a dance. Even though we’ve seen images from Spielberg’sWest Side Storyin the past, none have looked quite as exciting as these. Make sure you check ‘em all out below.
