Steven Spielberg Won't Direct Another Musical After West Side Story
Steven Spielberg says that he has no intention to direct another musical after West Side Story. The film, which is a new adaptation of the 1957 musical of the same name by Steven Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, and Arthur Laurents, also functions as a remake of the Best Picture-winning 1961 film adaptation. It follows a tale of forbidden love between two rival street gangs who battle for supremacy over New York City's West side as gentrification begins to devour the neighborhood they're fighting for. Spielberg's West Side Story, which came out on December 10, 2021, stars Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana DeBose, Mike Faist, David Alvarez, and Rita Moreno, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in the original.
