If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog, you’ll know that last night were the Prime Time Emmy Awards.
Each year the award show provides a coveted advertising opportunity for companies and it’s no surprise that Disney took advantage of the CBS special to give audiences another look at Spielberg’s upcoming release of West Side Story.
In case you missed it, lets take a look at the trailer from yesterday’s program:
I don’t know about you but I am pretty darn excited for this retelling of a much-loved musical!
The film will be released on December 10, 2021 and promises to be the hit of the holiday season!
Not only is the film directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg but its based on a screenplay by none other than Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner.
A modern retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story tells the tale of fierce rivalries and young log in 1957 New York City.
The film stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo); Mike Faist (Riff); Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino); Ana Isabelle (Rosalía); Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank); Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke); and Rita Moreno (as Valentina, who owns the corner store in which Tony works).
In edition the creative team is a virtual who’s who of Broadway royalty. Moreno is Executive Producer along with Kusher. The film was choreographed by Tony Award winner Justin Peck and Grammy Award Winner and conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Gustavo Dudamel helmed the recording. David Newman Anastasia arranged the score and Tony Award Winner Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie) supervised the cast on vocals.
