Well, this looks…like the original. Honestly, it does seem like a very faithful rendering of West Side Story, but with the correction of having a Puerto Rican actress play Maria. I still am not entirely sure why Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner (who wrote Lincoln and Angels in America) wanted to do a remake of this of all things, but we’ll see if turns out to be any good. I can’t really tell from this trailer, which doesn’t show anything you wouldn’t expect (I’m also not an Ansel Elgort fan, who seems to me like a black hole of charisma- that guy would stand out in a crowd? I don’t think so).
