Does it end happily? Well, that would be a spoiler (obviously). But, despite its air of impending doom, this is a musical filled with a bevy of absolute toe-tappers; think America and I Feel Pretty, to name just two.

Who stars in West Side Story?

Divergent and Baby Driver star Ansel Elgort has been cast as Tony, the ex-Jet who leaves the gang in pursuit of a calmer life. And newcomer Rachel Zegler will be starring opposite him as Maria, after attending an open casting call that saw more than 30,000 women audition for the role around the world.

The film also stars the likes of Ezra Menas, Ariana DeBose, Julius Anthony Rubio, Ana Isabelle, Brian d’Arcy James, and Corey Stoll. And Rita Moreno – the iconic actress who played Anita in the original West Side Story film – will also appear in Spielberg’s version as new character Valentina, too.

Indeed, according to BBC News, Valentina will be taking the place of the original character Doc, who ran the corner store where Tony works. Doc’s character was also parallel to the character of Friar Laurence in Romeo And Juliet.

Is there a trailer for West Side Story?

A full-length trailer has just dropped, and it gives us the biggest glimpse we’ve seen yet of Spielberg’s cast bringing this timeless story to life. The chemistry between Elgort and Zegler seems palpable, and we can’t wait to see more of this forbidden love.
