Don’t know WHAT to think about the news that Steven Spielberg is planning to film a remake of West Side Story. The original was SO colorful and fabulous. We will never forget that life-changing moment when George “Bernardo” Chakiris, in that purple shirt, and great posture, appeared at the big dance. It resulted in a lifetime attraction to Latinos in purple shirts. Years later we met George and he still had that dancer’s physique. Very nice man. What can Steven Spielberg possibly have in mind that will improve this movie? We’ll try to keep an open mind… (Above, George Chakiris and Natalie Wood)

i heard that Speilberg was considering letting Strom to do the casting,
imagine
….. an empty stage except for one lonely, ugly, illiterate, white guy in a pointed white sheet – running around in a circle screaming only to himself, ” when your a jerk, you’re a jerk all the way !!!! ” and then grotesquely french kissing and jazz hand dancing a battered and sticky latex blow up doll in the spotlight
oh the horror ….
please be calm: they will show it only at various homes for the elderly.
Is this entertaining for elderly Jews?
I hope he wont remake anything. He should stick to making Holohoax movies….
Poor little Washington….the worst actual rumor is that Jlo is seeking to be cast…that would insure the movie is a failure.
Hollywood & their stupid remakes! Another thing ruined!
George Chakiris is actually Greek, and yes, he was amazingly handsome and talented.
I don’t think this movie should be remade. Some movies should just be left alone.
I am in complete agreement with Janet! And let’s not forget the fabulous choreography by Jerome Robbins. Said to be a taskmaster and not a particularly nice person, but BRILLIANT at those dance moves!
Agree with Hilary. There is no one like Jerome Robbins. Who? Paula Addul? Are you kidding me. Please leave this movie alone. Some movies should NOT be remade. Instead come up with new ideas and storylines.
Some are even speculating that Spielburg was involved wirh Silversteen on W tC7
Ha, Paula Abdul and J Lo…..both extremely happy with and experienced in screwing BLACKS!
Like I have said before…what do you expect? Hollywood is fresh out of ideas so remakes galore.
Some are even speculating that strom can’t do it with a blow up doll.
it’s his only option, play nice
