Spielberg isn't the one to remake it.

Many literature experts disagree with your opinion on whether or not WSS is a 'version' of the R&J story. In fact, in the late 70s, they were taught in tandem in many high schools - the books issued to students were the 'back to back' version held one one way, it was Shakespeare's R&J; flip it over and it was WSS.

I remember first seeing that particular book, back in the early 1970's, in a now-defunct bookstore. It was interesting, but West Side Story is the play that I liked best.

I, too, think it's senseless to recreate this classic film. I know there was (or still is) an updated bilingual version with the Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish. If it is being remade as a film and they try the same thing, at least they can subtitle it. But I hate the thought of a remake, period.

You're absolutely spot-on, scarletetsdad! Re-making this great, golden oldie-but-goodie classic film (i. e.
West Side Story
) would simply cut the heart and soul right out of it! A re-make of
West Side Story
as a film would be a totally fiasco.

Well Spielberg ended up being the right choice.

Agreed, the remake was great. He was definitely a good choice (and I'm actually not a fan of the majority of his movies)
