Η πολυαναμενόμενη νέα έκδοση της ταινίας “West Side Story” που αφηγείται την κλασική ιστορία της νεανικής αγάπης που διαδραματίζεται στη Νέα Υόρκη το 1957, σε σκηνοθεσία του βραβευμένου με Όσκαρ Steven Spielberg και σε σενάριο των Pulitzer Prize και Tony Kushner, κάνει την κινηματογραφική της πρεμιέρα στην Αμερική, στις 10 Δεκεμβρίου από την Walt Disney.
Το “West Side Story” είναι εμπνευσμένο από την αρχική παράσταση του Μπρόντγουεϊ του 1957. Η πρωτότυπη σκηνοθεσία είναι του Jerome Robbins, βασισμένη στο θεατρικό έργο & βιβλίο του Arthur Laurents, σε μουσική Leonard Bernstein & στίχους Stephen Sondheim.
“I dedicated this movie to my father, but it was my mother’s love of music, combined with my insatiable appetite to understand everything about movie making, that led me to start collecting motion picture soundtrack albums when I was young. I loved the ‘West Side Story’ cast album from the first time I listened to it. As a kid I could sing every one of its songs by heart – and I did sing them, until I wore out the patience of my entire family. The score feels like it’s always been part of me, and I believe that this is the greatest music ever written for musical theater. My sincere hope is that young people out there find this album and fall in love with it as hard as I did.” – Steven Spielberg
