Quintus 5,399 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This sounds like opportunistic attention seeking to me, from a girl who knew exactly what she was doing when she "direct messaged" the guy all those young, dumb n horny years ago. If the film doesn't release till Xmas and this story doesn't blow up (a quick google of the search term "West Side Story" returned 0 results in relation to this story), nothing will change.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It's been a few hours. Wait for the full reaction. If it is proven.. do you think Disney will release a film with a sexual assaulter as the lead star and face of the movie? I think not. I would say the movie is very much in jeopardy. Imagine this, shows got cancelled not because the stars had done anything but because the occupation of the fictional characters in the show was problematic. This is much more concrete. If George Washington can get cancelled, nothing and no one is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Meh, it's just as likely more woke witchhunt bollocks. https://www.newsweek.com/ansel-elgort-getting-canceled-twitter-heres-everything-we-know-1512150 As if they'd cancel an entire near complete multi-million dollar film production over this.

crumbs 14,306 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hmm, not sure how Disney will approach this. I can't imagine the film will be cancelled (in all likelihood it was finished months ago), but you'd need to reshoot practically the whole film to replace him (downright impossible with COVID-19) so that's not an option either. I guess they'll just wait for due process to take place but I wouldn't be surprised if they delayed the film until next year. Looking at it from an industry perspective, it's probably a cautionary tale of why you shouldn't sit on a completed film for a year.

Jay 37,346 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Quote “West Side Story,” which marks Spielberg’s first foray into musicals, was expected to be a key Academy Awards contender. An awards career may still be in its future, but not at this year’s Oscars. “West Side Story” will launch a year later than expected, on Dec. 10, 2021 instead of Dec. 18, 2020. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/black-widow-west-side-story-eternals-release-date-delay-1234773491/ Will and Ricard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It was filmed from July-September 2019 Most Spielberg movies are out in theaters 3-6 months after they are done filming Disney very likely picked the Dec 2020 release date for Oscar reasons Spielberg has probably had the film in the can since March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,434 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yeah, maybe if he manages to finish WSS months before the premiere he can do another Very Important and Topical Movie™ starring Tom Hanks as some figure from US' history, so that JW could score it.

A24 4,331 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I'm mildly curious because it's probably going to be more visually and musically driven than let's say Lincoln.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I'm probably more curious about this than I have been of the last handful of Spielberg efforts, but I'm still coming at it from a "they remade Jaws?" perspective, but then again I can see why an updated version might find relevance. But it still just feels like a really bad time to release anything theatrically, so I wouldn't like to fancy its chances of making decent money.
