Something's Coming: The first full-length trailer for West Side Story has just been released.
Watch the brand-new trailer for Steven Spielberg’s #WestSideStory. See the film only in theaters December 10.
The Spielberg-directed remake stars Rachel Zegler as Maria and Ansel Elgort (more on him later) as Tony. It'll hit theaters on Dec. 10, a year after it was originally due to be released.
The trailer opens with Maria singing "Tonight" and sounding gorge, before we get a bit of whistling.
We also see Rachel donning the iconic white Maria dress.
And we get some glimpses of Ansel as Tony — especially in the dance scene. He says about three words in the trailer.
Overall, the trailer looks highly ~ dramatic ~, with plenty of quick flashes of more to come.
Some were excited:
The West Side Story trailers are holding back the musical numbers like the original jurassic park trailers did with the dinosaurs and the anticipation is killing me
Especially over Rachel's role:
i’m thinking oscar award winner rachel zegler for west side story
me after hearing rachel zegler's angelic voice at the beginning of the #WestSideStory trailer:

However, some noticed how little Ansel appeared in the trailer.
Last year, a Twitter user claimed that Ansel sexually assaulted her in 2014, when she was 17.
So, fans think the allegations may have something to do with his lack of appearance in the trailer.
#WestSideStory editors whenever Ansel showed up while they were editing the trailer
Ridley Scott reshot All The Money in the World with Christopher Plummer after finding out about Kevin Spacey, I don’t understand why they couldn’t delay #WestSideStory & reshoot it with someone other than Ansel Elgort. It’s just so weird seeing a predator as the romantic lead
There’s still time to replace Ansel Elgort with Tig Notaro. https://t.co/b8SeeY4Jik
