As a devout fan of the original 1961 film version of West Side Story, who's an ultra-conservative when it comes to reboots/remakes of great older classic films, especially something like West Side Story, I looked at the photographs of the upcoming reboot/remake of the film West Side Story and did not like what I saw. I will not post in detail why I've resolved not to go see the remake of WSS when it comes out in mid-December of 2021, at least in part because it would take up way too much space on this message board. From what I understand, however, the intention is to bypass the original 1961 film version of West Side Story entirely and base it on the original 1957 Broadway stage production.
