I\’ll also add that NOBODY, including Mr. Spielberg, could be trusted with doing a re-make of the film West Side Story.

Here\’s hoping that Spielberg leaves the idea of re-making the film West Side Story and does something else, like maybe making a movie of "In the Heights", or Robopocalypse. West Side Story is a great golden oldie-but-keeper of a Classic film that is what it is and should be left untouched…and alone. Mr. Spielberg, if you\’re out there listening, DO NOT MESS WITH A CLASSIC LIKE WEST SIDE STORY! Ever heard the expression "If it ain\’t broke, don\’t fix it"? That quote applies here..perfectly!

Frankly, I\’d rather see Steve Spielberg leave the film "West Side Story" alone and find something else to work on/with. West Side Story is a special classic all of its own, which should be left as it, and NOT re-made, by ANYBODY, including Spielberg.

A remake of the film version of West Side Story, by anybody, including Spielberg, imho, would be nothing short of a disaster, because it would just cut the heart and soul right out of this beautiful classic film. Mr. Spielberg, if you\’re listening, PLEASE leave this great film alone, don\’t mess with a classic, and find another film to your liking to remake.

West Side Story is a beautiful, golden oldie-but-keeper of a classic film that really should be left alone, because it is what it is, and nothing can beat the old, original classic, no matter what anybody says or thinks. Mr. Spielberg, if you really have as much affection for the film West Side Story as you say you do, the best way to show it is to NOT mess with this great classic, leave well enough alone, and to find something else to re-make. Thanks.

Musicals should never be re-made. I know people stage them all over the world with new casts and new ideas but that's inevitable on the stage. On the screen we should be left alone with our memories. Not a good idea Steven, as good a director that you are.

I really hope it's true that Spielberg is directing a film about Cortez and the Aztecs (Montezuma)!!!

I'm glad to here Spielberg will be teaming up with Tom Hanks again. Those two rarely do anything regrettable. I've always wanted to see Spielberg do a western flick, but I'd really love to see him do a film about the Indianapolis 500.

I'd rather have him working on Robopocalypse again…
