Something’s coming, something good.

Fresh off his victory directing the Oscar contender “The Post” and the upcoming sci-fi thriller “Ready Player One,” Steven Spielberg is now eyeing new projects and the buzz is that a bold new version of “West Side Story” is among them as Deadline reported. There is also speculation that a new “Indiana Jones” vehicle may be in the offing.

The iconic filmmaker has long been interested in a reinvented version of the 1961 classic movie “West Side Story,” a seminal movie musical co-directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, which was steeped in the groundbreaking Broadway musical created by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents. Reports say that playwright Tony Kushner, whose masterpiece “Angels in America” will soon be revived at Berkeley Rep, has been working on the script. Deadline has suggested it is Spielberg’s dream project.

Spielberg and Kushner have collaborated before, notably on seminal films such as “Lincoln” and “Munich.” As Playbill reported, Kushner has big plans for the “West Side Story” reboot, saying that the setting and the score will remain untouched, but that he intends to deepen the emotional connection between Tony and Maria. He noted that the show represents “the greatest score of a musical ever written.”

“I’m interested that we see love at first sight, as opposed to lust at first sight,” Kushner told Playbill. “By the time they’re singing ‘Maria’ and ‘Tonight’ things are at a much deeper plane than just two horny kids.”

While all too many remakes of theatrical classics seem like an iffy proposition, theater junkies everywhere are jumping with joy over news of this particular collaboration. The potential for a Rita Moreno cameo alone has us finger snapping.
