petzipellepingoA few thoughts about what look like are nods to the 1961 film as well as what's new and different in the 2021 film. I have not seen the 2021 film yet, this is just based on what has been shown in trailers.
Also *CONTAINS SPOILERS* from the 'Making of' book so don't watch this if you want to go and see the movie without any knowledge of what's new or different in this adaptation.

SOMETHING’S COMING: WEST SIDE STORY - A SPECIAL EDITION OF 20/20 7 p.m. on ABC. Before Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of “West Side Story” hits theaters on Dec. 10, this prime-time program will revisit the history and making of that musical. Catch interviews with artists who helped shape the show, historians and performers from productions both old and new, including Rita Moreno, Chita Rivera, Ansel Elgort, Rachel Zegler, and Ariana DeBose, who, in Spielberg’s movie, has the formidable task of taking on a role once played by Moreno. “Not only am I remaking ‘West Side Story,’” DeBose recently told The Times Style Magazine, “but I’m stepping into Rita Moreno’s shoes — and she is beloved not only by Latinos but by the entire industry and musical fandom.”
