Penned by Oscar nominee Tony Kushner ("Angels in America"), the new adaptation will begin filming in the summer of 2019.

Elgort has been cast as Tony, the character previously played by Larry Kert in the original Broadway show, and Richard Beymer in the classic film. Inspired by Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the story follows the rivalry between two teenage street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, and two lovers destined for tragedy as the tensions between the gangs escalate.

Spielberg has also recruited Justin Peck, one of Broadway's hottest choreographers, who won a Tony Award for this year's Broadway revival of "Carousel". The film will be produced by Spielberg, Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger.

Elgort was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in "Baby Driver". He is also set to star in the big screen adaptation of the Pulitzer-winning book "The Goldfinch", which will be released in October 2019.

New on Blu-Ray : WEST SIDE STORY (1961)

Synopsis: The winner of 10 Academy Awards, this 1961 musical by choreographer Jerome Robbins and director Robert Wise (The Sound of Music) remains irresistible. Based on a smash Broadway play updating Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the 1950s era of juvenile delinquency, the film stars Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer as the star-crossed lovers from different neighborhoods--and ethnicities. The film's real selling points, however, are the highly charged and inventive song-and-dance numbers, the passionate ballads, the moody sets, colorful support from Rita Moreno, and the sheer accomplishment of Hollywood talent and technology producing a film so stirring. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim wrote the score.
