In episode five, we see a flashback to 1987, where a younger Preecher, then an up-and-coming designer working with Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, has a baby. In the present day, in the same episode, she meets with Dex's mom Virginia and explains her history, saying that she had a baby as a result of a one-night stand and gave up the child to a shadowy group in exchange for promises of career success.

The first such collaboration of animated alt-cast took place in March with the Big City Greens Classic, an NHL game between the Rangers and Capitals that ESPN and Beyond Sports re-imagined on a cartoon rink in the setting of the Disney show.
The film entered development in 2014 at 20th Century Fox;[11] Kushner began writing the screenplay in 2017.[12] In January 2018, Spielberg was hired and casting began that September. Justin Peck choreographed the dance sequences. Principal photography occurred in New York and New Jersey; filming began in July 2019 and ran for two months.
West Side Story had its world premiere at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater in New York City on November 29, 2021, three days after Sondheim's death.[13] The film was later theatrically distributed by 20th Century Studios[14] in the United States on December 10, after being delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][15] The film received critical acclaim with praise for the performances of the cast, Spielberg's direction, the musical numbers, the visual style and the cinematography, with some critics deeming it superior to the 1961 film. It was named one of the top ten films of 2021 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute.[16][17] Among its multiple awards and nominations, it received seven nominations at the 94th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, with DeBose winning Best Supporting Actress.[18] However, the film was a box office bomb, grossing only $76 million against a $100 million production budget, and an estimated $300 million break even target.
In March 2014, Steven Spielberg first seriously expressed interest in directing an adaptation of West Side Story, prompting 20th Century Fox to acquire the rights to the project.[11] Tony Kushner, who previously worked with Spielberg on Munich (2005) and Lincoln (2012), revealed in a July 2017 interview that he was writing the screenplay for the film, stating he would be leaving the musical numbers intact, and that the story would be closer to the original stage musical than to the 1961 film.[12][31] In a 2020 interview, Spielberg told Vanity Fair: "West Side Story was actually the first piece of popular music our family ever allowed into the home. I ... fell completely in love with it as a kid".[32] Spielberg would ultimately dedicate the film to his father, Arnold, who died during production at age 103.[33][34]
In January 2018, Spielberg was figuring out his next two directorial vehicles. Sources said that he was eyeing a fifth Indiana Jones film, and then would either precede or follow quickly with another film. It was reported that one might be his dream project, a new version of West Side Story.[36] This was followed a few days later with an open casting call issued for the characters Mara, Tony, Anita and Bernardo.[37] Additional open casting calls were hosted in New York City in April, and in Orlando, Florida, in May.[38] In July, the fifth Indiana Jones film was pushed back, allowing Spielberg to begin pre-production on West Side Story.[39]
Justin Peck was hired to choreograph the film in September, with Ansel Elgort cast in the film as Tony.[40][41] In November, Eiza Gonzlez emerged as a contender for the role of Anita.[42] Rita Moreno, who played Anita in the 1961 film, plays Valentina and also serves as an executive producer for the film.[43] In January 2019, newcomer Rachel Zegler was picked from over 30,000 applicants to play Mara, with Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, and Josh Andrs Rivera also cast as Anita, Bernardo, and Chino, respectively.[44] In March, Corey Stoll and Brian d'Arcy James joined the cast.[45] A month later, the rest of the ensemble comprising the Jets and Sharks factions was announced.[46]
Spielberg and Sondheim initially wanted to cut "I Feel Pretty" from the film. Its presence in the original musical, right after the rumble, was largely done against the wishes of Sondheim: he and Bernstein had been instructed by the producers to add an upbeat song after intermission to start Act 2, and so the song was written in protest. Sondheim would later remark that he was embarrassed by its lyrical content, to the point that he allowed it to be cut from the 2020 Broadway revival directed by Ivo van Hove.[62] Spielberg, likewise, questioned whether the upbeat song would still work without an intermission between it and the rumble.[63] It was ultimately due to the intervention of Tony Kushner that the song remained, as Spielberg later explained, "Tony [Kushner] explained to me, and then I explained to Stephen... that this is the first time in our story that the entire audience is ahead of Mara's story. And the audience will feel very protective of her because we know she's about to find out".[64]
West Side Story was initially scheduled to be distributed in the United States on December 18, 2020, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures through the 20th Century Studios label,[4][73] but in September 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney delayed the release date to December 10, 2021, which coincided with the 60th anniversary of the release of the 1961 film.[15] The film had an exclusive 45-day theatrical run, including engagements in Dolby Cinema and IMAX.[74][75][76] An IMAX fan event, with a live Q&A with Spielberg and the cast, took place in IMAX theaters nationwide on December 6.[77] Deadline Hollywood reported that Disney considered a limited release strategy for the film before expanding into wide release, but opted not to due to ramifications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the exhibition market.[78]
The film was first screened for members of the cast, including Zegler, Faist, Andrs Rivera and some members of the ensemble, at the David H. Koch Theater in Lincoln Center on November 17.[79] The screening was one of Sondheim's final appearances before his death on November 26. It then screened for industry and critics at its world premiere on November 29 at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, followed by Los Angeles at the El Capitan Theatre on December 7.[80][81]
During the 93rd Academy Awards telecast in April 2021, DeBose introduced the film's teaser trailer,[86] and Moreno later presented the Academy Award for Best Picture, commemorating the 1961 film's release and awards wins.[87] The film's official trailer premiered on September 15 on ABC's Good Morning America.[88] An exclusive look at the film, featuring extended sneak peeks at the "Dance at the Gym" and "America" scenes, was presented at the 49th Annual American Music Awards on November 22, introduced by Elgort and Zegler.[89]
Deadline Hollywood reported that the film was initially banned in all the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, believed likely due to the role of Anybodys being a transgender character, as played by non-binary actor iris menas.[b][91][92] In some cases, Disney has allegedly refused to make cuts requested by censors. An earlier Disney release, Eternals, was also banned in the GCC countries, except the United Arab Emirates albeit with some cuts to intimacy scenes. That film featured Marvel's first openly same-sex couple.[93] The cast and creative team responded, with co-producer Kevin McCollum telling The Hollywood Reporter: "I think we have to remember that during Shakespeare's time, at the height, the Puritans came in and tore all of the theaters down. You couldn't go to the theater, and yet Shakespeare survived. ... I believe that love will win, and this is a story about love, made with love, and what happens when you try to keep people from loving freely. ... I think we've done our jobs as artists to make this film, and the world will discover it even if certain cultures decide they don't want it in their borders".[94] West Side Story eventually released in cinemas in the United Arab Emirates around a month later.[95][96]
In his final week as Disney chairman in 2021, Bob Iger said the company "did a brilliant job marketing" the film, but speculated that its weak performance could be due to competition with streaming services, the cost of theater tickets, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.[115] However, Kyle Buchanan of The New York Times blamed "the marketing campaign, which missed crucial opportunities", including leveraging Spielberg, "the movie's biggest name".[116] Sarah Whitten of CNBC observed the film was targeted towards older audiences, who were less likely to go to theaters due to the pandemic, particularly with the rise in the Omicron variant. She further noted the film lacked big names in the cast (save for Ansel Elgort and Rita Moreno) and was released around the same time as Spider-Man: No Way Home, all factors that could have hurt its ability to perform well at the box office.[117]
Some Latinos were critical of the remake. Arlene Dvila wrote in an op-ed in El Nuevo Da: "It's sad to realize once again the reality that Puerto Ricans and Latinos will be reduced to made-up themes and ideas taken from the playbook of what 'Puerto Rican' and 'Latino' are to the white imagination because what's certain is that nowadays Hollywood is whiter and more exclusionary than ever".[128] Mandy Velez criticized the casting: "Once again, the actress playing the character of Mara is not Puerto Rican".[129] 589ccfa754
