He went on to thank Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sondheim for their “insight, guidance, and support” throughout the project.

Moreno is only the second announced cast member of the West Side Story remake, which will begin filming in summer of 2019, with Ansel Elgort previously joining the project as Tony.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself revisiting this seminal work,” said Moreno in a statement. “And to be asked by Steven Spielberg to participate is simply thrilling! Then to work together with the brilliant playwright, Tony Kushner — what a glorious stew! I am tingling!”
“From our earliest discussions, we wanted to include Rita Moreno in our production,” added director Steven Spielberg. “Her Anita is one of the greatest musical performances ever filmed, and a personal favorite of mine. We created an original role for her, and we feel beyond fortunate that Rita will bring her extraordinary gifts as an actress, as well as her deep understanding of West Side Story to this production as an executive producer.”
Directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, the original West Side Story was released in 1961, receiving praise from both the critics and the audience. The movie ended up receiving 11 Academy Awards nominations, winning 10 of them including the one for Best Picture.
