Los Angeles, March 7 (IANS) Filmmaker Steven Spielberg will reportedly direct "West Side Story" remake.
Fox Broadcasting company has apparently unlocked the movie title from its archive in hope that the Academy Award-winning director will helm the project, after he expressed keen interest in remaking the classic musical, reports deadline.com.
