Spielberg's War of the Worlds was good. Also, I would say, more faithful to the original novel than the 1953 version was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With today's DAILY debates on people coming into the country, people in minorities, religious differences, gender, sexual accusations, political division, etc etc. WSS can have a very different flair from original YET send the same kind of message. JMO The TV show In Living Color had a "Crown Heights Story" skit in 1991 in which the two gangs were African American and Jewish, with Kim Wayans and Jim Carrey as the leads.

JMO WSS was originally going to be ESS, with the story taking place on the lower East Side between Irish Catholic and Jewish families. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 1990s documentary titled East Side Story; its subject was musicals produced in Russia and its Iron Curtain satellite states.

oldsnare Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 How about a mixed language version. To be realistic, The Sharks probably spoke Puerto Rican street-jargon when they were taking among themselves; only spoke street English when talking to The Jets. America could be split between Spanish and English as the two sides (males/females) are going back and forth - certainly would add to the Spanish/American conflicts. Just a thought.
