So now that Ben Platt uploaded and shared a video of him performing “Maria”…which I did not like to say the least, it made me want to revive this thread. Since this is going to happen anyway (whether it’d be now or in ten years as can happen with Spielberg projects), who would people cast as Tony, Maria, Riff, Anita, Bernardo, etc.?

Selena Gomez would be awesome as Maria but I’m more excited to see who gets the baity role of Anita. Easily the best character in the entire movie….with the best song.

I will be sad if it is Platt. I’m not a fan, while he talented he has a HUGE head. It doesn’t seem like he’s aware of it or wants to hide it either. Imagine him at award shows :/

I don’t think she’d be a good fit, because she’s never really had any acting experience, and is her voice capable of singing theatrical songs?

The problem there is, will the movie begin production while she’s still in rehab? As a result, I don’t think they’re going to go for her. Maybe they’d go for Selena Gomez, since she’s the same age as Demi Lovato, but I would’t be surprised if they go with either a complete unknown or maybe someone with actual theater experience. I think they’ll want to keep any pop stars out of the film.

I wish they would go with an unknown for Maria. This would be the perfect opportunity for a fresh face to break through and bring something different to the table.
