Director Steven Spielberg is back with this special look at the 20th Century Studios project. The sneak peek features some new clips that haven’t been seen before, with the leads Ansel Elgort (Tony) and Rachel Zegler (Maria) stealing the show. We also get a taste of the soundtrack with the Academy Award-winner Rita Moreno performing ‘Somewhere’. Check out the clip here…
