The new issue of Vanity Fair includes several shots recreating the magic that is West Side Story. Starring Camilla Bell (Maria), JLo (Anita), Rodrigo Santoro (Bernardo) and Ben Barnes (Tony) the spread celebrates the return of West Side Story to Broadway. While the images are well executed I can't help but cringe at JLo trying to portray an 20 year old Rita Moreno. Camilla Bell is beautiful but there is something lost in her expression. Besides, no one can top Natalie Wood.
I have included a clip of the infamous scene that Vanity Fair recreated. No movie before or after has portrayed falling in love so accurately; the world turns foggy and you can only focus on each other. Beautiful.
