Other than the visuals which were gorgeous the trailer was awful. I am not a fan of the visual look. The colors appear pale or washed out in a number of scenes. This look has been present in Spielberg's movies for a while now, unfortunately.
Thanks to the cinematography of Janusz Kaminski perhaps

It looked good, I really didn't notice the washed out look. Though I really need new glasses!. I hope that's not the case.

Seems unfair to entirely blame Kaminski. His work on last year's The Call of the Wild was gorgeous.
Their duty is to be good, not to replace. They can all exist.
Indeed! Like RoboCop, Conan the Barbarian, Force Awakens, Tomb Raider, The Mummy, Total Recall, Ben Hur, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Poseidon, Jurassic World, Psycho, Rollerball...
I think -- and this is an entirely preferential opinion -- a remake/reboot has to more than simply be allowed to exist, it should have a reason to exist*, i.e.: the writer has good ideas (not: Hollywood wants a remake and shoe-horns in a writer to crank something out and cast and film it to meet the set-in-stone release date).
* = The reason should not be, as joked often in the Pitch Meeting videos on the YouTube channel ScreenRant: Pitch Writer: "Because money." Studio Executive: "OH, money! Proceed."

I still can't believe KRUPKE was placed AFTER the death scene in the stage version! Wise was very wise indeed!
You've made a good point there. The fact that the "Officer Krupke" scene was placed before the rumble and the death scenes, and the "Cool" scene was placed after the Rumble and the deaths of Riff and Bernardo in the original 1961 film version of West Side Story was an excellent move, and it made for an even better story and piece of drama.
The putting the "I Feel Pretty" scene before the Rumble and the deaths of Riff and Bernardo, rather than afterwards, was also a wise move on the part of Robert Wise.
C'mon, for heaven's sake - it wasn't Wise, it was the screenwriter, Ernest Lehman - all his idea.
I know it's just the trailer, but that keyboard/synthesizer sound irritates the hell out of me. Big production, big budget......how about a real orchestra?!
I wonder if John Mauceri is also involved in this project, in some capacity. Anyone reading his book will know that his personal orchestrating and conducting relationship with Bernstein gave him a first-hand and special understanding of Bernstein's performance requirements in this and other works.
The last major film Mauceri was involved in was the Madonna film of EVITA. On the 2-CD soundtrack, he is credited with conducting 7 of the 31 CD tracks, which I always thought was very strange. But I've never heard what happened there and why he didn't do the whole film.
