‘West Side Story’ Casting Director Reflects on 18-Month-Long Search to Find ‘Quadruple Threats’ for Authentic Cast

Bob Verini “Steven had said that he wasn’t going to make the film if he couldn’t cast it correctly.”Thus, explains casting director Cindy Tolan, assembling the perfect ensemble was of existential importance to Spielberg’s revisited “West Side Story.” The goal was to capture all the charisma of the beloved 1961 original, while avoiding its much-criticized, inauthentic approach to ethnicity.“I looked to my office and I said, ‘We are not going to be the reason this film does not get made.’” An early, viral social media posting kicked off an 18-month worldwide search, involving open calls and appointments from the U.S. to Puerto Rico and Australia.All told, she claims, “we saw 30,000 humans,” and in no sense did any have to be professionals or even trained.

‘The Prank’ Review: Rita Moreno Shows Another Side in a Minor but Engagingly Nasty Teacher-From-Hell Comedy

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“The Prank” is no big whoop, but for a good stretch it’s a tartly written, engagingly nasty little comedy of high-school vengeance. It’s set during the senior year of Ben (Connor Kalopsis), the kind of eager, obsessive-compulsive overachiever who prints out several backup copies of his homework assignments, and Tanner (Ramona Young), a hacker, high on energy drinks, who’s his equally brainy but less responsible best friend. These two exist in their own unpopular cloistered geek space.
