thesun.co.uk:

STEVEN Spielberg has added in multiple black characters to his Hollywood adaptation of West Side Story. The veteran director has written in a new main role, Ade, who had to be played by a black actor and went to Broadway star Curtiss Cook.

Curtiss, 39, who trained at a London drama school, said it was an important update to a story and reflective of the time it was set in New York in the Fifties.

He told The Sun: “It’s a new character that Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner decided to add, and rightly so I think because in 1957, in New York City, there were a lot of black people walking around. “But unfortunately when they created the original version there weren’t a lot of black people in it.

Berlin Review: Ulrich Seidl’s ‘Rimini’

There’s bleak, there’s despairing, and then there is Ulrich Seidl, Austrian chronicler of the marginal, the miserable and plain mad. If there are Nazis still worshipping Hitler in some rural basement, Seidl will dig them out. Closet religious fanatics, marriages mired in cruelty, depraved things respectable people do on holiday that nobody at home will know about: Ulrich Seidl sets them out for all to see. Perhaps the Rimini director/co-writer is not so much bleak as relentlessly clear-eyed.
