The legendary Jurassic Park director is said to finally be directing the film next year, having spent the last 15 trying to obtain the rights for it.

The Hollywood powerhouse – who, to date, has been nominated for 17 Academy Awards, and won three of them – is said to feel the time is ripe for the iconic film, originally made in 1961, to be remade.
West Side Story took home 10 Oscars when it was first released – including for best directors, film, supporting actress and actor.
The story centres around two gangs – the Sharks and the Jets – and is loosely based on the plight of the Montagues and the Capulets in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.
It’s believed that if Liam lands a part, he’ll feature as one of the Jets – potentially even one of the leaders Riff or Tony.
