Netflix has premiered the first photos from the set of the biopic “Maestro” that’s both directed by and stars Bradley Cooper as legendary Broadway and film composer Leonard Bernstein.
Marking Cooper’s first directorial effort since his “A Star Is Born” remake, Cooper co-wrote the script with Josh Singer (“Spotlight”) in a story spanning over thirty years.
Making his debut with the New York Philharmonic at 25, Bernstein wasn’t just a famed conductor and composer but also a civil rights activist and author. He composed the musical “West Side Story” and the Oscar-nominated score for “On the Waterfront”.
Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer and Maya Hawke co-star in the film with Mulligan as Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre. Cooper also produces alongside Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Fred Berner and Amy Durning.
Shooting kicked off in recent months ahead of a 2023 release.
