Bradley Cooper will be fully transformed into American conductor Leonard Bernstein for the Netflix Maestro, an upcoming drama based on Bernstein’s life. The film will follow Bernstein’s marriage to Felicia Montealegre, and in photos released by Netflix from the set, you can see that Cooper is significantly outdated in one of the shots, to the point where he is barely recognizable.

Earlier this year, Cooper confirmed to Variety that the film would begin production this month. The film is the first time Cooper returns to the director’s chair after “Born a Star” in 2018, in which he starred with Lady Gaga. For the Maestro, Carrie Mulligan from the promising young woman will play with Cooper as Montealegre. The film is expected to be released sometime next year.
Bernstein was a conductor, composer, and pianist from 1918 to 1990. His most famous work is music for West Side Story, a Broadway musical about two rival teenage street bands in Manhattan in the 1950s. The musical recently received a new theatrical adaptation, which we called amazing in our review.
A Star Is Born was Cooper’s directorial debut and the film was widely acclaimed in 2018. In our brilliant review, we said that the film is “a refreshing look at this classic story of the rise and fall of show business, with updated work of characters, fantastic performances by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga and a soundtrack that will be stuck in your head for days. “The film received several Oscar nominations in 2019, winning the best original song with” Shallow “.
