Netflix has premiered the first trailer for Bradley Cooper’s biopic “Maestro”. Cooper both directs and stars in the film as legendary Broadway and film composer Leonard Bernstein. 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, Sarah Silverman and Maya Hawke co-star in the film which marks Cooper’s first directorial effort since his “A Star Is Born” remake. Mulligan stars as Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre in the film which Cooper co-wrote the script for with Josh Singer (“Spotlight”) in a tale spanning over thirty years. Bernstein’s own music also serves as the film’s underscore with the movie set to premiere in competition at the 80th Venice International Film Festival next month. Cooper also produces alongside Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, Fred Berner and Amy Durning. The film gets a limited theatrical release on November 22nd with a streaming run on Netflix on December 20th. https://www.darkhorizons.com/teaser-trailer-bradley-coopers-maestro/
