Coming November, the Academy Award ambitions of ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Barbie’ will collide with Bradley Cooper‘s ‘Maestro.’ The 48-year-old actor turned filmmaker will likely be an Oscar favorite, given the widespread acclaim of his last directorial feature, ‘A Star Is Born.’ Once again, Cooper writes, directs, and stars in another high-profile project.
‘Maestro’ presents the beautiful and tragic odyssey of Leonard Bernstein. A singular talent, he was known for his work on ‘On The Town,’ ‘Wonderful Town,’ and ‘West Side Story.’ He led a complex inner life to which his answer was multiple infidelities. The biopic will chronicle his musical journey and murky personal life.
