"Cooper Stars with Fellow Oscar Nominee"

The "American Sniper" star is donning not just the director's hat but is also starring as the legendary Broadway composer Leonard Bernstein.

A Miniseries in a Movie: Bernstein's Legacy

Leonard Bernstein's life, a melody of triumphs, activism, and creativity, is the muse for 'Maestro.' He catapulted to fame at the age of 25, stepping in for an ailing colleague at the New York Philharmonic. "Bernstein did so well his star was launched the next day when his feat made the front page of The New York Times." But Cooper’s biopic isn't just about the music; it's a heartfelt tale depicting the intricate marriage between Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre.

Bernstein was more than just a musician. He was blacklisted before being cleared of communist allegations, composed the Oscar-nominated score for 'On the Waterfront,' and was an active civil rights advocate. In Hollywood, he's "best known for composing the score for West Side Story."

Bradley Cooper, who co-wrote the script with Oscar-winning 'Spotlight' scribe Josh Singer, seems committed to doing justice to this multifaceted genius. The film, set to release in 2023, has already ignited the spark of intrigue.

A story spanning over 30 years, from the podiums of New York's Philharmonic to the activism against the Vietnam War, 'Maestro' promises to be a symphony of cinema that resonates with moviegoers long after the credits roll.
