During Variety‘s recent Actors on Actors interviews, Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper confirmed that production on the biographical drama film Maestro is expected to begin this May.
The project serves as his first directorial project in over three years after the acclaimed drama A Star is Born.
In addition to directing, Cooper is also set to portray the leading role of award-winning composer Leonard Bernstein.
Cooper’s main focus on the project has always been the “charged and complex relationship” between Bernstein and Montealegre.
