Maestro New Trailer Unveils Bradley Cooper’s Second Directing Work
On August 15, Netflix released the first trailer to Maestro. The highly anticipated Bradley Cooper biographical romance film follows Cooper’s second directorial effort.
It has been five years since Cooper made his directorial debut and stunned audiences with his remake of A Star is Born. The 2018 film starred Lady Gaga as Ally, and Cooper as Jackson Maine. The supporting cast included Sam Elliott (The Big Lebowski) and Anthony Ramos (In the Heights).

Many fans were left wondering how Cooper would follow up after the massive success of A Star is Born, and the seasoned actor has done it with Maestro.
The film is directed, co-written, and co-produced by Cooper, and will chronicle the life of Leonard Bernstein, including his tumultuous 25-year marriage to Felicia Montealegre.
The composer is most notably known for writing the music for West Side Story and won a whopping 16 Grammy Awards.
