Maestro: Bradley Cooper Is Practically Unrecognizable in Upcoming Netflix Drama - IGN - IGN

Bradley Cooper will completely transform into American conductor Leonard Bernstein for Netflix's Maestro, an upcoming drama based on Bernstein's life. The film will follow Bernstein's marriage to Felicia Montealegre, and in photos Netflix has released from the set, you can see Cooper is significantly aged up in one of the shots, to the point where he is barely recognizable.

Earlier this year, Cooper confirmed to Variety that the film would start production this month. The movie is Cooper's first time back in the director's chair since 2018's A Star Is Born, which he starred in with Lady Gaga. For Maestro, Promising Young Woman's Carey Mulligan will star alongside Cooper as Montealegre. The movie is expected to come out sometime next year.

Bernstein was a conductor, composer, and pianist who lived from 1918 until 1990. His best-known work is the music for West Side Story, the Broadway musical about two rival teenage street gangs in 1950s Manhattan. The musical recently got a new theatrical adaptation, which we called amazing in our review.

A Star Is Born was Cooper's directorial debut, and the movie received widespread acclaim back in 2018. In our glowing review, we said the movie was "a refreshing take of this classic showbiz rise and fall tale, with updated character work, fantastic performances by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, and a soundtrack that will be stuck in your head for days." The movie received a handful of nominations at the 2019 Academy Awards, taking home the win for best original song with "Shallow."

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
