Netflix nabs Bradley Cooper’s follow up project to A Star is Boen.
Deadline was first to report that Cooper’s forthcoming biopic on composer Leonard Bernstein first set at Paramount has now found a home at the streaming giant.
The project comes with a slew of A-list producers, including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and Todd Phillips.
“Bradley’s directorial debut was nothing short of brilliant and he quickly cemented himself as a serious filmmaker,” Scott Stuber, head of Netflix film, said in a statement to the outlet. “His strong passion and clear vision for bringing to life the relationship between the iconic composer Leonard Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre, promises to do their lives justice as only this renowned filmmaking team can. We are honored to be working with the Bernsteins to share their family’s story with audiences everywhere.”
The film will be given a limited theatrical release before debuting on Netflix.
