Here's everything you need to know about the movie's origin ahead of Sunday's Oscars. The musical drama, also directed and co-written by Cooper, has a lot of individuality and an unforgettable soundtrack, and has become a pop culture phenomenon in the months since its release. And if you haven't managed to see it ahead of the Oscars-where it's nominated for eight Academy Awards and stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga will perform-you may be wondering what all the fuss is about.

Watch Cooper and Ali’s full conversation as part of Variety‘s “Actors on Actors” in the video below.Bradley Cooper's directorial debut, A Star Is Born, has garnered rave reviews and prestigious award nominations since its release in October 2018. With filming beginning in May, don’t expect to see “Maestro” in theaters and on Netflix until at least 2023. And Carey Mulligan is an incredible actress.”


I’m excited to see someone so deeply focused on creating a story that means so much to him. Scott Stuber, the head of global films at Netflix, updated Variety in December on the pre-production of “Maestro,” saying, “We’ve done a lot of work on the makeup. He was kind enough to hand it off to me, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the last four and a half years, and we start shooting in May.” I think he knew he wasn’t going to make that movie for a while. “Steven has a lot of interests - he’ll just choose one thing and all of the other things will be on hold. “I, ‘I always felt like I could play a conductor, but may I research the material and see if I can write it and direct it? Would you let me do that?'” Cooper said. Cooper was coming off “A Star Is Born” at the time and was more interested in writing and directing movies than taking on an acting role for someone else, even Spielberg. Steven Spielberg was originally attached to direct a Bernstein biographical drama and recruited Cooper to star in it.
