Bradley Cooper’s ‘Maestro’ is “Expected” to Premiere at the New York Film Festival

July 21, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

There are two separate IndieWire articles slyly mentioning that Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” could have a New York Film Festival premiere in October.

First off, Eric Kohn’s blurb mentions a potential NYFF/Maestro bow by noting that it can “cost a studio upwards of $100,000 to cover the costs of a festival launch” and that distributors might be friendlier to a New York launch due to it being a lower-wattage festival.

Anne Thompson sounds even more confident that “Maestro” is NYC-bound, writing that the film is “expected” to premiere at NYFF. Thompson does add that “until the actors strike is resolved, director-star Bradley Cooper won’t be able to promote his second feature.”

Given that the vibe at NYFF is more director-driven and less star-oriented than Venice/TIFF, this does make sense. Netflix choosing a lower-profile premiere in New York means that Cooper would have an easier time “working the room” even if he doesn’t participate in a Q&A.

“Maestro” directs and stars in “Maestro.” He would be walking that very thin line between promoting the film as an “actor,” which he cannot do, and as a “director.” We’re not entirely sure how that will work out. I would bet the safe option would be for him to just not do press.

”Maestro” has test-screened four separate times since January, two different versions having been shown, including a brand new cut of the film post-reshoots. The gist I got from the early reactions was that it was incredibly well-directed and acted, but that the pacing was very off. Maybe Cooper has fixed that since then.

The film, which spans 30 years in the life of composer Leonard Bernstein, is said to focus more on Bernstein's relationship with his wife (Carey Mulligan) than it does on his own music.

There is currently no release date for “Maestro,” but one has to believe Netflix will release it this fall, maybe in October or November.
