The first trailer for Bradley Cooper's directing follow-up to A Star is Born is here

The first trailer for Maestro is here – and it promises a biopic told through the lens of a decades-spanning love story.

It stars Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein, the legendary Broadway composer, and this is also Cooper's first time back in the director's chair since his 2018 debut A Star is Born. Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese are among the film's producers.

The movie will have a particular focus on Bernstein's relationship with his wife, the Costa Rican actor Felicia Montealegre, played by Carey Mulligan. Maya Hawke will also star as Leonard and Felicia's daughter, Jamie. According to the film's official synopsis, it's "a love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love."

The brief clip hints at just that, beginning with footage of the pair as a young couple who seem to still be getting to know each other. Sitting back to back, Felicia is making Leonard guess a number. "Are you itching to move?" she asks him, playfully. "No, I'm not, actually. At all," he answers. Later, we cut to a scene of the pair looking much older and grayer, in the same position. This time Leonard's thinking of a number: "It's two. Like us – a pair."
