As Steven Speilberg was earlier slated to direct the film, Bradley Cooper recently opened up about the same in an interview with Variety and recalled his conversation with the latter. He told Speilberg, "'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?'" He further added, "Steven has a lot of interests — he’ll just choose one thing and all of the other things will be on hold. I think he knew he wasn’t going to make that movie for a while. 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."

Netflix recently dropped the actor's first look as Bernstein and received fans' love. It featured Cooper with his co-star Carrey Mulligan. While Cooper is set to play Breinstein in the biographical drama, Mulligan will portray the role of his wife Felicia Montealegre.
