You may have noticed we’ve been doing a lot of looking ahead lately. With the Venice and Telluride film festivals kicking off this week, it’s prime season for the most anticipated films of the fall to introduce themselves—and here at Vanity Fair, we’re getting to arrange a lot of those introductions. Take Rebecca Ford’s interview with Jamie Bernstein, the daughter of Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre, speaking for the first time about Bradley Cooper’s film about her parents, Maestro. Paired with dazzling first-look images for the film, the interview sets the stage for Maestro’s premiere at Venice later this week. “He had found a way into the story of our dad that wasn’t just about his career and his fame and all of that,” Jamie Bernstein says of the film, which costars Carey Mulligan as Montealegre. “It was instead something very personal, very intimate, really about who he was as a human being.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Rebecca Ford has yet another first look, this time at Jeymes Samuel’s follow-up to The Harder They Fall, the not-quite-Biblical epic The Book of Clarence. Natalie Jarvey reads the tea leaves of Max’s unusual deal with AMCto find yet more evidence that the streaming industry has reached its awkward phase. Chris Murphy catches Dunedirector Denis Villeneuve stoking hope yet again for a third film in that series, even as Dune: Part Two has been pushed to a 2024 release. And Lisa Liebman gets into Helen Mirren’s dramatic transformation for Golda, in which she plays Israel’s prime minister Golda Meir.
