Interestingly enough, just last week, it was confirmed that another Leonard Bernstein biopic is in the works with Jake Gyllenhaal attached to star. That biopic, titled The American, has Cary Joji Fukunaga attached to direct.

No word yet on when Bradley‘s new biopic will be hitting theaters. Stay tuned!
