This remake of The Legend: A Star Is Born is Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut, but there could have been more ways this film could have been made. Let us tell you that at one point of time, Clint Eastwood was going to direct this film. Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, and Beyoncé were all floated in as potential female stars, as well as several leading men were involved – Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Christian Bale.
But eventually, in 2016, Cooper was signed on not only as co-star but as director, and Lady Gaga was added shortly thereafter. The shooting of the film started in 2017 at Coachella. Scenes were also later filmed at Glastonbury, where Kris Kristofferson, the star of the 1976 film, gave Gaga four minutes of her set for her performance. The spectacular film eventually premiered at the Venice Film Festival (2018).
Subject: Bradley Cooper’s version of A Star Is Born draws most clearly from Streisand’s in several ways. Like that film, the 2018 edition is set in the music industry; It’s about a blues-rocker whose star is falling because of his addictions and a woman with undeniable talent as a pop star, and a scene set at the Grammys.
As well as Streisand’s version, it is a true passion project for Cooper, who went through extensive vocal and musical coaching. He has kept his personal connection to the film’s material private, but with his fingers crossed in directing, writing, songwriting and performing the film, it’s clearly something he feels strongly about.

Like both the 1954 and 1976 versions of the film, this A Star Is Born didn’t garner, at least, an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, this time for the power ballad “Shallow”, which Cooper and Gaga performed in a keynote. Let’s do moments in the film. But it looks like it’s also a likely candidate for some other nominations—including Sam Elliott, who plays Jackson’s older brother and manager, and to which Cooper plays his part.
Variations: But there are also differences. Now, the male star is named Jackson Maine (Cooper), a nod to the Norman Menace of the earlier films, and the female star (Lady Gaga) dropped the name “Esther” entirely for “Allie”. Is.
It’s also the first version that seems to have almost entirely kicked off the male jealousy trope, or at least considered it inappropriate. Jackson feels a little jealous that Ally is experiencing success, and in some cases this causes him to freak out. But Ally calls her out on it, and they handle it like any couple. It’s not her jealousy that ultimately does Jackson; It’s his addiction—partly his reaction, it turns out, to a very troubled childhood—that is ultimately his biggest problem.
Thus, this version of A Star Is Born is most interested not in celebrity tricks, but in the way relationships between successful, creative people can create and hinder that creativity – and how addiction plays out in that. can. That distinction feels natural and authentic in 2018, perhaps because stardom in the world of Instagram influencers and YouTube stars seems less mysterious than it used to be. The big question has become whether and how the people of fame can stay grounded.
Will this be the final A Star Is Born?
But this guess seems impossible. As long as there is Hollywood, there will probably be many more versions of the same old story. The shapes they take and the details change over time, but the original story—a love story, a melodrama, and a tragedy all wrapped up in one—holds endless appeal.
The 2018 edition of A Star Is Born opens in theaters on October 5.
Correction: An earlier version of this piece contained inaccuracies about the plot of What Price Hollywood? Because it deals with Max and Mary’s relationship and her Academy Award winnings. They have been fixed.
