The long awaited “A Star is Born” film starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is set to release on October 5, 2018. Like the original, released in 1976 starring Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, this movie is poised to jar your heart and tantalize your ears in the musical sense.
This film was first done in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, then in 1956 with Judy Garland and James Mason. Fast forward to 2018, we are ready to be rocked again by two superstars, Gaga and Cooper. The dazzling duo are set to capture the similar onscreen chemistry and magic as their predecessors.
The soundtrack features both Gaga and Cooper performing 19 songs, together and separately. Included within the soundtrack are 15 dialogue tracks capturing specific moments in the film. Cooper plays Jackson Maine a star on the verge of burnout in need of inspiration. He finds Ally, played by Gaga who is a natural talent. She becomes his muse as he takes her under his wing. They fall in love and as her career soars he becomes more self-destructive.
Cooper directs the film and wanted Gaga to be as natural as possible – free from all her makeup. She is captured in her natural beauty and raw wholesomeness, something we rarely witness in everyday life. Her voice is riveting and though she is new to acting, sources say she was advised “to truly let go” and give an all-star performance.
Streisand gives an early thumbs-up to the film, adding, “What I saw of it was very good, it’s just it feels reminiscent of mine, but they added some new things which I liked, too. … I’m sure it’ll work.”
The soundtrack includes two songs from the film’s trailer: “Maybe It’s Time” sung by Cooper and “Shallow” sung by Gaga.
