Trailerblazing -- A Star is Born

A Star is Born -- October 5, 2018 -- directed by Bradley Cooper -- starring Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott, Dave Chappelle, Anthony Ramos, Bonnie Somerville 

 

Everyone can agree that some stories never go out of style and are always welcome with audiences. A Star is Born is one of them, following a troubled musician who discovers and promptly falls for a gifted singer. Bradley Cooper, who stars in the fourth incarnation of the timeless tale, has also co-written and directed the film AND sings in it, while Lady Gaga has already won a Golden Globe for playing a mercurial vampire in "American Horror Story: Hotel". I cannot get over how talented these two people are, so please excuse my gushing, but I also have to say that they make a truly believable couple. From the looks of the trailer, the chemistry between the pair is off the charts and it is this chemistry, of course, that the entire film hinges upon. Sam Elliott and Dave Chappelle are but two of the amazing supporting players gracing us with their presence and the music also sounds fantastic -- the beautiful "The Shallow" is already popular. I am looking forward to seeing Lady Gaga in another role and hearing some duets between her and Cooper, as well as checking out the similarities and differences between this version and the previous ones.
