With a quick glance at the pic above, you might be thinking the title of this post is a lie. But while she looks a little different to the often outlandish and poised pop star she normally is, that is indeed Lady Gaga with Bradley Cooper in the pic above. However, it looks like she’ll be going by her real name, Stefani Germanotta, for the movie.
Warner Brothers describes the movie as a reimagining of the classic A Star Is Born, which has come to the screen three times before, in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, in 1950 with Judy Garland and James Mason and in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
In this version Bradley Cooper will be country music star Jackson Maine, who’s career is on the skids. He discovers Ally (Germanotta) and helps her find huge success. While they begin to fall for one another, things become increasingly difficult as his career fails while hers goes through the roof.
As well as starring, the film will also mark Bradley Cooper’s feature directorial debut. Don’t expect to see the movie for a while though, as it’s not currently due out until September 2018. It’s likely the first pic was released due to the fact that Gaga has been onstage at Coachella filming the movie in the last few days.
Although we’ve had a couple of promos for the excellent looking Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, one thing we haven’t seen is Kurt Russell as Star Lord’s father, Ego the Living Planet. That’s now been remedied with a new trailer – although you have to wait until the very end to see him. Oddly, he does look like he really could be Chris Pratt’s dad.
Guardians Of The Galaxy certainly wasn’t lacking in action, but it appears that they may be upping the stakes for Volume 2, as this new Extended Look is packed to the brim with sci-fi fighting, flying and general craziness. They may also be bidding for having the world’s cutest character with Baby Groot.
Starring: Miles Teller, Jonah Hill, Ana De Armas, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Pollak
It’s easy to forget that before it was released Guardians of the Galaxy seemed like a massive gamble for Marvel. It was based on a property that wasn’t as well-known as the likes of Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America, had a very different tone to other Marvel movies, and its more explicitly sci-fi setting didn’t match what we’d seen from the Marvel Universe up to that point.
Many wondered whether the intergalactic adventures of Guardians of the Galaxy would be a flop, but it ended up being one of their biggest hits, ensuring a sequel is on its way. It reunites the main cast and creative forces for what this first teaser suggests will be another fun adventure.
