A Star Is Born being remade again with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga

Set for 2018 release. Cooper is also directing and co-writing. Dave Chappelle and Sam Elliott and Dice Clay are playing sporting roles.

I'm definitely going to see this. Gaga will probably get an Oscar nomination too. She is going to be incredible in the Streisand/Garland role.

Cooper is not only starring opposite Lady Gaga, but is making his directorial debut with the film.

The movie is based on the 1937 film starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. The story centers on a movie star who helps an aspiring young actress find fame, even as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral. It was subsequently remade in 1954 by director George Cukor, with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, and again in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson toplining.

Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Elliott are also on the call sheet for the movie, which is currently in production.

Chappelle will play a character named Noodles, who is Cooper's character's oldest friend. He started out playing with him in blues clubs.

Bill Gerber, Jon Peters, Todd Phillips and Lynette Howell Taylor are producing with Cooper. Basil Iwanyk and Ravi Mehta are executive producing. Cooper also had a hand in crafting the script, with Will Fetters and Eric Roth also writing.

Warners has dated the feature for a Sept. 28, 2018, release.
