About “A Star Is Born”
In “A Star Is Born,” Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga fuse their
considerable talents to depict the raw and passionate tale of Jack and
Ally, two artistic souls coming together, on stage and in life. Theirs
is a complex journey through the beauty and the heartbreak of a
relationship struggling to survive.
In this new take on the iconic love story, seven-time Oscar nominee
Cooper (“A Star Is Born,” “American Sniper,” “American Hustle,” “Silver
Linings Playbook”) made his directorial debut. He stars alongside
multiple award-winning music superstar Gaga, who took home the Oscar for
Best Original Song for “Shallow,” and who was nominated for an Oscar for
Best Actress in her first leading role in a major motion picture. Cooper
portrays seasoned musician Jackson Maine, who discovers and falls in
love with struggling artist Ally. She has given up on her dream to
become a successful singer, until she meets Jack, who immediately sees
her natural talent.
The film also stars Andrew Dice Clay (“Blue Jasmine”), with Dave
Chappelle (“Chi-Raq”) and Sam Elliott in his Oscar-nominated performance
for Best Supporting Actor.
In addition to playing Ally, Gaga—who also previously earned an Oscar
nod for the song “Til It Happens to You” from the film “The Hunting
Ground”—performs original songs in the film with Cooper, which they
wrote with a handful of artists, including Lukas Nelson, Jason Isbell,
and newly minted Oscar winners Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony
Rossomando (Best Original Song, “Shallow”). The music is original and
all vocals for the movie were recorded live during filming.
“A Star Is Born” was produced by Bill Gerber, Jon Peters, Bradley
Cooper, Todd Phillips and Lynette Howell Taylor. Ravi Mehta, Basil
Iwanyk, Niija Kuykendall, Sue Kroll, Michael Rapino and Heather Parry
served as executive producers. The screenplay was written by Oscar
winner Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump”) and Bradley Cooper & Will Fetters.
Cooper’s behind-the-scenes team included Oscar-nominated director of
photography Matthew Libatique (“Black Swan”), production designer Karen
Murphy (“The Light Between Oceans”), three-time Oscar-nominated editor
Jay Cassidy (“American Hustle,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “Into the
Wild”), and costume designer Erin Benach (“Loving”).
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents, in association with Live Nation
Productions, in association with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures, a Jon
Peters/Bill Gerber/Joint Effort Production, “A Star Is Born.” The film
is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is rated R for
