Cooper also wrote the screenplay with Will Fetters and Eric Roth. A remake of the 1937 film of the same name, it stars Cooper, Lady Gaga, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle, and Sam Elliott, and follows a hard - drinking country musician ( Cooper ) who discovers and falls in love with a young singer ( Gaga ). It marks the third remake of the original 1937 film ( which featured Janet Gaynor and Fredric March ), which was adapted into a 1954 musical ( starring Judy Garland and James Mason ) and then remade as a 1976 rock musical with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Talks of a third A Star Is Born remake began in 2011 with Clint Eastwood attached to direct and Beyoncé set to star. The film languished in development hell for several years with various actors, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith and Tom Cruise, approached to co-star. In March 2016, Cooper signed on to star and make his directorial debut, and Lady Gaga joined the cast in August 2016. Principal photography began at the Coachella music festival in April 2017. A Star Is Born will premiere at the 75th Venice International Film Festival in August 31, 2018 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 5, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

On March 24, 2015, Warner Bros. announced that Cooper was in final talks to make his directorial debut with the film, and potentially to star with Beyoncé, who was in talks to rejoin. Cooper would eventually star alongside Lady Gaga in the film.

After seeing him perform at Desert Trip festival, Cooper approached Lukas Nelson ( son of country music legend Willie Nelson ) and asked him to help work on the film. Nelson agreed and wrote several songs, which he sent to the producers.
