Bad Signs For This Movie

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] There is a movie coming out this fall. It features two huge stars who are working together for the first time. The movie is currently in post-production… and people are panicking!

The trailer looks great but the film is a mess. The story doesn’t hang together, it doesn’t look right, it doesn’t sound right, the chemistry is off between [the two stars]. It might be salvageable, but lots more editing needed. Maybe some reshoots if they get panicky enough.

If the romance between the male and female lead isn’t believable, that’s a bad sign. However, the most curious part of this is the problem with the story. Hasn’t this story been done before?

SOLVED!

Movie: A Star is Born

Actor: Bradley Cooper

Actress: Stefani Germanotta , aka Lady Gaga

Blind Gossip was the first to tell you way back in May of 2016 that Lady Gaga was Cooper’s choice for the lead role of the most recent remake of A Star is Born.

We were right, and she was cast.

However, by May of 2018, things were not looking good for the film!

Well, we have some good news: They have fixed all the problems! They did a lot of work in post, and we hear that all the outstanding issues have been resolved. It looks good, it sounds good, and it looks like there is chemistry between the two leads.

Given that Bradley Cooper is starring AND producing AND directing the flick – and that it’s Lady Gaga’s first big role – we’ll bet everyone involved is very relieved.

Oscar nominations… here we come!

By the way, one of the coolest things about the film (and one of the most difficult to get right) is that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga sing LIVE. Cooper, who is not a singer, had to get a lot of vocal training to do this well.

This is the FOURTH remake of A Star is Born since 1932!

  • 1937 : Janet Gaynor and Frederick March
  • 1954: George Cukor directed Judy Garland and James Mason
  • 1976: Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson
  • 2018: Bradley Cooper and Stefani Germanotta

Did you pick up on the clues? Star, bad, romance (Gaga’s hit song Bad Romance), and mentioning a story that’s been done before should have helped you find the answer to this one.

Congratulations to Kingofboggle for being first with the correct answer!

  4. Gotta be “A Star is Born.”

    Theres been a lot of rumblings that Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga have zero chemistry.

  6. Movie: A star is born

    Actor: Bradley Cooper

    Actress: Lady Gaga

    Clues: this movie has been made multiple times

  7. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga
    Clues: “bad signs” and “romance” bad romance, “been done before” 2nd remake of the movie

    • Actually the FOURTH time (roll eyes here) and the best is with Judy Garland singing “The Man that Got Away.” When the Oscar for Best Actress went to Grace Kelly instead of Garland, Groucho Marx called it “the biggest robbery since Brink’s.” Why mess with a classic?

    • This is actually the 4th remake- 1937 with Frederick March, 1954 with Judy Garland, and 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

    • Nope—it’s the fifth. 1932’s WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD was the very first, with Constance Bennett.

  16. A star is born (hasn’t this story been done before-it’s a remake)
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga

  18. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, A Star Is Born. A train wreck in the making . I’ve heard rumors that he cannot stand her

  20. A Star is Born?
    Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga
    But I watched the trailer, and it looked awful. No story, no hooks.

  21. A Star is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper! I’m so proud I used my detective skills and figured this one out!!!

    Optional: I 100% will not see this movie in theaters.

    P.S.Bradley Cooper will never be as hot as he was in American Sniper!!! EVER!

  22. A Star Is Born

    The picture depicting a bad destination, the theme of a destination wedding has been done to death.

  35. Movie: A Star is Born

    Actor: Bradley Cooper
    Actress: Lady Gaga
    Clues: Hasn’t this story been done before?….uh yeah. This movie will be the third time for the musical adaption, fourth overall for the story.

    Lady Gaga

    Hasn’t this store been done before?

  38. A Star Is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga, but they’re crediting her as Stephanie G.
    Clues: a mess – the male character’s life becomes a mess; huge stars – they are both; hang together – Silver Linings; romance isn’t believable – BCoop plays for the other team; doesn’t sound right – it’s a musical; story been done – three previous films, Janet Gaynor (I think), Judy Garland, and Barbra Streisand; there’s probably more but that should suffice.

  39. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga
    In post-production, “Bad Romance” is a Lady Gaga song, this is the fourth time the same story has been released as a film.

  41. A Star is Born with Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Two Huge Stars, story has been done before.

  45. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Stefani Germanotta aka Lady Gaga

  51. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga
    Clues: “been done before” : it’s the fourth version of the film

  52. Hmmm… The “curious” reference makes me think it’s Robin Hood (which uses the word “curious” twice in the trailers), and of course Robin Hood has been done, many times.

    But Taron Egerton and Eve Hewson are NOT huge stars, and I don’t know what the “sign” reference might be.

    There’s a lot that seems off about the trailer upon a second viewing, though.

  53. Movie: a star is born

    Actor: Bradley cooper

    Actress: lads Gaga

    Clues: hasn’t this story been done before?

  54. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Stefani Germanotta/ Lady Gaga
    Clues: “Stars”, the movie has been remade repeatedly.

    Oh, heck no! I may be outnumbered, but I never even liked the 1976 version with Streisand and Kristofferson. lol

  57. A Star is Born with Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Barbara Streisand starred the first go around.

  58. Movie: A Star is Born
    Actor: Bradley Cooper
    Actress: Lady GaGa
    Clues: “Bad,” “Romance,” “signs” (like star signs), “done before” (it’s a remake)

  62. Movie – A Star Is Born

    Actor – Bradley Cooper

    Actress – Lady GaGa

    Clue – Hasn’t this been done before – this is a remake of a remake…

    I find it hard to beat the past 2 versions & updating the storyline will probably kill the movie. I don’t think I will pay to see it, I will wait until it shows up on Cable.

  63. Movie: A Star Is Born
    Actor: Bradley Cooper
    Actress: Lady Gaga
    Clues: it’s been done many times before

  66. Movie: A Star Is Born.
    Actor: Bradley Cooper.
    Actress: Lady Gaga.
    Clues. “Hasn’t this story been done before?” It’s been done in 1954 and in 1976.
    I’ll probably go see it for Lady Gaga.

  68. A star is born

    Lady Gaga
    It’s a flop since the beginning and this story is very old

  69. A Star is Born
    Bradley Cooper
    Lady Gaga
    This is the third remake of the movie. The original was the best.
    Never

  72. A Star Is Born
    Gaga + Cooper

    This remake will be great. They are both incredible actors.

  73. A Star is Born with Lady, Lady Gags and Bradley Cooper…

    Clues: Romance. Bad. …Gaga’s song “Bad Romance”

    Hollywood needs some originality.

  75. Movie: John Wick 3
    Actor: Keanu Reeves
    Actress: Halle Berry
    Optional: I’ll see the movie just for Keanu (love him)

  76. this is a long shot but mary poppins return? lin manuel and emily blunt could be hit or miss. and its a remake

  77. Lady Gaga got too big for briches, I still cant figure out why she won a emmy for “American Horror Story” I thought her performance was too wooden.

    She should have never agreed to a classic as her big movie debut. 1. living up to the classic, which Judy Garland is remember for next to OZ. 2. she clearly choose to do this pic as oscar bait. 3. Making her a lead in movie huge mistake, she is not ready for it. She gonna fail hard.
    Optional: I will wait for prime for $4 to rent.
