In 2011, plans to create a remake of the 1937 and 1954 versions of “A Star Is Born,” directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Beyoncé, began, but the film was in development hell for several years with searching for casts, including Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, and Tom Cruise. Then, in March 2016, Bradley Cooper signed on to star and direct, and Lady Gaga joined the cast of the film in August 2016. The main filming began at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2017.
The film, which premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2018, was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros on October 5, 2018. The film was nominated for eight categories at the 91st Academy Awards, and Lady Gaga won Best Original Song for "Shallow".

Interesting stories about the film
1. Bradley Cooper said Lady Gaga convinced him that everyone in the film should sing live. This caused Cooper to get more extensive vocal training.
2. Like his character Jackson, Bradley Cooper suffered both alcoholism and drug addiction. He spoke publicly about how sobriety saved his life and career.
3. Some scenes from the film were shot at the 2017 Coachella Festival, where Lady Gaga was the first female headliner in 10 years. Festival participants paid ten dollars to see the scenes being filmed, but recording devices were banned to prevent video leakage.
4. For the role of Jackson Maine, Bradley Cooper learned to play the guitar from Lukas Nelson, son of Willie Nelson.
5. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2018, and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper received a standing ovation for eight minutes after the screening.
