The Birth of a Star
Although the 1905 Film Network News only won one best original song award at the Oscars, the 2018 version of "The Birth of a Star" received 8 nominations from the Oscars and was also loved by many fans. Recently, Warner decided to re-release the film, and will also add a new 12-minute material to the film.
It is understood that this special "return version" will add several new songs, as well as some unpublished behind-the-scenes footage. It can be said that this version is already full of sincerity. According to Warner's plan, the return version of "The Birth of a Star" will be released on March 1, with a scale of 1,150 movie theaters and a release time of only one week. It's clear that Warner doesn't want to pick up the Oscars and add much box office to the film. After all, the film has already grossed $425 million worldwide. "The Birth of a Star" is a very classic theme, it tells the story of an ordinary girl who marries a big star, enters the entertainment circle under the recommendation of the star's husband, and gradually becomes a popular female star, but at the same time, her husband's career is declining, and leads to her finally choosing suicide.
Lady Gaga won the Academy Award for Best Original Song
There are three versions of A Star In film history, the 1937 version starring Jenny Gaynor and Frederick March, the 1954 version starring Judy Garland and James Mason, and the 1976 version starring Barbara Streisand and Chris Christopher. Of the three actresses, Jenny Gaynor and Judy Garland were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress that year for the film, while Barbara Streisand won the Academy Award for Best Song of the year for her song "Evergreen."
The version of the Warner remake will set the heroine as a singer rather than an actor like the third part, and it also coincides with the identity of Lady Gaga. In fact, as early as 2011, the film had already entered the preparation stage, when the director was Clint Eastwood, the heroine was also Beyoncé, and the male protagonist approached Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper. However, Tianhou quit the film because she was pregnant, and Eastwood was busy directing "Jersey Boys" and quit the directorship, and the film was handed over to Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
