The tagline for the 14th Cinema One Originals, I AM ORIGINAL, is on one hand a declaration, of uniqueness and of individuality, but it's also a celebration, of that very quality we look for in the films we show, and that includes this year's lineup for the World Cinema section, and our Opening and Closing Films.
Bradley Cooper's directorial debut- A Star Is Born- is a remake of a remake of a remake, and a remake of a film that's beloved in each iteration. At some point, Cooper's friend Eddie Vedder tried to discourage him from touching a classic. The second remake, in 1954, starring Judy Garland, turned the original film about a movie star on the rise and the man who discovers and falls in love with her into one of the most enduring musicals in Hollywood, transposing its Svengali narrative to the music business of the time, while the subsequent 1976 remake, with Barbra Streisand, re-purposed it against a rock n' roll backdrop has become iconic.
Cooper eventually ignored Vedder's warnings and his remake, which stars himself as a down and out country singer who discovers and mentors and is eventually smitten by an unknown singer-songwriter, played by Lady Gaga, in what has been hailed as a breakout performance, premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, and has become one of the most unanimously revered and rapturously received films of all time.
"A Star Is Born" opens this year's Cinema One Originals 2018 on October 9 at the Gateway Mall.
The film stars Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Dave Chapelle, Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Elliot.
