50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2018 - Ranked

34. A Star Is Born

2018 In Film
Warner Bros.

Given the ways of the film-making world these days, it's inevitable that we'd see more remakes on the slate for the coming year, and one of the most intriguing is arguably also one of the most unexpected. The latest take on A Star Is Born - which has already been remade twice before - will see Lady Gaga teaming up with Bradley Cooper for the ultimate look at the real American dream - fame.

It was originally set to star Beyonce, with Clint Eastwood directing, but things have moved on and the studio can at least count on millions of Gaga's fans to ensure a box office win. That's a good thing, as Cooper also directing is something of an unknown quantity, but given the way he talks about his craft as an actor, you'd have to suspect that he'll make the transition well.

Lady Gaga meanwhile has already proven herself a capable actor, and this should give her an opportunity to really build on the early promise.

Release Date: October 5th
