Is it really even a musical though? Seems like a movie set in the music industry that will involve some stage performances. I wouldn’t call that a musical. And I like Cooper. And I like Gaga’s music.

It's too bad there isn't another version or two of A Star is Born that we could watch and get a feel for how this one is probably going to play out.
