Cape Town – After a failure to launch the A Star is Born remake is finally underway.
Lady Gaga will star alongside Bradley Cooper in the musical drama.
The pop star posted a first look picture of their characters on Instagram.
Alongside the photo she wrote: "I am so excited to star in my first movie alongside someone I'm so lucky to call my friend. I always wanted to be an actress on the big screen. The story of "A Star is Born" is so special and I'm so grateful to Bradley for making my dream come true. Can't wait for you to meet Ally. She has her first scene in 5."
The film centres on a fading movie star (Cooper) who helps an aspiring star (Gaga) find her feet in the world of fame whilst his own career spirals downwards.
This will also be Cooper's directorial debut.
After a number of failed attempts by Clint Eastwood to revive the script over the past few years the remake of the musical drama - which was previously made for screens in 1937, 1954, and 1976 - has been slated for a September 2018 release.
