The fourth version of the musical A Star is Born features Bradley Cooper as an artist who discovers a bright, young talent played by Lady Gaga and falls in love with her.

The re-make scheduled for release Oct. 5 marks Cooper's directorial debut. He also co-wrote and produced the movie, which co-stars Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle and Sam Elliott.
