Oh, come on... Whitney would be perfection. Except, instead of alcohol, she would light doobs throughout the film and Usher, as Eduardo Blodgett, could grin through the pain all the live long day.

Is this the musical version?

"And no... we don't need a FIFTH version of this story on screen again. Four is enough..."

I keep seeing people say "we". You and I may be familiar with all the different versions, best, but most people are not, and unfortunately probably wouldn't be (well, okay, not unfortunately with the Streisand version). To me, A Star is Born is the kind of story that I don't have a problem with being redone if it's made in a different way with a different cast (and probably with some pretty exciting musical numbers).

It's a dilemma. On the one hand, if a new one is made, it's for sure that the new generation won't bother with the earlier versions.

On the other hand, would they anyway?

It possibly could make them more interested in the older versions. It seems like Psycho was rented out a lot more around where I live after the (terrible) remake came out.

"Personally, Constance Bennett's version is my favorite."

JustMe2 wins for referencing "What Price Hollywood?"

MrMidwest --- I suppose so. How many times have "we" seen the Cinderella story retold?

And PJ, why do you think I counted FOUR previous incarnations?

About ten years ago, Andrew Lloyd Webber was talking about doing a stage version based on the Garland film, with Cy Coleman writing additional songs to go with the Arlen-Gershwin tunes. He obviously dropped the idea.

best12bars gets honorable mention and Miss Congeniality but JustMe2 still wins because he mentioned the name of the divine Constance Bennett.

It seems to be a "tale as old as time" so to speak, but I'd other see the 1954 version on Broadway rather then another movie remake.

I've seen all the movies, and Judy's still remains my favorite (and my favorite movie of all time).

I'm sorry, but it does not get any better then the "Born In A Trunk " medley.

re: Potential 'A Star is Born' remake

I propose we have a new version, produced by bww.

"A Porn Star is Born"

I'll play the aging star who noone wants anymore.

Instead of the Born in the Trunk sequence, it will be Junk in the Trunk.

re: Potential 'A Star is Born' remake

When I was much younger, there was lot I didn't know about before an older friend introduced me to the classics. I will always be greatful to him for inviting me to watch some classic films with him and a bunch of friends, because it introduced me to a whole new world of performing techniques, writers, actors, directors - hell, you name it. That is one reason I don't think that a film should be remade when it has already been done excellently at least once. How can you improve upon perfection?
Sure, many of the younger set would be more eager to watch it if it starred some addle-brained current pop star, but they'd be missing out on something truly wonderful.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I guess I just don't look at it in the same way, tinny. I think the Garland film is incredible, but I wouldn't mind seeing some new actors takes on the material. If Dreamgirls being a success does infact somehow get this project back on track, hopefullly they'd be smart enough to choose an intuitive director like Condon to make it special. As far as the younger generation getting into the older versions, well, if you find someone you can try to get into it then great, but otherwise, oh well, it's their loss. I do think a remake would probably re-new interest in the earlier versions to a certain extent.
