Why is this even coming up and why did it need a thread?

"A Star Is Born" was hit and seeing Bradley Cooper singing is now accepted by the public. He is however 100% wrong for the role~! That is why I started this thread.

OK, we'll let them know, but they are NOT going to be happy about this.

A grizzled, gravelly-sounding Joe Gillis?
Hugh Jackman just did a "why didn't I think of that?" facepalm.

Aside from her questionable acting capabilities, Madonna is just about the right age for this role now and would look great in all that garb. Cooper is not such a bad idea, imo.

Madonna would be perfect. After the final dramatic scene with Joe, she strips off her frumpy dress to reveal the cone bra, shouts "Hey MTV, I'm ready for my new video" and starts singing "Vogue" as the police lead her away. "Express Yourself" would also work, I think.

With her "acting" skills and limited vocal range? I know some think Close isn't much better, but at least Close is an actress. I'm a huge ass Madonna fan, but I don't want another reason for Patti Lupone to call Madonna a "movie killer" again.

This film totally does not need to be made. The musical is so-so. Close's singing at this point in her life is less than so-so. Nothing will ever compare with the Billy Wilder film. People who loved seeing Glenn Close onstage can keep their memories. Seriously.

You may indeed be on to something. Update storyline to the late 90s, and faded former MTV video star, Norma Desmond.... genius!

I'm sure glad you settled that for everyone. Seriously.
