Lady Gaga to Write Entire New Album of Songs for A STAR IS BORN Reboot?

As BWW previously reported, award-winning music superstar Lady Gaga has been set to star opposite four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper ("American Sniper," "American Hustle," "Silver Linings Playbook") in a remake of the iconic musical drama A STAR IS BORN. The film is also to be helmed by Cooper, who will be making his directorial debut.

Today, Showbiz411 Roger Friedman reports that Lady Gaga plans to write an entire new album of songs for the "A Star is Born" soundtrack. The Grammy winning artist just recently released a new album of all original songs titled "Joanne." The LP marked her last album that she's under contract for with Interscope Records.

Lady Gaga's role in "A Star is Born" will mark her first lead in a feature film.

"A Star is Born" is being produced by Billy Gerber and Jon Peters; together with Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips, under their Joint Effort Productions banner. Basil Iwanyk is serving as executive producer.
