Hold onto your butts, Gaga fans, as the trailer for Mother Monster’s first feature film has been released.
A Star Is Born features Bradley Cooper — who is also directing his first feature film — as an aging, alcoholic musician who helps a young singer (Lady Gaga, of course) find fame with her music.
It’s based on the 1937 original, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, which was subsequently remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason, and again — and, perhaps, most famously — in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
In addition to LGBTQ icon Gaga, the film also stars RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Willam Belli and Shangela.
Shangela revealed earlier this year that she will play the owner of the bar where Gaga’s character works.
“I play a drag bar owner at a bar in which Lady Gaga is also involved,” she told Metro Weekly. “I think that’s all I can say, but this one, it’s gonna be so cool.”
Watch the trailer below:

Everybody just wants Ridley Scott to get on with it.
By that, of course, I mean wrap up the damn Alien trilogy he started with Prometheus and left dangling -- quite unnervingly -- nearly a decade ago with Covenant. But Ridley is a stubborn old director, and he's going to make what he feels like making, even if he teases us sadistically with promises of "Maybe it'll be my next film -- I'm developing it."
Kodak film from 1966 develops faster.
I am one of those people -- a fan, if I'm being honest -- who really, really, really want to see how David's story resolves and how the Xenomorph actually comes into being, if that's even the point anymore. So you'll pardon me for going into Scott's latest film, The Dog Stars, with a critic's chip on my shoulder. I didn't expect to be thrilled, interested, or moved. I didn't expect to like it, even slightly.

Alejandro Iñárritu's rambling satire Digger is a woolly mess of a film, though admirable in its ambition. Few modern movies aiming to reheat Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove recipe of doomsday dread, political satire, and broad absurdist comedy come as close to the Kubrickian ideal as Digger does in fits and starts.
Digger likewise plants us beside the President of the United States (John Goodman) and members of his cabinet cartoonishly fighting in the war room over what to do to avert an imminent disaster. Here, the threat's not an atomic bomb, but rather an American-made climate catastrophe that could wipe out thousands, maybe millions of lives.

Dolly Parton, the beloved singer-songwriter, actress, and longtime LGBTQ ally, has died at age 80.
Parton's nephew, Brian Seaver, announced her death in a video posted to her Instagram account.
"My name is Brian Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I'm representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next," Seaver said in the video.
"This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven't truly felt it 'til now," Seaver continued.
