  • Bradley Cooper Calls Hollywood Awards 'Utterly Meaningless'

    Despite receiving multiple prestigious awards, the ‘A Star Is Born’ actor is not really a fan of the Hollywood prize-giving events as he thinks they are unnecessary.
    Sep 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Multi-award winning actor Bradley Cooper has slammed Hollywood’s annual prizegiving as “utterly meaningless.”
    The star tells Interview Magazine, in a joint chat with his “A Star Is Born” co-star Anthony Ramos, that an artistic production of any kind is a truly a collaborative effort – insisting singling someone out from an artistic project like a film can make it difficult to stay grounded.
    Ramos, who also starred in Lin Manuel’s original production of “Hamilton”, both off-Broadway and on Broadway, set up the conversation by discussing what he believes to be the typical mindset after being nominated.
    “It’s about me. I’m the only one here from my cast, so it’s only me,” Ramos said, prompting the sarcastic response, “I must be special,” from Cooper.
    “That awards season stuff is a real test. It’s set up to foster that mentality. It’s quite a thing to work through, and it’s completely devoid of artistic creation,” he adds. “It’s not why you sacrifice everything to create art, and yet you spend so much time being a part of it if you’re, in quotes, ‘lucky enough to be a part of it.’ ”
    “It’s ultimately a great thing because it really does make you face ego, vanity, and insecurity. It’s very interesting and utterly meaningless.”
    Some of Cooper’s many award nominations includes eight Academy Award nods, eight BAFTAs, and six Golden Globes, resulting in one win – the BAFTA for Best Film Music, which he shared with co-star Lady Gaga.
    He also won two Grammys for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for the song “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born”.

    The ‘American Sniper’ actor is teaming up with the ‘Magnolia’ director in the next feature film which reportedly will be set in San Fernando Valley in the 1970s.
    Aug 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bradley Cooper is reportedly in talks to star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie.
    The duo, who have each been nominated for an Oscar on eight occasions without winning, are set to team up on a coming-of-age drama set in San Fernando Valley in the 1970s, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
    Plot details have largely been kept under wraps, but according to the publication, like Anderson’s 1999 epic “Magnolia”, it will feature multiple storylines, which this time will revolve around a child actor attending high school.
    The Valley is a popular setting for the “There Will Be Blood” filmmaker, with his movies “Boogie Nights”, “Magnolia”, and “Punch Drunk Love” all located there. Further details of Cooper’s potential role are unknown.
    The project was due to start shooting in spring or summer 2020 but has been delayed due to the Covid-19 shutdown – but producers are now eyeing an autumn start date should lockdown restrictions imposed during the pandemic allow.
    The “Silver Linings Playbook” star is currently in the middle of filming Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley”, which has been shut down due to the coronavirus crisis. He also has another directorial project – a biopic of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein that he will also star in.

    Bradley Cooper In Talks for Bee Gees Biopic

    WENN

    The ‘A Star Is Born’ actor is expected to portray one of the legendary Gibb brothers in the upcoming true-story movie revolving around the iconic British band.
    Feb 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bradley Cooper is reportedly in talks to play Bee Gees’ star Barry Gibb in a biopic about the British band.
    According to the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye, the Oscar-winning actor is having “informal discussions” with bosses about portraying the late singer and guitarist in a new movie (“Untitled Bee Gees Biopic”).
    Cooper has already shown off his vocal talents in “A Star Is Born”, which he starred in and directed, and would be required to sing if he took on the gig. However, Bamigboye added that the 45-year-old will “receive help” – presumably from a vocal coach – to reach the Bee Gees’ infamous high notes.
    The film, which doesn’t have a director as yet, is set to follow the Bee Gees – brothers Barry, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb – as they arrive back in London from Australia, after emigrating Down Under from their original home in the Isle of Man.
    It’s being written by Anthony McCarten, who has enjoyed massive success with films including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “The Theory of Everything”, and “The Two Popes”.
