Please No Bradley Cooper or Gaga in Sunset Blvd

[Stanton3]

I have not read anything about casting HOWEVER I hope Bradley or Gaga are NOT CAST

Glenn Close is already playing Norma Desmond, but the thought of Cooper as Joe Gillis sound interesting

[Luminaire2]

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

[Stanton3]

"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.

I've been wondering who you didn't want cast in this specific movie. The waiting is finally over.

[dramamama611]

So you brought up something that: a - isnt happening and b - isnt even rumored to be happening.

[TheGingerBreadMan]

Not a single person is suggesting that they should be cast.

Next.

Neither Cooper nor Gaga, both peaking in their careers, are probably looking to be involved in supporting roles of a low-budget semi-professional adaptation of a c-grade musical.

That you thought of this, unprovoked, probably means that subconsciously you DO want them to be cast in this.

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

While we’re at it, no Jennifer Lawrence, Jack Nicholson, Reginald VelJohnson, Zooey Dechanel, Paula Poundstone or Steven Segal! Keep them far away, too!

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.

[ScottyDoesn'tKnow2]

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.
