** Jackson's suicide was originally going to be by swimming out into the ocean to drown, as in the [[Film/AStarIsBorn1937 1937]] and [[Film/AStarIsBorn1954 1954]] versions. This is foreshadowed here both by his interest in swimming while in rehab and the lyrics of the song "Shallow". Cooper claimed that he even scouted the beach where the scene would be filmed. However, just before they were to go to location Cooper had a vision of Jackson's suicide in the garage and decided to film that version instead.

Added DiffLines:

* DisownedAdaptation: Creator/BarbraStreisand, star of [[Film/AStarIsBorn1976 the previous version]], [[https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/barbra-streisand-lady-gaga-bradley-cooper-a-star-is-born-wrong-idea-9615415/ complained that it was too similar to her movie]], while saying she'd have preferred the version that didn't pan out with Music/{{Beyonce}} because it would at least feature a different musical style.


Added DiffLines:

** Creator/ClintEastwood was the original director, and Music/{{Beyonce}} would star, but her pregnancy threw a wrench on this idea.
