“It’s a big swing this movie,” said Cooper, saying how he always wanted to do a love story and the best way to express that is through music.

“We jumped on stage in front of real crowds,” said Cooper.

Lady Gaga did not make an appearance at the studio’s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas.

In the new movie, Cooper plays Jackson Maine, a country music star on the brink of decline when he discovers a talented unknown named Ally (Gaga). As the two begin a passionate love affair, Jack coaxes Ally into the spotlight, catapulting her to stardom. But as Ally’s career quickly eclipses his own, Jack finds it increasingly hard to handle his fading glory.

It’s a poignant, honest trailer about songwriters and singers, and their struggles. Cooper croons country, and Gaga’s mellifluous voice kicks in three-quarters into the trailer with a big “Aaahhh”. She brings a piece of herself to the role. Cooper’s character performing in what looks like a jazz burlesque club. Talking with her character at the bar, he asks her if she writes songs. “I don’t know my songs, I don’t feel comfortable…they remember the way I sounded, not the way I looked.”
