First reports are that there are at least FIFTEEN cover songs in this and what will likely be 1-2 originals. One is said to be “That’s Entertainment” from the 1953 musical “The Band Wagon,” famously associated with Judy Garland.
Will be jukebox musicals like Moulin Rouge and Mamma Mia. The budget of the first was $60M. This film's budget is $200M.
If they pull it off it's going to be epic. Seems like a brand new film from the original though with such a different tone.
Best song, sound, actress, actor, picture, director, screenplay, music (score), visual effects, costume, cinematography, editing, makeup/hair, production design seem like they could get some nods and possibly some supporting nods too. Feels like it could possibly break Titanic's nomination record if its good.
If they make her sing nearly 15+ songs in a single movie seems Gaga is going to be a big contender for best actress next year.
The hype OW will be huge but how will moviegoers react not just to a semi musical but a 15+ song musical is another question. I think the virality will be there any I can't rationalize WB more than tripling the budget on this unless they were super confident in the direction it was going in.
