Bradley Cooper premiered the first trailer for his upcoming Lady Gaga-led directorial debut A Star is Born at CinemaCon this week, and according to reports the response was effusive -- some were even left in tears.

\u201cI mean, the trailer for "A Star is Born" just made me cry. Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours. #CinemaCon\u201d— Amy Kaufman (@Amy Kaufman) 1524617107
\u201cFirst trailer for A Star Is Born gave me chills. Lady Gaga\u2019s Hollywood moment is far from over. Music is phenomenal. #CinemaCon\u201d— Crystal Bell (@Crystal Bell) 1524617946
\u201cI don\u2019t make Oscar predictions based on a trailer, but the 1st trailer for A STAR IS BORN was compelling. Gaga looked/sounded great and Cooper totally has that Kris Kristofferson vibe from the 70s film. #cinemacon\u201d— Mike Avila (@Mike Avila) 1524617326
Before debuting the trailer, Cooper revealed that when he originally pursued Gaga for the lead role, she had one stipulation: that they both sing live. "She's kind of a revelation in this movie," Cooper said, according to Vulture. "When I approached her for it, she said, 'Well, we're going to sing live.' I said, 'You'll sing live because I don't sing.' And she said, 'No, no, what I can't stand in movies is when you see playback and that they're lip-syncing. We're going to sing live.' I knew we were going to have to do that, and luckily I had time and I had wonderful support."
The rest of us will just have to patiently wait for this world-altering trailer, and for the film to premiere in October -- just in time for awards season, how about that...
