‘A Star Is Born’ Writer Eric Roth Talks About Writing Film

Writer of “A Star Is Born” Eric Roth knew the film was going to be special from the start. According to SFGate, Roth said he thought about whether he wanted to do the film for a long time. He said he had never done a remake and he didn’t want to be the person to “wreck it.” But ultimately he saw it as a challenge and thought: “If we could accomplish this, it could be something unique.” Roth said he wanted to “stay true to the story but modernize it to fit into our current climate.”
