July 2002: Will Smith wants to do a Star Is Born, he tells TV Guide, and he’s found the director to help him make it happen. Vulture has taken a deep dive into the archives to track every Star Is Born pairing we almost got - along with the developments that derailed each one. A Star Is Born might be Hollywood’s favorite myth, but looking back at the musical chairs of its almost stars and directors is completely fascinating in and of itself. But this latest remake has been a long time coming, with a handful of directors and stars dropping in and out of the project from as early as 2002. The Bradley Cooper–Lady Gaga drama follows the beats of the three previous iterations: A rising singer begins a romance with an alcoholic on his way to has-been status. They all eventually leave Dug, with Alpha calling him a bad dog.With raves from Toronto and Venice, A Star Is Born’s star is already crowning. When Alpha gives Dug "special missions", Beta and Gamma show support, but get hurt along the way and almost killed. Presumably, Beta and Gamma become the pets of residents at the Shady Oaks Retirement Village after Dug became the new "Alpha" of the dog pack.īeta, Gamma, and Alpha are tripped by Dug, causing them to lose Kevin. They howl with approval after Carl awards Russell the grape soda badge from his deceased wife Ellie. Planes continue to attack, but he manages to stop the planes by calling out that he sees a squirrel-this distracts Beta, Gamma, and another dog, causing them to collide all of their planes, though the dogs parachute to safety as Gamma declares his hatred of squirrels.īeta and Gamma are last seen among the other dogs at Russell's ceremony. Encouraged, he manages to climb to the porch of the house. Outside, Russell sees Carl and Kevin in trouble. Beta and Gamma are briefly seen playing poker on a card table in Muntz's Spirit of Adventure airship.īeta and Gamma are later seen piloting biplanes. Muntz tracks them on Dug's collar and captures Kevin. Beta, Gamma, and the pack immediately give chase after understanding why they suddenly left, but fail to catch them.Īfter returning to the dirigible, Beta and Gamma explain to Muntz that Dug was with the the trio and helped them escape. Carl hastily rushes Dug and Russell outside.
Carl soon realizes what is happening-Muntz is searching for Kevin. Inside the dirigible, numerous photos, drawings and pieces of information on Kevin (the bird) can be seen. After some conflict, they take the trio of misfits to their master, who turns out to be an elderly Charles Muntz, Carl's childhood idol. They were sent on a mission to find a giant bird and bring it to their master, although Dug was initially assigned this task because he was a disgrace to the pack and they wanted him gone.īeta and Gamma later encounter Carl Fredricksen, Russell, and Dug. Like their boss, they both wear translation collars that enable them to talk.
Beta is a Rottweiler and Gamma is a Bulldog.
