According to Variety, those of you looking forward to seeing Beyonce on the big screen again soon, will have to wait. The mega star who had been signed on to play the leading female role in the latest remake of A Star Is Born, directed by Clint Eastwood, has dropped out.
Sources said her schedule was already packed and that without a set start date the scheduling became too complicated for the singer. Production previously had to push due to Beyonce’s pregnancy and Eastwood took an acting gig on “Trouble With the Curve” during the hiatus.
Studio insiders said that with Knowles now off the project, there has been interest, at least from Eastwood’s end, in jazz musician Esperanza Spaulding. Sources emphasized, though, that until the male lead is locked, no discussions or offers will be out to the female lead.
