Clint Eastwood will direct the long-gestating remake of A Star Is Born for Warner Bros.
Eastwood will also produce along with Bill Gerber and Jon Peters.
Warners has long been trying remake the movie, with Eastwood's due to be the fourth incarnation. This latest one has had director Joel Schumacher and Nick Cassavetes among those hopping on and off the helmer's chair while Will Smith and Russell Crowe have orbited leading roles.
The allure of the dramatic story of a young artist who marries a fading star, with her career flourished while his fades cannot be denied. Will Fetters wrote the current draft, which spins the scenario into the music world. This time it's a young singer who falls for an older rock star.
This new incarnation is being developed as a starring vehicle for Beyonce and Warners has for some time been trying to find the male lead.
Eastwood is in pre-production on J. Edgar, his biopic on controversial F.B.I. head J. Edgar Hoover. The production is amassing its cast and so far includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Josh Lucas and Judi Dench. It is due to start shooting this spring.

You mean to tell me that one of the greatest actors and directors in film history wants BEYONCE in his films. A man that win Oscars almost every other year. Works with Morgan Freeman, Hilliary Swank, etc. wants BEYONCE? Beyonce? Beyonce? The lady people on here swore up and down that she can't act. But Clint Eastwood want her?
OMG!!! Get the fuck outta here!! And he agreed to direct this non-acting person!! STFU!! Holy shit!!! Got damn!!

This should be intersting. I think she will do fine in this movie. Clint Eastwood is a PHENOMENAL director. I was hoping they would make Hugh Jackman her leading man, because they seem to have great chemistry together. If not Hugh then I could see Will Smith doing it. Hopefully they can make it happen, and do it justice, because Babs is a tough lead to follow. I wish the crew well.

They have been after her for since 2009 to do this film. She turned it down initially because of touring too, so it's good to see she can fit it in to her schedule.

I remember when Baz Luhrmann wanted to write a new musical for Beyonce and Hugh Jackman as leads, I would much prefer that than a remake of A Star Is Born. The bar has been set really high but maybe she will do fine.
