Due to singer/actor Beyoncé’s newly revealed pregnancy, her lead role in “A Star Is Born” is reportedly about to be put on hold until after she drops the new Baby Carter.
Reportedly, Warner Brothers wanted to begin filming Clint Eastwood’s new remake of “A Star Is Born” in February 2012. Beyonce would either be in her last days of pregnancy or had just given birth around that time. So the studio is likely pushing back the production date. Plus, they still need to find a leading man since Eastwood’s first choice, Leonardo DiCaprio, has turned down the role.
Will Smith and Christian Bale have also been considered for the male lead.
The movie has been in pre-production for years and Beyoncé seems to be the leading woman they’re intent on keeping – no matter what. At least they didn’t drop her like the studio dropped singer/actor Hilary Duff from the “Bonnie & Clyde” remake once she announced her pregnancy.
