There’s no question that Clint Eastwood is one of the most respected and revered actor/directors in film history. The 82 year-old has certainly stayed busy in a career that has spanned six decades, and after starring in Trouble With the Curve earlier this year and another directorial project in the works, he is showing no signs of slowing down.

Eastwood’s latest project, A Star is Born, would actually become the fourth version of a story that was last remade in 1976; an incarnation that starred Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Even though the latest update has been in production for several years, as of this moment, the project has failed to land a male lead and has recently seen its female lead, Beyonce Knowles, drop out.

Knowles was originally cast for the leading role of an aspiring singer who falls for a fading star nearly two years ago, but her pregnancy last year d...production. Sources now tell Variety that a packed schedule and the fact that the film is still without a start date may have caused Knowles to abandon the project.

The film can add Knowles’ departure to a laundry list of setbacks that have currently plunged it into “Development Hell.” Eastwood has gone through many potential actors for the male lead, including Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Christian Bale, but no one has climbed on board. Even Tom Cruise was in ta...n the cast, but also dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

However, the A Star is Born does have a few thing going its way. Jon Peters (who produced the 76 version), Bill Gerber (Gran Torino) and Basil Iwanyk (The Town) are in as producers and Will Fetters (Remember Me) is writing the script that reportedly will feature a... character.

With Knowles out of the picture, the search is already on for a replacement. Eastwood has reportedly expressed interest in Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Esperanza Spaulding. However, no offer will be made to an actress for the female lead until an actor for the male lead is confirmed.

The latest name to crop up on that list is Bradley Cooper, who recently appeared in Silver Linings Playbook. But with Hangover 3 in production and a role in David O. Russell’s untitled project coming up, there may be too much on Cooper’s plate already.

Eastwood is obviously dedicated to the project and hasn’t given up yet, but for now it looks like it may be some time before production on A Star is Born gets up and running. As always, we will keep you posted on this project and its latest developments.

In the words of Sofia from The Color Purple,

THAT MOMENT RIGHT THERE IS WHEN I KNOW THAT DAY IZ A GOD, MISS CELIE, DEY IZ A GOD!!!

It would have sucked even more fake ass if she was still in it.

I heard that Clint signed an empty chair to play the lead role.

Goodbye and good riddance! Give someone else a chance, for crying out loud! She ain't no actress, she's a dancer.

I don't even think that the 1976 remake (starring Barbra Streisand) is any good.Kris Kristofferson's character was so annoying,I was actually applauding his death at the end

or maybe Beyoncé lost the respect she may have felt for Clint after he made an ass out of himself a couple of weeks ago...

The article said he's thinking of recruiting Esperanza for the role but who knows...

And I love how some of the comments are political.

I like her however...

I dont understand why it HAS to be a singer?

When Halle portrayed Dorothy Dandridge she didnt do the singing in the movie... another woman did I think her name was Wendi Williams. They can get anybody to do the singing parts.

Clint wants a serious actress who is also a singer than he should look at some broadway/theater actresses instead of just trying to recruit a mainstream/pop singer WHO CANT ACT FOR SHIT to draw in viewers.

The whole formula is old and is killing cinema. Nobody cares if their fav singer is going to be a movie get a REAL broadway actress to play the part to make it a halfway descent believable movie. I dont even understand why he is trying to remake the movie anyway.

It seems the older Clint gets the odder his behavior becomes similiar to Quincy

I hope not all older celebrities are like that... then again, who knows? The Esperanza thing sound like a RUMOR though. So take that with a grain of salt.

The orginal A Star Is Born didn't feature singers or any music at all. That changed when Judy Garland did a re-make of the first movie...

Maybe Sondra Locke is available.

Maybe Sondra Locke could give it the directional treatment she did Rat Boy.

Never seen this film before, but hasn't it been remade like 5 times?

What's the point?
