A Star Is Born
September 25, 2009

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Brothers has hired up-and-coming screenwriter Will Fetters to do a draft on the script based on the 1970s flick.
The original starred Barbra Streisand as Esther Hoffman, a rising starlet who becomes romantically involved with a well-known male star. He shows Esther the way to stardom while forsaking his own career. As they fall in love, her success only makes his decline even more apparent.
THR says that Beyonce’s name has “surfaced in connection with the lead role” but she is “not officially involved at this point.”
We love this story, and Beyonce would be great in this role!

Beyonce’s latest role will be in the upcoming film remake A Star Is Born. This will be the fourth time this film has been made: first in 1937, starring Janet Gaynor; then in 1954 with Judy Garland, and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand.
Beyonce will play a young, up-and-coming songstress who falls for a has-been rock star, whose best days are definitely behind him. As they fall in love, her success grows, as his popularity continues to dwindle.
Sounds so sad! We’re positive Beyonce can pull this off! We’re hoping she’ll have lots of scenes where she can show off her tremendous vocals as well.
UPDATE: No star will be born on Beyonce's watch. Her rep was quick to squash the rumors and called the story "completely false," adding that "There was no offer."
