Six years separate the world from Beyonce’s last major movie role, and now- if Warner Bros get their way- the star will reclaim the role she’s said to have dropped in a rebooted version of ‘A Star is Born.’
Movie news below…
The ‘Second Nature’ singer was first approached to star in the movie while managed by her father Mathew Knowles, but is reported to have cut ties with the release after his departure from her management camp and after she learned she was pregnant with her daughter, Blue Ivy.
Now, Warner Bros is negotiating with ‘American Sniper‘ actor Bradley Cooper to make his directorial debut on ‘Born’ and are eager to lock him into a deal so they can approach Mrs. Carter, eager to see her follow in the footsteps of Barbra Streisand who starred in its second remake in 1976.
‘Born‘ tells the tale of a young woman eager to turn her Hollywood dreams into a reality with the help of a self-destructive musician whose career is beginning to decline.
It isn’t long before her rising star eclipses his own, lit up by Hollywood as his loses its shine before tragedy ensues.
Originally released in 1937, the original story saw Janet Gaynor play the role Beyonce had eyed when she is said to have asked Clint Eastwood to serve as her director before she learned she was pregnant in 2011.
Back then, Leonardo DiCaprio had been sought after to star in it alongside her, but may now see the opportunity given to Cooper who is currently working on its latest draft with the writer Will Fetters.
Deadline reports that Carter is yet to receive a formal invitation to join Cooper-led project but is aware that ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ actor Will Smith has also been linked to the motion picture.
Fans of the ‘The Cards Never Lie‘ singer will know that she has already followed in Streisand’s footsteps, winking at her reported ties to ‘Born’ when she performed ‘The Way We Were’ in honour of the singer/actress at the 2008 Kennedy Centre Honors.
Check her out below…
Lmao i’d like to see her try and read her script
she will handle it same way she did her first few scripts
Dry and dead?
was gonna defend her but damn that was funny…
might aswell give it to #blonderihanna, can bey still play YOUNG?
Also really want her to give up singer roles and go for something new, she could play a lesbian serial killer….
Lmao she’s gonna flop like she did in obsessed
But didn’t you hack that account? Fall back! It’s damn sad how people are so low life that they need to troll as others
What are you talking about? The obsession with me is real! Kiiiiii
Obsession with you? Laughable. That guy who’s account you’re trolling from was a bit crazy but never as delusional as you are. I see you un-linked his twitter account? Scared he’ll find out or people will clock you?
I delinked MY account because of the obsessed people like you? Who are you even? Blue ivy? I stand for no talent?
.
Nobody will take you seriously, especially when you stan for a flop like that b**** un your AVI. Everyone knows Lana is the alternative queen
.
You are reaching!!!!!
While I exit, please take your seat -> _/
She’s a horrific actress and an insult to real actresses
Beyonces acting is like those white trash people on jerry springer
You’re too extra. I can’t wait for you to be exposed
@yelyah then quit talking and expose, bîtch, because you’re coming off as the fraud now.
AND CI-MANRA IS A TRANSVESTITE, AND IS AN INSULT TO ALL REAL WOMEN WITHOUT DICKKS..
Ciara is disgusting. Sorry excuse for a man
Let’s not forget mama I wanna sing… She couldn’t even book a major motion picture, don’t do bey when he-ara is the top flop her and Keri hilson are running a race for the top flop spot
i still dont get how obsessed turned out sooooooo…ooooooooooooo bad, it had idris and ali larter in it
But it made a lot of money and Bey got paid paid like a mother f*****..KEEP SEETHING FOOL!!!
and yet it was still a bad movie
If you think it was a bad movie, how the f*** was it Beyonce’s fault…she did not direct the movie. By the way RIHJECT 2012 FILM BATTLESHIP WAS ALSO TERRIBLE AS F*** THO!!!
All you care is about money (which it didn’t make a lot of) over talent and that’s why the girls keep dragging you here. Your commentary is a laughing matter, and I’m amused.
the whole time she is on screen you could literally hear thinking ‘im acting, im acting…im acting sad….im acting confused…im acting happy…’
she should get out her own head and let it flow.
You are such a hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!your miserable life is limited to hating on a damn blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really? I hardly said anything getting negative, quit tripping. Being all up in your feelings because someone dont worship bey like you do
No I’m not saying you should lick Bey asshole…But you really do come off as a hater. It’s not just this post, in other post u tend to seethe at everything Bey does…#FACTSON;Y
Yet, you are always trolling behind a “hater” who doesn’t say Beyawnce is perfect; therefore, your miserable is only spent on replying to people who don’t worship Beyawnce when they realize it”s an unpaid, dumbed-down and embarrassing hobby.
She may be a stage performer but it looks like she can only chanel that demon Sacha fierce and the ghost of thots past.
Then again, how can she live and experience things while being the camels s****?
The ghosts of thots past???? Shut up!!! My stomach is hurting from laughter. I gotta Beyonce that and use that as my own original vernacular and claim that I conceived that.
This coming from a Rihanna supporter? Lol. The jokes write themselves.
Yas Mommy take this on and slay them dead! Always knocking Bey’s acting chops need I remind her role in Dreamgirls was Golden Globe nominated #stay #mad
The haters A.K.A @blue are already seething…LOL
Yaaaas I’m so here for this!! I’ve been waiting for her to get back into acting. More golden globe nominations and possibly oscar buzz!!! A true multi-talented artist! #BigLeagueShit 😀
Razzie of the Decade for Worst Actress, here she comes!!!
No hun. Rihanna already owns that one. 😉
It will slay and do better than homeless at the box office
you could help yourself could you? Lets keep the focus on bey please, dont you get tired of this endless stan wars? Like let a post pass by
remakes hardly ever live up to the original nor do they make waves during award season… Which is why i rather she did something completely out there, it will better her chances of actually developing the craft and making a real name for herself in those circles
Oh my this will be laughable
She’s a horrible actress, everything isn’t for everybody someone needs to tell her
Let’s see, Keri- no musical career, no film career, no fans and now Timbo abandoned her for that new chick. It must not be fun being big bird, constantly hiding from the public and all. Maybe Nicki should do some charity work as 2015 resolution and feature birdie in a new song or something.
Kiii but Nicki cant even sell 300k outside the US the only thing she can do is get a few decent successful singles
Keri doesn’t need her for that she has multiple successful certified singles
Worry about the flop print and its struggling tour , didn’t her stop in sweden have a 47% sell rate b**** bye
Yassss motha
Rihanna fans calling someone a horrible actresses lmaooo I’m in tears
please rihanna was okay in battleship, most reviewed that penned the movie actually complimented her debut performance, but she was limited to punch lines, and one liners the whole movie
Rihanna was lame in battleship no spirit in her interpretation.. her character was empty
But you expect the BeyHIVe to read and comprehend reviews???
it will flop like most of her movies
None of her movies flopped
LOL CADILLAC RECORDS? LMAO
who cares?
she is such a terrible actor I hope this movie flops like her fat ass
I dont know if this is a good idea. I mean her best role to date is as Etta James in Cadillac Records she DID THAT.also her Diana Ross mannerisms during some parts of DreamGirls were DEAD ON! Especially at the debut scene in the white dresses.if she takes this role which I thought she turned it down due to the pregnancy and album a few years ago also Clint Eastwoods crazy Obama Comments? And that he had selected Esperanza Spalding to replace her.
And Bradley Cooper???How about Will Smith or Hugh Jackman or Mathew Mccono?
Beyonce I love you and maybe you will surprise me but i for one am going to be very nitpicky with this project.You are considered THE BEST of the current generation the way Judy Garland and Barbara were before you so please do this role JUSTICE.
They should ask Christina Aguilera to play that role.. she is better at acting and singing that this beyonce girl
Not really hun.i mean did you see burlesque???
@let’s be real
Well, I did and critics said she did a good job but the material she was given sucked. They said that she was more believable as her character than that of Mariah and Britney; saying she’s like Nicole Kidman compared to them. However, we will really see how good Christina is when she appears on Nashville.
yaaaawwwwwnnnn it will flop flop flop flop flop flop flop
Sis, not when you have Brain-deadNey as your name. When is she recovering? 2050?
Cadillac records failed to make a profit this movie will suffer the same fate lol
Not Rihanna fans coming for an Golden Globe nominated actress! When Rihanna won a Razzie for her first cameo. 😀 Stay in your lanes girls! I don’t believe Home (and her horrible voice over acting), is eligible for Golden Globes! Kii Forehead has to build her resume up first! 😉
Baby is madonna and her have make it at the globe my girl can make it too..’
Who is Your “girl” and what makes you think that’s possible?
Read. That. Høe!!!
Baby… beyonce looks 40year old … Rihanna has a more beautiful voice that you h**. By the way my girl she is a thief
Lmaoooo B**** get the f*** out of my reply box with your delusions and put that pipe dooowwwn! I’m Done!!!!!!!
The golden globe she got was to save face because J. Hudson was given. It would have been an embarrassment for J. Hudson to get nominated and not the real super star which was Beyonce. Beyonce’s acting is worse than Rihanna, shes been doing videos way and acting way before Rihanna was even thought of, so of course she got a golden globe nomination…..it would have been a tragedy if she did not and Rihanna was able to get one before she did! A razzie award is NOT the end of the world when many and countless Oscar winners has them too! Rihanna actually has acting potential, Beyonce??!!??!…….NOT!!!
She’s a great singer just becuz she right handled a Barbra song… hope she pkay well cuz she’s not a very strong actress . She does not grap attention when shebisbin movies like on a scene . But wish her an oscar
A few hours ago I had the Z squad and that one octave fan stalking my twitter. I had to do what I had to do
This remake will be critically panned onsite.
which is why i said she was limited to one liners… None of the characters in that movie were truly developed. You got more about her character from her promotional interviews than from the movie
This Will Be Another Box Office Hit, and The Queen’s Name Will Draw In The Coins!!!!! Yaaaas
.
Do you Bey, i ain’t mad.
I hope Beyoncé doesn’t do this role. I’m sure if she did it she would a great job and it would bank, but I’m not a fan of the script for the original movie.
You guys really do not fact check a thing huh?
Bradley Cooper was offered the lead role years ago and has stated in the past he is NOT interested in starring in this film bc he feels it’s been done to many times Already. Do some research Sam or whoever your team is before stating nonsense.
Not here for Beyonce the actress outside of what she does in her onstage character…give the role to an actual actress that needs a break as they can lip-sync the voice. In fact, have the actual actress lip-sync to Beyonce’s vocals if she MUST be involved. Damn Hollywood studios, can’t see past the money….
The only reason Beyonce could ever be cast in a movie is because of her name, it’s able to pull in a high number of people.
She has been extremely awful in all her movies. She was forgettable in Goldmember, she was boring in Fighting temptations, she was bad in Pink Panther, She was worse than a mannequin in dreamgirls, she was terrible in Cadillac records, and obsessed is just bad as the film let alone the “acting” in it.
Essentially what it all boils down to is money. Other than that, Beyonce is as bad at acting as Meryl Streep is good at it.
Beyonce fans need to stop acting like her previous movies made money because of her. They did not. They made money because they were either a) already proven box office franchises, and b) already filled with successful A list actors that were proven box office draws. The one movie she did do that wasn’t already surrounded with box office attractions failed miserably on ‘Glitter’ levels. This woman cannot act a lick (even worse than Madonna) which is why this movie didn’t happen the first time.
Machete flops
Agreed. Austin Powers was already a successful franchise before Goldmember, same goes for Pink Pather. Fighting temptations, the Etta James movie, and obsessed were even that great of box office hits.
Goldmember, dreamgirls, and pink panther were fantastic movies but definitely not because of Beyonce’s inclusion in them.
But does Bet Possess the lively-ness Barbra had …. Her performance was ok but very Beyonce sometimes she has to remove herself from equation and that is truly when her star will be born
This is why she will never be taken seriously as an actress. She’s always playing singers in her films (Carmen, Austin Powers, Fighting Temptations, Dream girls, Caddilac Records). Its not really acting if you’re being yourself….
It’s call playing it safe. Musicals and or corky comedies. That don’t take a superb actor. Carmen was her best piece of work. The acting wasn’t as deplorable. Anywho
Carmen? You clearly don’t know anything about acting. Her best acting was in Cadillac records and then Dreamgirls.
Good luck to her! This is real movie breakouts. Not just animations and small cameos.
Oh my. She is a terrible actor. Didn’t she loose a easier for obsessed. My mother was watching it thee other night and blurted out beyonce can’t act. This is a mild role or achievement for her. Giving straight to dvd Cadillac record tease.
Razzie*
I know you’re not talking with that avi when your fave actually WON a razzie for a 5 line cameo.
Her 5 line was in “Bring it On” and it was just a cameo appearance darlibg!!!
Have never seen the film, but it sounds so cliche… Im interested in its production though. And they should stick with Leonardo DiCaprio, Hes the bigger male lead, and will make the film huge. Bradley does nothing for me.
–
And sidenote. When will they STOP snubbing Leo at the Oscars, So sick of their shitt!
Why are Rihanna fans talking? Have they not seen their faves acting resume. Its minuscule AND appauling. Do you Bey!
She is just getting started tho!!! My fave giving Bond girl tease. While your fave giving 5th grade dropout realness… She has to be read her lines….lls
By my fave was getting much bigger lead roles by her age. She wasn’t just making cameos.
What acting resume????? Rihanna just started acting, she did not have acting experiences, Beyonce on the other hand had plenty! And thats the problem, Beyonce should be able to prove that in her acting already, still she has yet to!
B*******!
How tf do u win a Razzie for cameo appearance??? Lmao.
Rihanna hasn’t been in a film for over FourFiveSeconds and her acting was still horrid. So sit tf down.
@Tyler, clearly you have a problem with comprehension! Who said she won a razzie for her cameo, huh??? Learn to READ & COMPREHEND idiot! Her acting is horrid and yet shes still getting roles with minimal experiences???? Have a lifetime of seats with no parole darling!
I said that Rihanna was awarded a Grammy for a cameo appearance fool. Reading is fundamental…try it! Evidently her acting is horrid given the fact that she was only capable of nabbing a 5 minute time slot on Bring it on as a judge and a 2 second time slot in Annie over the past TEN YEARS.
Dreamgirls 2 Gonna ruin a classic! Wtf please have a seat!
This would be amazing! Everything Bey commits herself to she does an amazing job with! I believe Beyonce could really surprise people with this one. I hope seeing her star in this film becomes a reality!
What!????! She on some whatever I can take at this moment. Do you all even know who Barbara Streisand is? This is lame……
