Clint Eastwood's long in the works remake of A Star Is Born has had trouble landing itself a male lead but at least, or so they thought, they had the female lead in place with Beyonce Knowles handling the part last played by Barbra Streisand. But not any more.
With casting dragging on and the schedule becoming something of a moving target as a result, Variety has broken word that Knowles has dropped off the project, meaning Eastwood now has to start from scratch on the casting front once again. Word is that no offers will go out to a female lead now until the male lead is cast.
