Hollywood Spy has already mentioned how
Warner Bros. was planning a remake of the 1976 film "
A Star Is Born". The main star of the talks was
Beyonce who was and still very is interested to take the main role, but she will need a gentleman in the movie. According to "
The Los Angeles Times"
Russell Crowe has become the studio's top candidate to star in the remake. Although I really don't like Russell, I must admit I hate other two choices much more than him: apparently
Sean Penn and
Robert Downey Jr. were also considered for the role.
The story, which might be directed by
Nick Cassavettes, centers on a former music legend-turned-alcoholic, who begins to mentor a young female singer, who he then starts falling for. As you remember the stars of the 70's movie were Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
I don't remember that old version.
ReplyDeleteThis story sound so cliché.
I hope it will at least have some music (interesting to me). :)
The 70's movie is a cult movie as far as I know, it was often played over at our national television, Bels, back when we were just kids :))
ReplyDeleteYou don't like Russell Crowe... BLASPHEMY! This doesn't sound like a film he'd do anyway.
ReplyDeleteForgive me father Answer, for I have sinned :)) But I'm not gonna repent ;)
