A Star is Born remake in the works
September 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Apparently, my answer to “Will they ever stop remaking old movies that were great to begin with?” is “No.” Now a remake of “A Star is Born” is in the works from Warner Bros. I guess it’s one of those evergreen stories that can be done each era.
Three previous incarnations starred Janet Gaynor (1937), Judy Garland (1954), and Barbra Streisand (1976) as a young, up-and-coming songstress who falls in love with an established male entertainer / rock star, only to see their careers move in different directions.
Beyonce’s name has come up as a lead in the new movie, and I think she’d be great in the role. She’s already played a similar character in “Dreamgirls,” plus her voice is beyond amazing.
Ok, I take back my previous statement about the remakes, because “A Star is Born” would be perfect for this day and age, when the paparazzi and celebrity business is booming.
