Time Warner Eyes ‘Star is Born’ Redo with Bradley Cooper

Deadline: Warner Bros. is negotiating with its “American Sniper” star Bradley Cooper to make his feature directorial debut on the remake of “A Star Is Born.” The hope is for Cooper also to star in the film. Once his deal is done, their first stop will be to Beyonce, who once was positioned to play the role of the young woman whose dreams of stardom are helped by a self-destructive icon whose best days are behind him. Beyoncé hasn’t yet been re-approached formally.
