Here’s one we’re hoping will be: word on the street is that Beyoncé is set to star in a new movie by Bradley Cooper, possibly a (fourth) remake of A Star Is Born, according to a source who confirmed the joint project with Page 6.
Since her film debut as the lead in Carmen: A Hip Hopera in 2001, Ms. Knowles has added many leads under her belt, including Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Fighting Temptations, Dreamgirls, and of course every sassy woman’s favorite, Obsessed.
An article from Us Weekly added fuel to the rumor fire, intimating that Bey has been “taking classes in New York and L.A. for the past year [to] land leading roles in movies.” Sorry ladies, not another Dreamgirls-type movie, either. “Bey’s looking for an iconic dramatic role…a film that’s socially relevant to African-American rights,” added an insider, who also notified sources that Beyonce had, in fact, turned down a role in NBC’s The Wiz Live! (that we so fabulously covered). Hmm…what role do you think she would have played?
Cooper has told E! News that the sources and joint-project are just rumors, although he’d love to work with Queen Bey. Is it really a rumor or simply on the hush-hush until things become solidified?
In the meantime, we can sit back and patiently wait to see how those acting lessons pay off for Mrs. Carter and the roles to surely come.
