Director Clint Eastwood’s remake of A Star Is Born has hit yet another snag. Production was initially pushed back when star Beyonce Knowles became pregnant, and then Eastwood was having trouble casting his male lead. The director approached a number of top shelf talent including Leonardo DiCaprio,Tom Cruise, Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper, but failed to land a commitment. Now Eastwood has lost his female lead, as Knowles has dropped out of the project altogether due to scheduling issues. Hit the jump for more details including who Eastwood is eyeing for Knowles’ replacement. For those unfamiliar with A Star Is Born, the story concerns a movie star whose career is on the decline. He helps a young showgirl ascend to stardom but tensions grow between them as her star rises while he descends further into obscurity. The 1954 version starring Judy Garland andJames Mason picked up six Oscar nominations
