Los Angeles: Riding high on her acting skills in her debut TV
series American Horror Story’s fifth
season — Hotel, American singer,
songwriter and actor Lady Gaga is in talks to appear the new A
Star Is Born movie reboot.
The singer, who recently won a Golden Globe for her work on American Horror Story: Hotel, is said to
be nearing a deal to take on the lead role initially offered to Beyonce in a
remake of A Star is Born. Gaga
screen-tested successfully, and is director Bradley Cooper’s first choice for
the project.
The film would see Gaga take on a part played by Janet
Gaynor, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand over the years: an aspiring young
actor on the cusp of fame. Cooper would also star in the film as the troubled,
alcoholic movie star who helps her achieve her dreams.
Cooper’s remake, which marks his directorial debut, was to
have initially been filmed by his American Sniper director, Clint Eastwood,
with Beyonce in the lead. Eastwood left the project in 2011 to make Jersey Boys.
Before appearing in American Horror Story, Gaga had small
appearance in Sin City, A Dame To Kill
For, Machete Kills and Muppets Most
Wanted. It was announced at the Cannes film festival in May that she
was to play Cilla Black in a biography of singer Dionne Warwick, but Gaga
subsequently denied her involvement.
She is next slated to return to American Horror Story for its sixth season.
