We may still get it. If she wrote songs with Diane Warren for the movie and she left, more than likely the songs won't be in it. So it's quite possible that if any fit, Beyonce may use them for her next album. At least she was thinking about the role and getting a concept going - a strategy that worked well for B'Day.

Lose "A Star Is Born" ...... Get a full year of Beyonce? Sounds fine to me.
So this pretty much confirms we won't be getting the album in the 3rd/4th Quarter of 2013.
But at any rate, she has been free for so long Clint had his chance. Makes me wonder if she took off all this time cause she was waiting on that movie to get moving.
As long as some lesser chick doesn't replace her I will be fine. I would rather this movie not even get lifted off the ground. If Beyonce is not in it.

Although we all saw this coming, The Stan in me would hate to see some other chick get the role then win Academy,Grammy,Golden Globe,SAG awards. I would be pissed and probably resent Bey for it. Clint, please just drop the entire movie. You practically have no cast.

My feelings are the same
She better make 2013 worth it cause if we get some bland promo like 4 I will not be here for it. BUt this also excites me., I mean she must really have some big stuff coming up that she can't fit him in.,

t wasn't a huge surprise to learn yesterday that Beyonce Knowles had given the slip to A Star Is Born, the latest remake of the hoary Hollywood tale that Clint Eastwood was planning to direct. She's been attached to the project for two years, with a rotating cast of leading men supposedly approached to co-star (Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Tom Cruise and Bradley Cooper have all been rumored, believe it or not). The pairing of the megawatt A-list singer and a director as respected as Eastwood seemed perfectly logical, but the longer A Star Is Born languished in development with no male lead attached, the more it seemed clear it wasn't the gleaming opportunity it might have seemed two years ago.
Beyonce is a mom now, after all, and rich enough that she has absolutely no reason to do a single thing she doesn't feel like doing. There will probably be other movie projects for Beyonce that don't get caught up in so many delays, and more starring roles to help her become the real triple-threat she's been on the verge of becoming for a decade. But without her A Star Is Born is looking weaker than ever, and at this point, the entire remake idea is seeming kind of pointless without her at its center.
Yes, A Star Is Born is a story far older than Beyonce Knowles, emerging first in Hollywood as a 1937 drama featuring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, then being remade into 1954's Judy Garland and James Mason vehicle, and finally as the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. But all three previous leading ladies share one important thing in common: they were already huge stars before the movie was made, meaning the film was read by viewers as, in some way, a reflection of their own real-life rises to fame. It's right there in the title: a star is, not a star will be born. In every previous incarnation of the story, Esther Blodgett's (or Hoffman's, in the Streisand story) transformation into Vicki Lester has been played by a woman who already got there, and the film's tragedy is given extra depth by being played by an actress who, in some ways, directly knows what it takes to get to the top.
A Star Is Born is also a romance, as our heroine falls for an older man whose fame declines while hers explodes. Both Garland and Streisand had several high-profile relationships with other famous men that, whether intentionally or not, would have reflected on the story of the films. Garland had been married to director Vincente Minnelli (19 years her senior) until three years before her version of A Star Is Born, and Streisand had been married to Elliott Gould and dating Ryan O'Neal. None of their real-life relationships perfectly reflected the one in the film, nor would Beyonce's marriage to Jay-Z; the important thing is that these are all stars whose personal lives we are invested in, and who audiences want to see in this kind of intimate story about how fame and love intersect.
If Eastwood's version of A Star is Born aims to be about a singer and actress, as both the Garland and Streisand versions were, then Beyonce might truly be the only mega-star with the right combination of talents to play the role right now. Rumor has it that Eastwood already has Grammy-winner Esperanza Spalding lined up to take over the lead role, but as talented as she may be, she's not nearly the star Beyonce is, and won't bring the same kind of real-life intrigue to the very familiar story. If you're going to remake A Star Is Born you need a good reason to do it-- otherwise you're just recycling a story that's been told before, and well.
It's possible there are other actresses I'm not thinking of who can bring that same meta-textual meaning to A Star Is Born-- and if so, I'd love to hear about them in the comments.But for now, with Beyonce gone, Eastwood's take on the story is seeming downright pointless. Perhaps it's time to wait until the next real-life Vicki Lester emerges to merit telling this story all over again.

Definitely not, I was happy for the movie maybe two years ago. After all the waiting for male lead I feel the excitement has gone completely. I just want new album and tour

I'm definitely not sweating it... I totally forgot about ASIB actually.
They waited way too long and too much was spoken even before pre-production.
