Beyonce told E! News: "I was looking forward to the production of A Star Is Born and the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood.

"For months we tried to coordinate our schedules to bring this remake to life but it was just not possible. Hopefully in the future we will get a chance to work together."

The news causes further headache for Eastwood who has been unable to close a deal with a male lead for the movie. They had been linked to a number of top Hollywood actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio but none have been available to confirm their part on the new film as yet.

Now the casting team will have to go back to the drawing board for the female lead, as it appeared they were relying on Beyonce coming on board.

According to the box office-revenue tracking website, Box Office Mojo, films featuring Eastwood have grossed a total of more than US$1.68 billion domestically, with an average of $37 million per film.
