Beyonce has pulled out of Clint Eastwood's new movie, A Star Is Born, due to conflicting schedules.

The 'Run The World (Girls)' singer was pipped as the frontrunner to star as the leading lady in the remake of the 1976 flick, however, she has now dropped the role to focus on other projects, according to Variety.

The 31-year-old was expected to play the role of an aspiring singer, a role made famous by Barbra Streisand in the original, but Grammy award-winning jazz singer Esperanza Spalding is reportedly being considered for the role.

Bradley Cooper was said to be in talks to star as the male lead, however, Eastwood recently refuted the claims and said they haven't committed anyone to any of the roles.

Production on the movie is also yet to be confirmed.
