Will Beyoncé's Baby Shut Down Her Remake of A Star Is Born?

A star will be born...but will it happen on the big screen?

Beyoncé, who shocked the world by announcing her pregnancy at last night's VMAs, was set to start production on the musical remake of A Star Is Born reportedly as early as this coming February. 

Seeing that she'll probably be giving birth right around then, it doesn't seem exactly feasible.

So what's the plan for the movie?

Most likely, the movie will still star the mama-to-be, according to Deadline.com. But sources close to the production say the film could be pushed back after she's had her little one.

Last night at the MTV awards show, Beyoncé trumped everyone when she looked at the photographers while holding her belly and said she had a surprise. Later that night during performance, she threw down her mike and rubbed her tummy, smiling, as proud hubby Jay-Z looked on.

MTV quickly confirmed the baby news, tweeting, "OMG Beyonce just made a huge announcement on the #vma carpet! #baby!!!!" The singer's rep also confirmed the news, saying, "I'm happy to say it's true."

With the baby news, the pushback allows the studio time to find a leading man for the Clint Eastwood-directed project, after his first pick, Leonardo DiCaprio, passed on the role. Names still in the running for the leading man role opposite the singer include Christian Bale and Will Smith.

Beyoncé was cast in the role previously played by Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland. We think she'll hold her own just fine.

 

UPDATE Aug. 31, 2011: A rep for Warner Bros. tells E! News that "there was never an official start date for the film; as such, production will commence after Beyoncé has her baby next year."
