Plenty of things happen to be incomprehensible in theory but when put into practice, they turn out to be just fine, great even. Perhaps, that could’ve been the fate ofA Star is Bornif J. Lo and the Fresh Prince had starred in the romance/musical, which as it turns out, they almost did.
While it’s not surprising given how there have already been four remakes of the movie, it’s certainly intriguing that Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith went so far as to discuss“developing the script.”But alas, they never got the opportunity to materialize the prospect into reality.

Jennifer Lopez And Will Smith Almost MadeA Star is BornRemake
Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and helmed by Bradley Cooper,A Star is Bornserved as the fourth remake of George Cukor’s 1954 musical of the same name. Starring theHangoverstar along with music icon and actress Lady Gaga, the 2018 version was a booming success both critically and commercially, grossing a colossal sum of $436 million worldwide. Safe to say, Cooper and Gaga, delivered stellar performances. Only if the stars had aligned, maybe thenWill Smithand Jennifer Lopez would’ve been celebrating the film’s seven Oscar nominations instead.
In an old interview withExtras, Lopez, 53, revealed how theBad Boysstar and her had been talking about collaborating onA Star is Bornremake, but unfortunately enough, the pitch never made it past its burgeoning stage.
“Will and I talked about it, talked about developing the script. It just never [happened] … projects are like that.”
However, her missed opportunity certainly didn’t deter theHustlersactress from singing high praise for the award-winning movie.“I’m really proud of Bradley [Cooper],”Lopez remarked as she further went on to admire Gaga’s remarkable delivery in the film.“It’s perfect,”she said.
Sure, Lopez lost a potential blockbuster project which could’ve had her name on it, but hopefully, her forthcoming film that her husband’s production company is helping make will expiate for lost chances.
