MUMBAI: If all goes according to plans,Tom Cruise could again be showing off his singing skills in his next film opposite Beyonce Knowles. The actor is in talks to join the Clint Eastwood-directed film A Star Is Born that has Cruise play a musician who falls in love with Knowles‘ character and helps promote her career as a female artist.

However, it is still unclear whether Cruise would agree to star in the film since he has a pretty busy schedule. A Star Is Born promises an updated version of a romantic relationship between an alcoholic star on his way out and a young female artist on the rise. The project has actually been developed for sometime, but it fell apart before finally coming back together again earlier in 2011. Eastwood‘s movie, meanwhile, is expected to kick off shooting as soon as June.

The actor has just begun filming for Joseph Kosinski‘s Horizons that he will follow up with Doug Liman‘s We Mortals Are. Before Cruise, several others like Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Will Smith were approached for the male lead part.
