Bradley Cooper, who was all set to make a directorial debut with the remake of 'A Star Is Born,' has put his dreams on hold after his rumoured co-star Beyonce asked too much money for the role.

Warner Bros. was negotiating with the 41-year-old actor to direct and star in the remake of the 1950s musical and the 'Halo' hit-maker was being lined up to play the lead, reports News.com.au.

But, the sources are now claimed that the 34-year-old songstress wanted too much money and Warner Bros. baulked at her price.

The production budget was also said to be an issue with the studio, so the project has fallen apart.

However, a different source claimed that Cooper has started reading scripts for his next acting project, but the 'Star Is Born' project remains in development and he is still involved.

On personal front, Cooper recently made his relationship with Irina Shayk official as they made their first red carpet debut as a couple at the L'Oreal Red Obsession Party in Paris.
