Barbra Streisand will no longer be playing Rose in the planned Gypsy film remake -- the movie’s no longer getting made.

Arthur Laurents, who wrote the book that inspired the original 1959 Broadway musical, has withdrawn rights permission for the film. He maintains that Barbra Streisand had nothing to do with his decision, but he never liked the 1962 film version of the story in the first place.

Streisand’s rep hasn’t commented on the sudden change in plans.
