Barbra Streisand will finally be singing 'Rose's Turn' now that her long-in-the-wings GYPSY film has found a director in RAIN MAN Oscar-winner Barry Levinson (who also wrote the book for Sheryl Crow's musical DINER).

Casting for Barbra Streisand's new GYPSY film is starting to move beyond rumors and clandestine meetings.

Is it finally Rose's turn? Stage and screen legend Barbra Streisand's husband, actor James Brolin, just spoke to Extra about the likelihood of his wife's film remake of GYPSY getting the go-ahead.

It's been one of the most talked about (and most stalled) musical projects of the past few years. Stage and screen legend Barbra Streisand has been working with Universal Pictures on a new big screen adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical GYPSY since 2011. This would be the third film of GYPSY having first been made in 1962 (starring Rosalind Russell) and then again in 1993 for television (starring Bette Midler). Screenwriter and THE LAST FIVE YEARS director Richard LaGravenese recently told Queerty.com that the screenplay has been finished since before Christmas.

While participating in a Twitter chat this evening to celebrate her newest album, PARTNERS, hitting #1 on the charts, the star fielded a question about the film from gossip maven Perez Hilton.

Barbra Streisand stopped by ETOnline to talk about her new album PARTNERS (out today, September 16), as well as joining Instagram, the possible upcoming GYPSY movie as her 'swan song' and more. Watch the interview below!

Don't count out Barbra Streisand's long-gestating film adaptation of GYPSY quite yet.

As BWW previously reported, Matthew Warchus will not be joining Barbra Streisand as helmer for Universal's upcoming GYPSY big-screen adaptation, but now Nikki Finke writes that Babs could be considering a dual role as 'Mama Rose' and director for the project.

Stage and screen legend Barbra Streisand is in the midst of a sold-out concert tour in Europe, and when asked by a fan in the audience about the status of the GYPSY film, she answered 'tell those people who want to know when I will start filming GYPSY to call Stephen Sondheim and ask him.'

In a Q&A for the The New York Times, Barbra Streisand took the time to answer readers' questions about her current and future projects. When asked 'Are you still planning to play Momma Rose in 'Gypsy'?' by a reader in Seattle, Streisand simply responded, 'Yes.'
