- MOVIE NEWS: WARNER BROS. TO REMAKE ‘THE BODYGUARD’After 18 years and grossing over $411 million worldwide, Warner Brothers has decided to remake the 1992 romantic, box office hit film The Bodyguard.
In the original film, Whitney Houston played a musician who hires Kevin
Cosner’s character as her bodyguard. According to reports, the remake
will have the same story line, but the bodyguard will be a former Iraq war veteran:
The new version is similar, including the love story, but here the
bodyguard will be a former Iraq war veteran who gets the job protecting
the star as his first gig after leaving the Army. He discovers that the
world of Twitter, Google Maps and TMZ has made access to celebrities
easier than ever, making the job more difficult than ever. [Source]
It is said that ‘the goal is to take a young female singer with
global appeal and give her the platform that The Bodyguard did for
Houston.’ Rumor has it that Beyonce, Rihanna or Jennifer Hudson may be considered for the female role. | |

| Good Luck with that.
I thot Houston/Costner were perfect in the roles. I hope they plan to leave it interracial. | |

| This is one of those situations where I could not be persuaded to make a donation of an airborne act of carnal knowledge regarding whether they remake this. Hollywood is really that hard up for ideas that they need to remake a film that’s less than 20 years old?

| Yeah, apparently they can't be bothered getting in any new writers with 'new' ideas, I guess that would cost them most money than just blatantly ripping off something that's already been done, in some cases more than others, something that's been done 10 million times. | |

| Oh goody. Another craptastic remake. Let me guess. They're looking at the Rock for the male lead. Or maybe John Cena. Add Lindsay Lohan & we got ourselves one hot hideous mess.
Why can't Hollywood get a clue? Or an original idea? Like Tony said of all the books out there, this is what they come up with? | |
