‘The Bodyguard’ Remake With ‘Taylor Swift: Eras Tour’ Director Sam Wrench And ‘Juror No. 2’ Scribe In Works At Warner Bros


Warner Bros has just set plans to revamp The Bodyguard, the 1992 romantic drama thriller that teamed superstars Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

The original plot centered on Costner’s former Secret Service agent Frank Farmer, who takes a job as bodyguard to famous R&B star Rachel Marron, played by Houston at the height of her pop-star fame. Drama, romance and a thriller plot ensue as Frank tries to sniff out a dangerous stocker, with the final act playing out as Rachel wins the Best Picture Academy Award. Other IP plays in the works include Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Jay Roach with their Oceans Eleven prequel; Matt Reeves as producer, working with Marvel’s Werewolf By Night director Michael Giacchino on a remake of the library title Them; Andy Serkis directing Gollum; and Cat in the Hat being co-directed by Jon M. Chu among others in the quiet stages.
