Warner Bros. is reportedly bringing back the 1992 romantic thriller The Bodyguard, originally starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. Sam Wrench, known for directing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, is set to helm the remake.
Speculation is swirling that Costner, now 70, might reprise his role as Frank Farmer, the former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard. Taylor Swift, 35, is rumored to take on the role of the superstar client, echoing Houston’s original character.
The original film was a massive success, grossing $411 million worldwide and featuring a soundtrack that became the best-selling of all time, with hits like “I Will Always Love You” and “I Have Nothing.”
While casting details haven’t been confirmed, the potential pairing of Costner and Swift has fans buzzing. The remake aims to modernize the story, possibly incorporating contemporary elements like online celebrity culture and social media scrutiny.
The project is still in early development, with no official release date announced. However, the involvement of Wrench and the rumored casting choices suggest a fresh take on the beloved classic.
